Stargazer Reviews

Hannah

Stargazer is a lovely property. I would say it isnt as private as it seems from the photos. There are other properties close by though it didnt feel overlooked too much. The place is very clean and tidy with extra towels for hot tub use. The bed was very comfortable as well. Having the tent as extra space was also lovely. The hot tub was clean and looked well maintained. My only issue would be for the price Id expect at least some milk in the fridge and more tea and coffee available. Even some salt and pepper it just something Id expect for a luxury place. This could also be the same about how much wood is provided for the hot tub especially as the initially heating takes at least one bag and we struggled to find any to buy elsewhere though Sarah did provide extra for us for additional cost. The location though is great for accessing Newquay or Perranporth. Id still highly recommend Stargazer though it was a beautiful peaceful stay.

Christopher

We really enjoyed our 3 nights stay at Stargazer. The shepheards hut had enough storage for what we required and was equipped with more than adequate utensils. The bed was very comfortable. It was wonderful to have the use of the tent as we had varied weather! and enjoyed playing Cornish Monopoly. There were adequate blankets provided but maybe a source of heating could be considered for the colder months. It's worth bearing in mind that the hot tub takes a lot of wood to heat it first off and only one bag of wood is provided for all 3 wood burning facilities regardless of how many nights you stay. We had to purchase another bag to see us through our 3 night stay using hot tub each night and fire pit on one occasion we did not use the wood burner. The area around the accommodation is beautiful but did feel slightly overlooked by a couple of houses upstairs windows on site. The welcome drink was a lovely surprise.

It was like a second honeymoon for us. We came to Cornwall for the first time for my Husbands 50th. Will definitely comeback, we loved it,

Sophie

We had the best stay at Stargazer and havent stopped raving about it to friends and family since weve been back. The Shepards Hut was beautifully decorated and even though its not the biggest space it has everything you need and makes it very cosy! We loved the hot tub and the fact you can see all the stars in the sky at night, we even saw a few shooting stars! Its just a lovely and peaceful place to stay for a couples getaway would 1000 recommend and I think wed love to come back in the future! Thank you so much Helen & Sarah!

Our first time in a shepherds hut and it didn't disappoint. My First impression was that it was smaller than in the photographs but it was cosy and adequate and had everything we needed. Despite the weather we managed to use the hot tub which was a treat, we lit the firepit and sat in the bedouin tent. All in all a great stay. We would thoroughly recommend it.

Rebecca

Me and my partner both had a great stay at Stargazer despite the rain, found the bed to be very comfortable and enjoyed all the nearby activities such as Eden Project and Healeys cider farm. Stargazer was a very nice hut and all was very well decorated and equipped too. We enjoyed sitting in the tent and used the fire pit to make our own chicken skewers and loved the hot tub. However due to being on the slightly smaller side it lacks a freezer and oven, we made do and ate very well still. Will definitely be staying again soon.

Me and my husband decided to get away for our anniversary and this was perfect! Very romantic and our little doggo enjoyed too. The little tent was cute and perfect for us to snuggle and watch films on our laptop. There is no TV so we took our laptop and some films. Its cosy and has everything you need. We were out most of the days we were there, which was perfect as we were not disturbed once. The hot tub was lovely too and perfect for us to celebrate our anniversary! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend if looking for a romantic getaway in Cornwall! Thank you and we hope to return some time in the future

Michael

We absolutely loved our stay in The Stargazer! Everything was perfect and the bell tent and fire pit were amazing additions! We are already hoping to book again in the winter!

Absolute beautiful stay in the middle of Cornwall. Enjoyed the quiet, cozy & romantic atmosphere the place gave. Brilliant Owners! It's a place to keep in the books for future visits!
