Property information

Sally Saracen is a truly unique place to stay. Please note this is an Armoured Personel Carrier with a comfy mattress inside. (This is NOT a luxury garden room. Sally Saracen was built in 1953, so she smells like a tank, not like a bowl of Pot Pourri) We class this as glamping. There is a private garden with chairs and a hammock to relax in. We also provide a BBQ area and a firepit . The kitchen is a well equipped field kitchen with gas hob, fridge, microwave, kettle & toaster. The shower & toilet are 35 metres away. The sunrises are simply stunning & it is a wonderful place to relax & enjoy the beautiful Cornish countryside. Please look at the photographs so you know exactly the type of accommodation you are booking. Thankyou.
