The Hyde is special. Every inch of the treehouse, from the shell to the interiors, is masterfully crafted by hand. Hidden away in dense woodland far from the world, it is a perfect retreat for a couple or solo traveller. It isn’t just a treehouse or a cabin, but an experience; an invitation to escape. From the cosy Bohemian interiors to the luxurious appliances and linens (think Heston Blumental barbecue, Tielle Loves Luxury towels, and Bose sound system), there is plenty to love. Step outside after breakfast on the glass covered deck, spend the day swinging on the hammocks, listening to birdsong, or sunbathing on the wicker loungers in the private garden. Revel in the coastal walks across the nearby beach at Porthtowan until you reach the cliffs with St Ives in one direction and St Agnes in the other. Cycle around the villages across the UNESCO World Heritage Site on which our property is located. If you’re a surfer, or would be surfer, we own the renowned Tris Surf Shop in Porthtowan and can arrange private lessons and all the kit.
Phillippa and Johnny are both well-travelled having spent many years in far-flung places. As a result, when they built The Hyde, they knew what their guests would want; somewhere beautiful to relax, undisturbed. Phillipa is a writer and Johnny lifelong surfer and owner of infamous Tris Surf Shop. They live on-site and are always happy to meet their guests.
Built on a UNESCO world heritage site in the heart of historic mining country complete with views of a castellated engine house, The Hyde is one of the very few properties in this unique area. You can take a stroll down to the Beach Café in Porthtowan for their special full breakfasts, enjoy a meal at the Blue Bar, or The Unicorn in Porthtowan, watching the sunset, visit the Eden Project just 45 mins away, or the Tate Gallery in St Ives, surf the beaches on both the north and south coast and walk in the wooded valley or along the cliffs.
