A little gem in St Kew
What a lovely place to stay. Cosy hut with everything you need to make your stay just perfect. Lovely greeting and care from the property manager. Not far from some beautiful beaches and harbours where the food is exceptional. Would highly recommend and will return.

A delightful cosy wooden cottage in a tranquil and private location with everything in place, what a nice touch too with the welcome basket filled with goodies and delicious warm homemade bread on arrival. This is the place for a very relaxing holiday.

The Beach Hut - a perfect place to unwind
We had a really relaxing time staying in the Beach Hut. The accommodation was excellent and we had everything we needed. The location was perfect for exploring the North Cornish coastline. We walked coastal paths, visited some gorgeous beaches and enjoyed a cider or two. Leonie and Rob were fantastic hosts and we would definitely recommend the Beach Hut to anyone wanting a relaxing base for their Cornish adventures.

A peaceful little hideaway!
The Beech Hut was exactly as it had been described by the owners and previous residents. The accommodation itself had everything we needed, was clean and comfortable and was in a lovely location. The garden was lovely and we enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evenings watching the bats. St Kew is an ideal location for visiting Port Isaac, Padstow (via the Rock ferry), Boscastle and Tintagel. There was a little welcome hamper containing some essentials as well as a loaf of homemade bread. If you are looking for a peaceful break then this has to be the place!

Perfect Escape (21st-24th May 2019)
A beautiful and peaceful retreat where every detail had been thought of by Leonie and Rob, even down to a welcome hamper with freshly baked bread. The village of St Kew is lovely, and perfectly located to enjoy the many coastal walks that North Cornwall has to offer. We would also highly recommend the St Kew Inn which is just a few paces from the Beech Hut and serves the most delicious food! Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will definitely be returning as there is so much more to explore. Sarah & James

The Beach Hut is the perfect location for a romantic holiday in North Cornwall. It is cosy and comfortable and incredibly relaxing. From the welcome hamper to the top tips in the welcome pack, Leonie and Rob will make your stay very special. We thoroughly enjoyed our week away and will definitely be returning.

Amazing Beech Hut! Beautiful and very relaxing
What a fabulous beech hut the location was perfect and a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. The hut had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable with some essential items in a lovely hamper and lovely fresh flowers. We spent most evenings on the rocking chairs with a bbq chimnea light so we could stay cosy until the sun went down. The pub is also lovely With great food and atmosphere. We really feel in love with the beech hut and Cornwall so much so we will see you again next year. Thanks Leonie and Rob for all the attention to detail and creating a beautiful place from runs to relax and recharge.

A gorgeous beech hut in an amazing location, a perfect getaway!
Our stay was incredible, we couldn't have wished for more. The beech hut is great, full of character and a great romantic hideaway in the beautiful village of St.Kew. Leonie was such a welcoming host who truly helped us feel at home and the welcome hamper on arrival was a really nice extra. This hut is in a great location, hidden away from the major towns but still easily commutable to the main attractions. During our stay we visited the Eden project, Port Issac and Tintagel castle, all of which were easy to get to. I couldn't recommend this place more, we will definitely be back to visit the place where we got engaged!

Perfect cabin retreat
We spent a few nights at the Beech Hut just after ‘the beast from the east’ snow had hit but didn’t notice the cold as the fantastic wood burner keep the place so warm and cosy. The bed is one of the most comfortable we’ve slept on. The kitchen is really well equipped with a few essentials provided which are a really nice touch. Overall, quality accommodation with thoughtful and friendly hosts. Would love to come back in warmer weather to enjoy the veranda and garden. Would also recommend the friendly pub across the road for food.

Cute, cozy, private and perfect cabin for couples who want to get away from it all!
We had an amazing experience at the Beech Hut! Upon arrival we were welcomed by Leonie who baked us a fresh loaf of bread and had the fire on for us. Her and Rob were great hosts. The cabin itself was just perfect. Everything you needed for a cozy night in to cook your own meal was there (cooking utensils, pots/pans, plates, hob etc). The bed was comfortable and the shower room had a decent amount of space. There’s also a book shelve full of fiction/non-fiction books as well as maps and books of Cornwall. The overall atmosphere of the place was just lovely. It was exactly what my partner and I were looking for and we couldn’t recommend it enough. The gardens were beautiful as well as the seating area on the porch which was covered by an over hang in case of wet weather. The village of St. Kew was very cute. Once you walk out of the cabin and several steps up to the high street the pub is just several meters away across the road. There’s a great farm shop just up on the main road and Port Isaac fishing village is only a 20 minute drive away. A picturesque, must-see village! We can’t wait to return to The Beech Hut soon.

Fantastic!!!!
We enjoyed a lovely weekend. The pictures of the beech hut do not do the place enough justice as it was even better than we expected :) it looks beautiful in the pictures but even better in real life. Amazing hosts with attention to detail - a log fire burning on our arrival and a fresh warm loaf of bread and hamper with other goodies :). Highly recommend the pub opposite the st Kew inn - the food was amazing especially the Sunday roast! A lovely area and was perfect for our weekend away. We hope to return soon :)

Our week at The Beech Hut. Aug. 2017
We loved our short stay at the beech Hut.The accommodation had everything needed to make an enjoyable visit to Cornwall. The beech Hut is so close to some of Cornwall's wonderful beaches and attractive towns and pretty villages. Initially we had some reservations about the spiral staircase however once we had negotiated it a few times there was no problem at all. The garden is a pure delight and with the stream running at the bottom of the garden makes it a real pleasurable place. Although the weather could have been better it didn't deter us from getting out and visiting some of our favourite places. Thank you Leonie and Rob for making our short stay a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Peter and Marie

Fantastic place.
The Beech Hut is tucked away in a gorgeous place in North Cornwall. Leonie welcomed us with a wonderful lit wood burner and the smell of freshly baked bread.There was a small hamper full of essentials like coffee tea sugar etc. Very thoughtful . The Hut is fully equipped with everything you need to enjoy your holiday. The Hut is so cosy you really don't want to leave, but you must explore the area. Cornwall is so diverse, the people are so friendly. We would recommend this property to stay. But we won't be telling too many people incase we can't get the weeks we want to stay here !

Everything we needed in a cosy, small cabin, set in a beautiful garden in a delightful village.
Peace and quiet, flowers, birds, a small stream, a beautiful old church, a good pub, a comfy bed, a wood stove, new kitchen ware, a microwave, slow cooker, induction hot plates, hot water, good sharp knives, lots of books, maps and videos and a warm welcome. We loved staying here.

Perfect place for a trip for 2. Couldn't have been better!
The Beech Hut is the most wonderful little building and as soon as we got there we wanted one! Not that we have anywhere to put it. Perfectly formed and beautifully furnished it had everything we needed for a romantic break. The village is lovely and the garden is charming. Leonie and Rob made us feel very welcome. We can't wait to return! Couldn't recommend highly enough :)

Gorgeous
The Beech Hut is simply gorgeous and from the moment we arrived, to find freshly baked bread in the welcome pack, Leonie and Rob were superb hosts (even posted my glasses which were dropped on the drive back to us). The Beech Hut has everything you need whether you want a quiet, romantic, getaway or something more active and the lovely location in St Kew makes this the perfect base for exploring all that North Cornwall has to offer - and the cliff path to Port Isaac is stunning. We were also lucky enough to be there for the Gig in the Garden at the pub next door complete with beer and cider tent and a variety of bands throughout the day. You will have a great time at the Beech Hut - Can't recommend it strongly enough.

Very beautiful - Cornwall at its best
The Beech Hut is a wonderful, very clean, well equipped and lovely decorated holiday home situated in calm St. Kew next to an old, authentic pub with delicious food. Above all we can recommend the mussels! The warm welcome, the best hosts you can have, a big, quiet garden made us feel very comfortable. No doubt- the Beech Hut is a special place where you feel happy and it is an ideal starting point for exploring beautiful Cornwall. Don't miss to visit Bude, which is not as crowded as other (also beautiful) places, enjoy the lovely beaches nearby, experience small and often steep Cornish roads and, and .... It was just great to be with you, Leonie and Rob! Thanks again for your hospitality. Hope to see you both and of course Zoroo again in the future.

Little Piece Of Paradise just perfect In every way
The Beech Hut is a hidden little gem in a secret garden. it's idyllic & perfect for our honeymoon. The attention to detail is second to none. Leonie & Rob are the perfect hosts. We didn't want to leave when our week was over, it was heaven, we were both so chilled & relaxed. We had a beautiful welcome & the information provided in the beech hut is so useful. They have thought of absolutely everything. The garden is amazing so private & so peaceful. Thank you both for making our honeymoon extra special, you're such a beautiful couple & you're lovely personality flows through The Beech Hut. Thankyou Rob for building this little piece of paradise & to you both for sharing & allowing us to enjoy the peace & tranquility of this beautiful place. It is central to everywhere & Leonie is more than willing to recommend different places to visit. There is not enough words to describe this beautiful place. We very highly recommend you to visit & guarantee you will want to return. We will be returning in the near future. Thank you so much for making our stay a week to remember. Love from Ian & Kath the new Mr & Mrs Jones xXx

Secluded hideaway hut!
We spent a lovely week in the Beech hut. It's a very romantic hut for a couple and has everything you need, including a hammock! We enjoyed bbq-ing on the chimenia. The garden is lovely! The local pub is excellent. St Kew is a great location for visiting nearby beaches and harbour villages. We hope to return!

The Beech Hut, St Kew, Cornwall
We booked the Beech Hut because we wanted to see Port Isaac. I loved the look of the accommodation as advertised online and wasn't disappointed when we arrived. Situated in the beautiful garden lovingly tended by Leonie and Rob, this is a very peaceful and relaxing location. The Beech Hut is tastefully equipped and kept in good order. The bed was the best I have ever slept in away from home. Internet TV and DVD's provided. We didn't have the best of weather during June 2016 and lit the wood burner on a couple of chilly evenings....very cosy. The porch has two rocking chairs and a chiminea and it's lovely to sit and listen to the birds singing and the sound of water from the nearby stream. St Kew Inn is directly opposite selling good food if a tad expensive. Lots of things to do including a driving range a mile or so up the lane. We went to Wadebridge for our shopping at the co-op. We loved Port Isaac which is a couple of miles drive from the Beech Hut. Need to get there early to get a parking place. To sum up we had a lovely relaxing time and would most definitely recommend this holiday let.

Absolutely stunning and relaxing little oasis
We had a fabulous weeks stay at The Beech Hut. The interior was comfortable and well thought out with lots of little comforts provided such as books, DVDs, games, maps and even a streaming stick for catch up TV. The kitchen is equipped well with the added bonus of a wonderful welcome hamper supplied by Leonie and Rob and shower room is perfect. When it comes to the outside of this property words fail me how beautiful this is. To sit out either early morning or in the evening with the chimnea blazing and listen to the owls and other birds and bat watching is truly outstanding and relaxing and beats any amount of television. Leonie and Rob are the perfect hosts and a special mention to their lovely little cat who gave us regular cuddles Will definitely be back I could not reccommend more

Beautiful gem in a beautiful place
Arrived at the Beech Hut and straight away we were so impressed with the welcome we received. Leonie and Rob were well prepared and gave us hints and tips when needed. First time in Cornwall and everyone was so welcoming and there are many things to do in the area. Lived hearing the Owls at night and literally not doing anything but relax. This is an place you cannot afford to push by, we will definitely be back xxx

Fabulously charming character cabin in a beautiful and tranquil setting
There is no doubt that The Beech Hut has been built with joy and love and the greatest attention to detail and it's almost secluded setting transports you to a world of your own. The furnishings and fittings are also of the highest quality and again the attention to detail is apparent. The bed is probably the most comfortable one I've ever slept in. We stayed for a week in February and had some very mixed weather and the log burner was always a welcome sight when we returned home each night, heating the cabin in next to no time. Unfortunately it was a bit too wet to enjoy the garden, but having stayed here previously in summer months when we breakfasted in the garden I can say it's an extremely pleasurable experience with the sun shining down through the trees and the birds singing. As seasoned walkers we were out every day exploring not only the local areas but also a bit further afield. Rob and Leonie are the perfect 'hosts'. Nothing at all is too much trouble for them and whilst their presence is unobtrusive they are readily on hand to offer great ideas for places to visit and things to do depending on your preferences. The local pub is on the doorstep offering great food and drinks. We went in on our 1st night "for just a couple" after our long journey and gleefully staggered out much later than expected having discovered Friday was live music night which meant we simply HAD to stay and join in! For those quieter nights in there's lots to entertain you - books, games, maps to help you plan your next day and a TV offering a great range of programmes via the Internet and Netflix. The hob, microwave and slow cooker also mean you can easily prepare and cook a meal if you don't want to eat out. We have had 2 holidays in The Beech Hut and there will definitely be more. It's a little piece of paradise in an area that is already stunning in its own right.

A beautiful beach hut, tucked away in a secluded garden.
Our stay can only be described as perfect from the moment we arrived to leaving. We were both so shocked on arriving to see how beautiful the location and the hut itself were. Inside the hut the hosts had given everything we needed for food prep, in a compact but very functional kitchen, making our lives much easier as we didn't eat out over our stay. The little personal touches around the place really made you feel well looked after from the welcom hamper to the blankets by the fire. We can't wait to book again as we were completely blown away.

Die Hütte ist sehr hübsch und steht unter einer riesigen Buche in einem traumhaften Garten.
Die Hütte ist perfekt ausgestattet und ausgesprochen liebevoll eingerichtet. Alles ist sauber, modern und gut zu nutzen. Es bleiben auch in der Küche keine Wünsche offen. Leonie ist eine wunderbare Gastgeberin und hat uns mit frischem selbstgebackenen Brot, Butter, Marmelade Kaffee und Keksen empfangen. Die Terrasse mit Schaukelstühlen, Hängematte und Grillofen (Chimera) hat uns entspannende Stunden ermöglicht. Das Pub, das nur einige Schritte entfernt liegt, ist ebenfalls sehr empfehlenswert. Es gibt gutes Essen, leckere Getränke und ein ausgesprochen schönes Ambiente mit Biergarten. Auch dort sind die Leute sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Insgesamt kann man sich keinen besseren Ort zum erholen vorstellen. Wir kommen bestimmt noch mal wieder.
