What client's are saying about our holiday let:
August 2025
If I could, I’d give it 6 stars! 🌟
This is truly one of the most beautiful cabins we’ve ever stayed in. The fenced garden is amazing—perfect if you’re traveling with a dog or just want some extra privacy. There are so many lovely decorative touches throughout the place—it feels warm, cozy, and full of charm.
The shower was spacious, with great water pressure and plenty of hot water.
There’s even firewood and charcoal available for barbecuing, which made our stay even more special.
Everything was just absolutely fantastic. We would love to come back again—highly recommended!

Went Cornwall for few days to relax and visit the gardens and seaside. We got advice and guidance about the places from the first moment we meet Emma. She is such a lovely person. Our dog Bruno got instantly attached to her. The place was like a page in a magical story book. We had everything we needed. It was private and cozy. We wished we stayed longer. Most likely we gonna go again. Thank you.

The shepherd's hut was a dream little home for our holiday in Cornwall. It's in such a great location and easy to get to providing us with a private little spot to relax infront fire pit after a long day out.
The Shepherd's hut was pristine and had everything we could need for our week away.

Beautiful Accommodation!
Emma is really lovely and was responsive to all messages in a timely manner.
The hut was absolutely lovely with all the little details thought out - games, bbq, spare wellies, garden furniture, blankets.
Perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life, surrounded by nature and was so peaceful.
Not far from local shops and Newquay, perfect location for us!
Thank you so much Emma!!

Myself and my partner spent 2 nights here and we couldn’t have asked for anything more from Emma. From the initial booking all the way to the check out Emma was incredibly attentive. The enclosed private surroundings were perfect for our little pup to run around in with added festoon lights this added the perfect set up for a proposal. It was the perfect place to get engaged. Added surprise was that the hut and garden was a LOT bigger than expected!

My wife and I stayed at New Dawn ahead of the arrival of our first child, and it was exactly what we needed! We arrived to a lovely welcome gift of a local cider, a soft drink for my pregnant wife and a choice of biscuits. The hut is so cosy yet spacious and has everything you could need. The surrounding area is really peaceful, with nothing but the sounds of the local wildlife. We also brought our 3 year old dog along who loved exploring the secure garden. We could let him out on his own safe in the knowledge that he couldn’t escape or get up to mischief! The location is ideal, with Newquay only about a 20 minute drive away and local amenities nearby too. Couldn’t recommend enough and we’d love to be back!

We have stayed in several shepherd style huts and I can happily say that this has been our favourite by far! The secure garden is stunning and we especially loved how dog friendly it is. The hut itself is really spacious with plenty of storage to store your belongings. Everywhere was spotless and has everything you need. The shower was great! Great location for beaches and exploring. Emma was super friendly. Would highly recommend :)

This was our second stay and it was just as wonderful as the first! The place was spotless, cosy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The area is very quiet, which made it even more peaceful, and we especially loved how close it is to Goss Moor Nature Reserve — the perfect spot for a walk, with or without a dog. We brought our dog along and really appreciated how secure the garden is. We had such a lovely time and are already hoping to come back again soon. Highly recommend!

I booked this little get away for my husbands birthday. We have busy work lives so our stays are always about getting away from everything and enjoying peace and quiet, where we can bring the dogs too.
Emma’s place was so cute and just what we needed for some down time!
The secure garden is perfect for the dogs, not once did I have to worry they could get out. The fire pit was such a nice touch and we would have loved to use it had the wind not been quite so strong during our stay! But this would be so lovely sat outside of an evening.
The area itself is very quiet with Goss Moor just around the corner so great for walking with your dogs! Ours loved exploring!
The place itself was spotlessly clean and the bed super comfortable.
There is a gas hob and microwave oven, you have a boiler so lots of nice hot water with a great shower too.
I would definitely return again, Emma was really helpful answering any questions we had promptly!
Thanks so much x

Wow! What a fabulous place to stay. An amazing secluded and quiet location. 'New Dawn' is one of the best ... actually THE best hut we have ever stayed in. The decor is perfect, giving a tranquil atmosphere. Everything we needed was available and the homely touches on arrival was so lovely. The secure garden for Winnie, our 'Huskador' (Husky X Lab) was just perfect and she had so much fun just exploring every inch of the garden. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and will take pleasure recommending 'New Dawn' to everyone. Thank you xx

Wow, what can I say ~ New Dawn Shepherds Hut & Location everything & even more then we could have asked for. Alongside the most idyllic, pup friendly, home from home retreat, Emma was an exceptional host. So lovely, friendly and helpful. New Dawn was so incredibly well thought out, from the little touches, the cider & biscuits on arrival, even gravy bones for our pooch! Down to all facilities and amenities. Spotlessly clean, a bed like a cloud & a beautiful garden to make memories & let your dog run free. we made full use of the bbq / fire pit with everything we needed on site. I am fussy! And I don't often write reviews but I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Emma's lovely shepherd's hut to anyone. Immaculate, roomy, great shower & everything you should need. We were incredibly sad to leave this morning and cannot wait to return. Thankyou Emma! x

We had an absolutely wonderful 9-night stay at this beautiful hut in Cornwall! The property was not only stunning but also perfect for our dog Dobby, who loved the freedom to run around the secure, fenced garden without any worries. The hut was spotless, with fresh bedding and towels provided, which made everything feel extra comfortable. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches like the small bottle of washing-up liquid and a sponge—everything was so well-equipped. The internet worked perfectly, and we were able to connect our phones to Netflix on the TV, which was a great bonus for cozy evenings. Being within walking distance of Goss Moor National Nature Reserve was fantastic, and we loved walking our dog there daily. We especially enjoyed relaxing by the fire pit—it made the stay even more magical. We wish we had booked for longer! Thank you for providing such a lovely, peaceful retreat—we can’t wait to return.

Well what an absolute gem of a place Emma has! If you’re thinking about it - book it, it’s the best Airbnb we’ve stayed in with our dog and toddler. The enclosed garden makes it super safe for them to run around in, it’s so peaceful at night we enjoyed sitting outside looking at the stars with the fire pit lit - just bliss 🔥 The hut itself is much more spacious than the photos show (our travel cot fit in no problem with space around it) and the bed is ginormous! It felt so homely and the welcome cakes were such a lovely treat! Emma had our Jasper for the day so we could go out too - such a bonus. Dog owners get booking 😊 and if you’re looking for an activity do the camel trail 🚲

An absolutely gorgeous little place. The shepherds hut was lovely with everything we needed plus extra for our stay. It's small but that's part of it's charm. The bed was very comfortable, books, games there to use plus the internet and TV. I shared with my 11 year old daughter and 8 month labrador, and it was perfect for us!
Location is brilliant being central for exploring both coasts or just going for country walks. The outside space was brilliant! Totally privately fenced in and very large beautiful dog, very secure garden with table, chairs, loungers, fire pit, giant jenga and even spare wellies if needed.
Having the doggy day care next door was brilliant as we booked our 8 month old pup in for a few dog free days. Having never left her before I was worried how she would cope but she had an absolute whale of a time and Emma (the owner) is so friendly and good with the dogs and very helpful. My dog even sat waiting by the side entrance to the day care hoping to go back on the day we were leaving! Made for such a relaxing holiday, knowing she was being well cared for and enjoying herself (plenty of pics sent) while we could explore dog free options and collect her for evening cuddles once back at the hut.
Very private, quiet and not overlooked. The milk, tea and coffee and 2 pieces of cake were most welcome after our long drive there also, many many thanks for a lovely stay.
