Reddivallen Lakeside Hut

Reddivallen Lakeside Hut is a handcrafted shepherd's hut for two, set beside a private lake on a working farm near Trevalga and Boscastle. The wood-fired hot tub is the property's defining feature, heated on-site rather than run from an electric unit.

Inside, the hut holds a double bed and one bathroom - compact, and built for a couple rather than a family. A wood burner adds heat on cooler evenings, and WiFi is included. There is no dishwasher or washing machine, so this is a stay for guests happy to keep meals and laundry simple. Dogs are not accepted, so this is not a booking for guests travelling with a pet.

Outside, the hot tub sits in the garden with the lake and surrounding farmland as the setting. Boscastle village is a little over a mile away. Bossiney Cove is 2.1 miles, Tregardock Beach is 4.5 miles and Crackington Haven is 5.8 miles, each within reach for a beach day. The South West Coast Path, Tintagel and Port Isaac extend the options for longer outings from the hut.

Host Anna manages the booking, and the letting agent rates the location 5 out of 5, with cleanliness, equipment and comfort each at 4. The overall rating is 4.9 from 27 reviews, and prices start at £560 a night.

**Best for:** a couple wanting a private wood-fired hot tub, a quiet lakeside setting and wood-burner warmth for a low-key stay.

**Less good for:** guests travelling with a dog, needing a dishwasher or washing machine, or requiring step-free access.
