Inside
Lowartha’s interiors are thoughtfully arranged across a striking reverse-living layout, designed to elevate guests into the surrounding treetops. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen space is rich in texture and tone, blending timber, stone and copper accents with deep greens and warm neutrals to create a cocooning atmosphere throughout the seasons. A contemporary wood-burning stove anchors the sitting area, paired with plush seating and woodland views framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. The kitchen is sleek yet understated, fully equipped for relaxed dining, with a breakfast bar and an intimate table for two positioned beside the windows. Entertainment is seamlessly integrated with a Smart TV, Sky Q and Bluetooth speakers. Below, the bedroom unfolds as a private retreat, featuring a super-king bed, full-height glazing and a sculptural copper bathtub set against stone walls, creating a spa-like space to unwind. A beautifully finished ensuite with walk-in rainfall shower completes the experience.

Outside
Set within approximately two acres of private woodland garden, Lowartha’s outdoor space feels wonderfully secluded and immersive. A meandering stream, pond and layered planting create a tranquil, almost storybook setting that invites quiet exploration. Directly outside the bedroom, a private patio offers a peaceful spot for morning coffee or evening drinks, while deeper within the garden, a discreetly positioned hot tub is nestled among the trees for secluded soaks beneath the canopy.
Additional seating, loungers and a barbecue provide ample space for long and elaxed summer days, with birdsong and rustling leaves forming the soundtrack to your stay. As dusk settles, soft light filters through the trees, creating an intimate atmosphere that feels entirely removed from the outside world. It is a setting designed for slowing down, reconnecting with nature and enjoying uninterrupted time in complete privacy
Positioned between the villages of Constantine and Gweek, Lowartha is ideally placed for discovering both Cornwall’s countryside and coastline. The surrounding area is dotted with welcoming country pubs, waterside inns and independent eateries, while the nearby Helford River offers opportunities for boat trips, sailing and peaceful riverside walks.
Coastal adventures await within easy reach, from sheltered coves and turquoise bays to dramatic clifftop paths and fishing villages shaped by the sea. For food lovers, nearby harbours and market towns are home to well-regarded restaurants showcasing local seafood and seasonal Cornish produce.
Quiet lanes and coastal roads make for beautiful drives, leading to hidden beaches, garden estates and traditional villages steeped in Cornish character. On calmer days, the Helford estuary invites paddleboarding, kayaking and gentle exploration along its wooded banks. The area is also rich in walking trails, whether winding through ancient woodland, following the river’s edge or climbing towards panoramic coastal viewpoints. Returning to Lowartha after a day out, guests can retreat once more into the stillness of the trees, where evenings are best spent unwinding beneath open skies.
