Why Do People Love Luxury Glamping in Cornwall?

Well, why wouldn't they...

But to list just a few reasons why a stay at Trewithen Farm Glamping is guaranteed to recharge your batteries, and to realise why so many visitors love our luxury pods surrounded by nature, read on..

​Cornwall, with its rugged coastlines, charming villages, and breathtaking natural landscapes, has long been a popular destination for those seeking a retreat from everyday life. But in recent years, there’s been a rise in a new way of experiencing this beloved corner of England: luxury glamping. Combining the best of both worlds—outdoor adventure and high-end comfort—luxury glamping in Cornwall has captured the hearts of travelers looking for a unique and indulgent experience in nature. But what exactly makes it so irresistible?

​

1.  **Immersive Nature, Without the Sacrifices**

One of the biggest draws of luxury glamping in Cornwall is the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the stunning natural environment, without having to compromise on comfort. Glamping offers a chance to escape to secluded spots along the coastline or deep within the countryside, where you can enjoy the serenity of Cornwall’s iconic beaches, moorlands, and woodlands. Unlike traditional camping, which often means roughing it with minimal facilities, luxury glamping ensures you can enjoy nature’s beauty while still having access to modern comforts—think plush beds, hot showers, stylish furnishings, and even wood-burning stoves.

These upscale tents, yurts, pods, and shepherd’s huts are typically well-equipped with everything you need to feel pampered—high-thread-count linens, gourmet kitchens, and private bathrooms that make the experience feel more like a boutique hotel in the wild than a traditional campsite.

​

2.  **Unbeatable Scenic Locations**

Cornwall is home to some of the most stunning landscapes in the UK. From the windswept cliffs of Land’s End to the secluded coves of St Ives and the mystical moors of Bodmin, luxury glamping allows visitors to stay right in the heart of these incredible locations. Whether you choose a tent perched above the cliffs, a yurt nestled among the trees, or a stylish cabin by the beach, glamping gives you the rare opportunity to wake up to views that most people can only dream of.

Many glamping sites in Cornwall are located in areas of outstanding natural beauty, often with private access to beaches or nature reserves, stunning countryside walks, or cycling routes, offering an idyllic retreat for those wanting to experience Cornwall’s landscapes up close.

​

3.  **A Unique Experience**

Luxury glamping offers something different from the typical hotel stay or holiday cottage rental. The experience itself is part of the allure. You can stargaze by a campfire, wake up to birdsong, and enjoy your breakfast outside surrounded by nature. For couples, families, or groups of friends, it’s a chance to slow down, disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and enjoy quality time together in an atmosphere of relaxed luxury.

For those who are not seasoned campers, glamping offers a way to enjoy the great outdoors without the stress of setting up a tent, dealing with unpredictable weather, or dealing with the hassle of packing and hauling camping gear. The idea of "glamping" (glamorous camping) is all about bringing a bit of luxury to the traditional camping experience.

​

4.  **Eco-Friendly and Sustainable**

For the eco-conscious traveler, many luxury glamping sites in Cornwall focus on sustainability. Many of these sites use eco-friendly materials, solar power, and composting toilets to minimize their environmental impact. Glamping can allow visitors to have a low-carbon footprint while still enjoying a comfortable and stylish stay. Cornwall’s emphasis on preserving its natural beauty and the rise of eco-tourism makes glamping an appealing option for those looking to stay in a way that is environmentally responsible.

Glamping also promotes the idea of staying locally and embracing a slower, more mindful way of travel. Many glamping sites - like Trewithen Farm Glamping - are small, family-run operations that source their materials locally and emphasize connection with the surrounding environment, enhancing the overall sense of a sustainable, nature-focused getaway.

​

5.  **Perfect for Every Season**

Unlike traditional camping, luxury glamping is an option that works well year-round. Cornwall’s mild climate makes it a popular destination throughout all seasons, but with luxury glamping, you can enjoy comfort no matter the weather. In the colder months, luxury glamping accommodations often come with wood-burning stoves, underfloor heating, and plush interiors to ensure you stay warm and cozy. In summer, you can enjoy the outdoor space and perhaps even a private hot tub, allowing you to fully embrace Cornwall’s stunning surroundings without sacrificing comfort.

For those looking to escape the crowds, Cornwall’s quieter seasons—autumn and winter—offer a peaceful and more intimate glamping experience. There’s something magical about enjoying a quiet retreat in Cornwall when the tourist crowds have dispersed, with the landscape all to yourself.

​

6.  **Family-Friendly & Pet-Friendly**

Some luxury glamping sites in Cornwall are also particularly attractive for families. The spaciousness of glamping units makes them perfect for families with children who want to have fun in the great outdoors but also need a little more space and comfort. Many sites provide kid-friendly amenities such as games, play areas, or even petting farms, ensuring everyone has a memorable experience.

Speaking of pets, Cornwall’s laid-back atmosphere makes it an ideal destination for dog lovers, and many glamping sites are pet-friendly, allowing guests to bring their furry companions along for the adventure. NOTE: Trewithen Farm Glamping is specifically aimed at adult couples and is pet free.

​

7. **A Gateway to Adventure**

Cornwall offers a diverse array of outdoor activities, and glamping provides the perfect base for exploring it all. From hiking the South West Coast Path with its awe-inspiring coastal views to surfing in Newquay, kayaking on the Camel Estuary, or visiting the Eden Project, Cornwall offers adventure at every turn. After a day of exploring, guests can return to their glamping accommodations and unwind in comfort, perhaps with a glass of wine or a home-cooked meal.

Whether you’re looking to reconnect with nature, explore Cornwall’s rich history and culture, or simply relax in a beautiful setting, luxury glamping provides a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.

​

Conclusion

Luxury glamping in Cornwall is a perfect way to experience the beauty of this stunning region without sacrificing comfort. With its combination of scenic locations, eco-friendly accommodations, and indulgent touches, glamping allows travelers to enjoy the best of both worlds: the adventure of the outdoors and the luxury of a high-end retreat.
