Mr Toad's Moonlight Retreat

Mr Toad's Moonlight Retreat is a shepherd's hut for two near Gooseham, a hamlet in Morwenstow parish about six miles north of Bude. The postcode, coordinates and nearest-town data all place the hut here rather than in Boscastle. It has one king size bed and one bathroom.

A hot tub set among trees, a wood burner, WiFi, parking, EV charging and a garden with barbecue are all included, and one dog can stay. There is no dishwasher or washing machine, so this is a self-catering stay built around the hut and its outdoor space rather than a fully equipped cottage. Host Robert manages the booking.

The South West Coast Path runs about two miles from the property, giving access to the cliffs around Morwenstow, where the Victorian vicar and poet Robert Stephen Hawker built his clifftop driftwood hut, now cared for by the National Trust. Duckpool Beach is 3.2 miles away, Sandymouth Beach 4 miles and Northcott Mouth Beach 4.8 miles, all reachable by car from this rural setting.

Guide prices start from £471 a night, and the hut holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating from 28 reviews.

**Best for:** two guests wanting a woodland hot tub, wood burner, EV charging and a quiet North Cornwall base.

**Less good for:** guests needing laundry facilities, a dishwasher or a coastal address within walking distance of the beach.
