right balance of cosy hidden corners
mixed with contemporary Scandinavian
design to suit your personal relaxation
requirements.
If you’re looking for something with
rustic charm, the Hillside Huts offer
a truly private experience. Complete
with bedroom, lounge area and ensuite
bathroom, these quaint dwellings offer
a unique, secluded stay where you can
bathe in outdoor hot tubs, watch the
sunset in complete seclusions and in
one of them (Boaty McBoatface) you
can even row across your own lake to a

private island and soak up the stillness
of this rural idyll.
Perhaps the true embodiment of The
Fish’s youthful and adventurous ethos
is a stay at one of its Treehouses, a
50 sq m space that presents an alter-
native to the traditional hotel getaway.
Each Treehouse is set on stilts in its own
private woodland setting - and inside
the Treehouse you’ll feel at home with
an open-plan design, where modern
interiors meets natural materials while
outside you can dine with a view under
a towering oak tree - discovering your
inner child has never been so stylish.
But take note, The Fish is also home to
Hook, a vision of two-Michelin starred
chef Martin Burge. It’s menu includes
signature dishes such as Porthilly rock
oysters, poached blue chip salmon,
whole baked seabass and lobster ther-
midor, which can happily be enjoyed
on the terrace for alfresco dining in the
summer months.
From cosy traditional rooms or grown-
up treehouses to woodland walks, inti-
mate film screenings and fine dining
there is plenty to explore at The Fish.
This is a rural retreat that is easy on the
eye and soothing for the soul.
