    “I absolutely LOVED the Olju!”

    If I could put it on a trailer and take it home to live in forever I would! The layout and size is perfect. It's perfectly clean and has everything you need. We like making pancakes for breakfast and it was great that the kitchen had a decent bowl, whisk and measuring jug. A lot of places dont have these items. The jammy dodgers were a lovely little surprise. :-) The bathroom and shower is great. Spotless and good size. Beds were comfortable with decent pillows to suit individual preference ...

    If I could put it on a trailer and take it home to live in forever I would! The layout and size is perfect. It's perfectly clean and has everything you need. We like making pancakes for breakfast and it was great that the kitchen had a decent bowl, whisk and measuring jug. A lot of places dont have these items. The jammy dodgers were a lovely little surprise. :-) The bathroom and shower is great. Spotless and good size. Beds were comfortable with decent pillows to suit individual preference. The hot tub was such a treat and the location is lovely and quiet. Exactly what we wanted. We didn't get to use the fire pit as the weather wasn't on our side, but i can imagine on a calm clear night this wohld have been beautiful. The only slightly negative feedback is that some people staying for longer than a couple of nights may not like not having space to unpack clothes (this didn't bother us). There's a very helpful book for visitors new to Cornwall offering ideas for places to visit and eat. We honestly had a lovely short stay and we would definitely recommend it. As a rule, we don't like to revisit places as the world is big and there's so much to see - however, this is one place we are already considering returning to for a longer stay. It's definitely worth 5 stars in our opinion!

The property

Hidden in the countryside on the outskirts of the village of Ponsanooth in Cornwall is The Olju.

This wonderful glamping pod boasts a contemporary open-plan living space with sleek appliances and a front garden with hot tub; the perfect setting for couples or families seeking a retreat in Cornwall.

Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home, settle down on the plush sofa and flick on the TV while your partner pampers you with a romantic meal prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen.

Enjoy this together at the dining table before popping open a bottle of bubbly to toast your relationship and getaway.

As the sky darkens, step outside to delight in a soothing soak in the hot tub while the night sky and its bright stars provide a truly memorable backdrop.

When the yawning begins, head inside and wash off the day’s adventures in the shower room before getting some much-needed rest and rejuvenation in the mezzanine bedroom with a king-size double and a twin.

The Olju lies a short drive from the centre of Ponsanooth where you can stock up on necessities to ease your self-catered stay at the local shop or treat your partner to a special meal at The Stag Hunt Inn which serves delicious pub fare and a variety of drinks.

For those looking to spend a sunny day at the beach, the town of Falmouth can be easily reached by car and is home to Swanpool and Gyllyngvase beach which are idyllic places to sunbathe, splash around in the sea or explore seafront attractions.

Be sure to explore Castle Beach with its rock pools, and close proximity to Pendennis Castle, an impressive fortress with interactive exhibits and impressive vistas across the estuary, you could also immerse yourself in local history at the National Maritime Museum.

Or travel inland to Truro, a vibrant city with a wonderful cathedral and a variety of pubs including The Rising Sun and Central Bar which are great spots for date night.

Choose The Olju in Cornwall as the base of your next romantic retreat.
