The Secret Snug is a contemporary shepherd's hut in the grounds of Kerryn Barn near Trethowel in Cornwall, with a wood-fired hot tub and uninterrupted views across open countryside. The interior combines a king size bed, a kitchen area, a shower, and seating for two. A compost toilet sits adjacent, and a gate from the surrounding field leads into woods with a walk to Mennacuddle Well.
The location is well placed for both the North and South Cornwall coasts, with St Austell, the Eden Project, Pentewan, and Mevagissey all within reach. The hot tub requires manual heating over 3 to 4 hours with regular log addition, which is either part of the appeal or a consideration depending on preference. At 59 reviews and 4.97, it is still relatively early in its trajectory but performing well. The woodland access and walking routes from the door add substance beyond the hut itself.
We love the walk through the gate, into the woods, and down to Mennacuddle Well. Having a medieval holy well as a walking destination from a shepherd's hut is a genuinely unusual feature.
Lots of reviews praise the cabin's beauty, privacy, and peacefulness. Guests loved the homely feel, wood-fired hot tub, and stunning views. Nadine's friendly helpfulness and clear instructions were frequently mentioned. Highly recommended.
