Why stay here
8.7Forty-five cabins sit in a wooded Cornish valley beside an ancient millpond, with forest trails and roe deer on the doorstep. Some cabins overlook the water; others are tucked among the trees.
Deerpark earns its place through the setting: a wooded valley, an ancient millpond and cabins surrounded by working forest give the stay a stronger connection to the landscape than a conventional cabin park. The nearby coast, Looe and Polperro, Golitha Falls and Bodmin Moor make it a useful base for exploring a wider slice of Cornwall.
