Introduction

Once the home of a self-sufficient farmer, now a luxury self-catering retreat for two, this romantic hideaway in Cubert is just the ticket for couples looking to breathe in some fresh country air. A sun-trapped decking, fire pit, and not a soul to disturb but the resident wildlife; busy woodpeckers, hoo-ing owls, and slow-going hedgehogs call this wilderness home. In summer, there's all to play for al fresco, but winter brings with it a snug retreat from blustery winds. Rough-luxe and oh-so feminine, this cabin in the woods will entice all who stay to up sticks from their city slicks and escape to Cornwall forever.

Inside

With French doors opening straight out onto the garden and far-reaching views over the rolling patchwork of Perran common, Juneberry’s king-size bedroom is as soothing as it is stylish. Dark, floor-length florals, deep teal walls and exposed wood create a cocoon of comfort where long lie-ins sipping coffee beneath the weight of the duvet are the most tempting way to spend each and every morning, while the large bathroom is the perfect place to soak away coastal adventures with rainfall shower and bath tub for two.

Outside

Planted with happy pollinators in mind, Juneberry’s garden is secluded and peaceful. With two lawns to stretch out on, a yoga deck positioned perfectly for morning sun salutations and herbs to add zing to gin and tonics or summer salads, spend days here gently soaking up the good life. Come nightfall, toast marshmallows on the fire pit, wrap in blankets and spot shooting stars fly across the heavens before collapsing into the enormous bed, not a sound murmuring beneath the window other than foraging hedgehogs and scurrying hares.

From the owner

“Inspired by a true countryman who once lived on this spot, Juneberry was designed and created with a ´make do and mend´ ethos. Many of the materials used in the cottage are local or reclaimed, brought back to life with a little bit of love sprinkled on top.”

From the owner

This handcrafted wooden cabin is on the site of a caravan, which for 40 years was occupied by a true countryman who lived and worked on farms all his life. He lived frugally, recycled everything, and was the master of make do and mend; an ethos we have adopted in the construction of the cabin.

Local larch has been used to clad the wooden frame and much of the material used in the interior has had a previous life, some of it salvaged from the original caravan. Sheep’s wool insulation has been used throughout the building, solar thermal energy heats the water, and we have managed the whole build with minimal disruption to its peaceful surroundings.

There are many ways to spend a day at Juneberry, but our favourite has to be slow and steady, enjoying the space and local area with ease. After mugs of tea and slabs of toasted sourdough slathered with butter and sweet raspberry jam, pack backpacks with towels and head to the golden sands of Holywell Bay, just two miles down the road.

Remote, affordable, beautiful surroundings. We adored every moment and will certainly be back. Nothing could have made it any better. An exemplary home in a gorgeous location; absolutely wonderful property and owners!

Juneberry is a stunning property surrounded by trees and the sounds of birds; it is the perfect place to relax and get away from the stresses of day-to-day life. The bedroom has a stunningly unique design, allowing you to lie in bed with a cup of tea and immerse yourself in nature. The owners are a joy and are happy to meet you upon arrival or allow you privacy to enjoy the property in peace. I just loved to practice yoga on the decking and the beach is just a 25-minute walk away! Highly recommended!

Juneberry is warm, friendly and perfect for us and our dog. We loved the fact we could walk out in the morning and not return until evening. The local walks and scenery are fantastic and varied. We arrived to a really brilliant hamper of food, of which we ate everything! There was no skimping on thoughtful touches like logs for the fire. The best place we have stayed!

Juneberry is absolutely beautiful! All you can hear is the birds singing; it´s so peaceful and relaxing.

Within the first 10 minutes of arriving at Juneberry, we felt at home. The owners have created a beautiful and inviting space. We came with hopes of celebrating our 5th anniversary with some small luxury; this weekend far exceeded our expectations and allowed for some much-needed relaxation and rejuvenation. We particularly enjoyed sitting by the fire with some lovely local wine and exploring the seaside towns. Juneberry makes for a very relaxing winter getaway and we look forward to experiencing it in the summer!

Juneberry is an amazing, secluded property for the first week of our honeymoon. After planning our wedding during the pandemic, we needed to truly switch off and Juneberry was the perfect location for this. The property facilities are amazing and the nearby beaches are beyond beautiful. The owners have created a wonderful property and we will be highly recommending Juneberry, a huge thank you for everything!

Juneberry is an exceptional home, from the second we arrived, we knew it was going to be exceptional. Such a stunning, interesting cabin, Juneberry is warm and cosy, private and peaceful and in such a wonderful location! Easy walking distance to lovely beaches and woodland paths. It was lovely to meet the owner and we were given a gorgeous ‘welcome trug’. I will always remember my evening Pilates sessions on the verandah amongst the trees. We cannot recommend Juneberry highly enough for those looking for a rustic-chic getaway. Thank you for creating such a beautiful cabin!

The property looked beautiful in the pictures and was even more spectacular when we arrived! Juneberry is private with beautiful surroundings, while being close enough to all the sights and attractions this part of Cornwall has to offer. The owners are lovely and very helpful, plus the welcome hamper and Christmas decorations they provided were a truly lovely surprise. Juneberry is the absolute dream couples retreat.

Thank you so much for a wonderful week, we have had an amazing time staying at Juneberry. Even though the weather was stormy, we still enjoyed exploring the local area, getting soaked and then cosying up by the fire. However, no one enjoyed the woodburner more than our whippet! A beautiful cabin in the most outstanding location. Thank you for the experience.

Thank you so much for everything, we´ve had a lovely long weekend here at Juneberry. Despite storm Dennis paying us a visit, this has been the perfect hideaway to cosy up by the fire!

We spent an enchanting week that flew by gently like the leaves in autumn. The rain of the first days gave way to sunshine and beautiful clouds that painted the sky like a Monet. Such a romantic week in this special place. Juneberry is a nest in the middle of the countryside, furnished with care and its spaces managed in an elegant way. Everything was perfect. Thank you for making our stay unforgettable and we hope to come back soon.

We have had the most amazing and relaxing time whilst staying at your beautiful cabin. This was our first holiday together in four years and it couldn´t have been more perfect! We left feeling relaxed, closer than ever and with a plan to re-decorate our home all inspired by your beautiful place. We cannot thank you enough and we will definitely be back!

Thank you for a wonderful stay. Your cabin and the surrounding area is so beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed many long walks before sleeping like babies in the incredibly comfy bed. We loved the indoor fireplace and appreciated the practicality of everything throughout!

We enjoyed our stay at Juneberry very much. The cabin is lovely it provided just the right level of quirkiness, comfort and space for our taste. The cabin is secluded and private with lovely walks straight from the door into the surrounding countryside and to the beaches. We were pleasantly surprised by the contents of the welcome hamper and liked that there was enough kindling and logs provided for the whole stay! Well done for providing such a lovely place for others to enjoy.

We enjoyed our stay very much! We love how the cabin is decorated, and the garden is very enjoyable to spend time in - it is all very cosy and comfortable. It was a lovely touch that there was plenty of wood laid in the burner and fire pit, plus the location is good for lots of amazing beaches, walks and drives. We would be more than happy to stay again!

The thing that makes Juneberry so special is the privacy it offers. We were specifically looking for something in Cornwall, but apart from that, privacy was the most special part. Apart from a couple of walkers, we didn’t see a soul. It was very special for us to feel like we were the only people on earth during our honeymoon. Everything in the house was pristine and perfectly arranged. We loved it!

The property is perfect. It is private, a home from home and the owners are so very welcoming. I don’t think anything further could possibly be added to Juneberry, as it is wonderful just as it is! Thank you.

We have had an incredibly relaxing stay at Juneberry. We especially appreciated the hamper full of fresh goodies, and we took the walk through rolling pastures to Holywell Bay on more than one occasion. Quite a lot of thought has gone into the interior design and overall comfort at Juneberry, the owners were the most gracious hosts on arrival and departure. It is a gem of a find and the perfect introduction to Cornwall!

What a wonderful stay we´ve had at Juneberry. Such a beautiful place in a stunning location, just what we needed to recharge the batteries and find ourselves again! We have been inspired by our stay here. Thank you for creating such a special place and for your warm hospitality.

We have loved every minute. This has been one of the most relaxing and tranquil holidays we have had. From the dawn chorus to the owls calling at dark, each day here has been perfect. The personal welcome from the owners was very much appreciated as was our welcome hamper. If you like walking, there is a path through fields that leads to Holywell, from there you have access to the lovely coastal path. We would also recommend the Smugglers Den for food which is just a 5 minute walk! Thank you very much.
