Honeymoon - A luxury couples+ Yurt in a stunning historic estate near Newquay
For Covid-19 cancellations, Staycation Holidays offer a full money back guarantee. If you or we have to cancel your booking due to government restrictions relating to Covid - you will receive a full refund, or you may decide to choose alternative dates.
Discover the spirit of nomadic living with a stay at Honeymoon; one of ten luxurious, spacious Mongolian-inspired Yurts nestled in 62 acres of historic Estate at the Fir Hill Real Glamping hideout.
Overlooking the stunning Porth Reservoir and Cornish countryside, the glamping site is less than 5km from the beautiful sand and surfer friendly beaches of Newquay on the north coast of Cornwall.
This eco-friendly estate is unique in that it is self-sustaining and totally off-grid. Perfect for lovers of the great outdoors it provides an unforgettable Yurtist experience away from the pressures of 21st century living. All the lights, WiFi, showers are run from sunlight and logs!
Communal facilities are centred around a couple of brand new barns, built on the site of the estate’s old cow shed, with a warm social space (and views of the Porth Reservoir), as well as modern toilets and shower rooms. An outdoor terrace, meanwhile, offers a south-facing space for soaking up the sun with a covered barbecue area alongside.
The prime location combined with the luxuriousness of the Yurts themselves gives Fir Hill an obvious appeal. But much of the place’s charm is also owed to the ethos. Part glamping site and part restoration of an estate that was long overdue its time in the spotlight, the site has been painstakingly restored and renewed with the environment in mind. Water comes from a bore hole, huge solar panels cover part of the cowshed roof and a Froling turbo log boiler allows the site to run off thermal energy when the sun isn’t out. The owners have also planted over 200 fruit trees to restore the abandoned orchards.
Honeymoon is a smaller Yurt suitable for couples or up to three people. Our other nine Yurts on site are larger family Yurts each sleeping six. Honeymoon is tastefully decorated and includes a double bed and a single bed, plus all bedding and bed linen. The Yurt has its own kitchen shelter, outdoor seating terrace and firepit.

All vehicles must be parked in the designated parking area
Please bring your own towels and toiletries, wellies, slippers and a torch! A full list of suggested items to bring will be provided with your booking details

Whilst there is a plentiful supply of wood provided, this can be a slow cooking process. Therefore you may want to bring your own supply of charcoal, or buy it locally.
The site is popular for exclusive hire, with all ten Yurts being made available for group celebrations and weddings for 50+ guests. Please enquire for details. Corporate events and team building trips are also welcomed.
Real Glamping staff will be in attendance to look after alternative energy systems (biomass burner, log burners, battery management etc...).
There are multiple charging stations through the Cowshed. However there is no electricity in the yurts or its enclosure. Given electrical load issues (the Fir Hill is off grid), electric hairdryers, curlers/straighteners are not allowed.
Please drive slowly when entering the estate, especially if your car has low clearance.
