FAQs

Question 2

What clothing and footwear to pack

We always recommend bringing lots of warm, waterproof clothing that dries easily, plus waterproof footwear. Bring warm layers for the day and especially for night, as it can get chilly – multiple pairs of warm socks are a must.

Wellies or walking boots are absolutely essential. We would recommend bringing a pair of slippers and/or thick socks to wear in your Koyt, as we kindly ask that you do not wear outdoor shoes inside.

Question 3

Phone supply and phone chargers

There is a charging station in The Barns for electronic devices if necessary. Unfortunately, we cannot be held responsible for any personal items left unattended. We would recommend a digital detox and leaving your phone switched off!

Question 4

Directions

The easiest way to find us is via the Google Maps link for Cabilla Cornwall here or on What3words with ‘romantics.galaxy.budget’. We recommend that you drive to us so you can explore the local area more easily. Plug PL30 4DW into your sat nav and follow the signs – you’ll find us. Or to reach us by train, our nearest station is Bodmin Parkway, where you can arrange for a taxi to bring you here.

Question 15

Pets

Sadly we cannot accommodate dogs or other pets due to the nature of the ecological restoration we are trying to achieve and livestock on the farm.

Question 16

Smoking and alcohol

We ask that guests refrain from smoking inside Koyts, communal indoor areas or anywhere that may disturb and hinder the stay of others. We also respectfully ask guests to dispose of cigarette stubs appropriately, so as not to affect our woodland. We don’t have a license to sell alcohol at the moment, but you are welcome to bring your own to drink on site in moderation. We retain the right to ask you to stop drinking if inappropriate behaviour occurs.
