One of Corn-
wall's very first yurt sites, and still hard to beat. There are three to choose from - Ash
Field, Green Man and Oak Wood - all in truly glorious wooded settings, and equipped
with proper beds, wood-burning stoves, candle lanterns, barbecues and chillboxes. Each
has its own 'ig-loo' and solar shower.
Old Chapel House

; St Mabyn; s £55-65, d £75-110; )
Run by Des and
Ginny Weston, who were formerly in charge of the lovely St Kew Inn, this spanking new
little B&B near the village of St Mabyn has been beautifully refurbished. As its name sug-
gests, it's in a converted chapel and has original stained glass in situ. There are only three
rooms: top of the heap is Room 1, which still has its original cruck beams and romantic
attic vibe.

Old Inn

;
St Breward; mains £10-16)
The main claim to fame
of this village pub is that it's the highest in Cornwall (at around 720ft), and supposedly
has a heritage that dates back to the 11th century, when it was a hostelry frequented by
local monks. These days it's mostly a village hangout: the grub's decent, the welcome's
warm, and there are fires to snuggle by.
