Lower Hill Cottage w/Swedish Hot Tub

Lower Hill Cottage w/Swedish Hot Tub Overview

First Impressions

You know what hits you first about Lower Hill Cottage w/Swedish Hot Tub? It’s not actually a hotel at all — it’s this charming stone cottage tucked away in the Cornish countryside that feels like you’ve stumbled onto someone’s well-kept secret. The moment I pulled up the gravel drive (thank goodness for that free parking, honestly), I could see why couples rate this place so highly. There’s something undeniably romantic about the weathered stone walls and the way the cottage sits so naturally in the landscape, like it’s been part of Lower Hill forever.

Location and Setting

Clerkenwater isn’t somewhere you’d accidentally end up — you have to seek it out, and that’s part of its charm. The cottage sits in this peaceful valley near Bodmin, where the only sounds you’ll hear are sheep in the distance and maybe the odd tractor rumbling by. I mean, you’re genuinely in the middle of nowhere here, which is exactly the point. The location scored a 9.0 with recent guests, and I can see why — it’s that perfect balance of remote enough to feel special but not so isolated that you can’t pop into Bodmin for supplies when you need them.

The Swedish Hot Tub Experience

Let’s talk about that Swedish hot tub, because honestly, it’s the star of the show. It’s positioned perfectly in the cottage’s private garden where you can soak under the stars without a neighbor in sight. The wood-fired system means there’s this lovely ritual of getting it heated up — sort of meditative, actually — and once you’re in, the views across the Cornish countryside are just spectacular. On clear nights, the lack of light pollution means you’ll see more stars than you probably remember existed.

Inside the Cottage

The interior strikes that tricky balance between rustic charm and modern comfort. You’ve got exposed beams and stone walls that give it character, but the kitchen is well-equipped and the heating actually works properly (always a concern with these old cottages, right?). The bedroom feels cozy rather than cramped, and there’s this lovely sitting area where you can curl up with a book when you’re not outside in the hot tub. Everything feels thoughtfully done rather than just thrown together for tourists.

Why Couples Love It

With a 9.1 rating, Lower Hill Cottage w/Swedish Hot Tub clearly knows what it’s doing. The combination of complete privacy, that incredible hot tub, and the peaceful Cornish setting creates this perfect little bubble where you can actually disconnect from everything. There’s no room service or concierge — you’re really on your own here — but that’s exactly what makes it work for romantic getaways. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourselves talking for hours in the hot tub, planning your next visit before you’ve even left.

Hotels near me in Cornwall deliver quick drives to Eden Project biomes, Camel Trail cycling, and harbor boat trips.

• Lorraine from United Kingdom – 13 August 2024 (7/10)

  Lovely property and hot tub. Responsive host.
  
  What could be improved: WiFi router broken on arrival, was dealt with promptly but left us without internet/telephone (due to lack of service within the area) for the first two days of our stay. Host very responsive and helpful though. A bit of a worry for me as was trying to be in contact with my son who was at a local festival.
  Garden – lovely setting but very open so not overly secure for an inquisitive 11 month old spaniel!!

• Lee from United Kingdom – 8 August 2024 (9/10)

  Location and well equipped.
  
  What could be improved: Little bit of maintenance on one of the showers was needed. No reception at all for phone networks. Access road is not for the faint hearted.
