About Dolly

Dolly is a genuine 1950s Airstream caravan in St Kew, Cornwall. This isn't your standard holiday let - it's a totally private 170-acre escape with lakes and fields all to yourself. Dolly has been carefully restored to her original glory, keeping authentic touches that'll make you feel like you've stepped back in time.

The setting is bloody brilliant. Four lakes stretch out before you with zero light pollution making the night skies spectacular. Wildlife wanders freely across the grounds.

The local St Kew pub serves great food (bit pricey but worth it) and there's a farm shop nearby for the best cream tea in Cornwall.

The accommodation features original gas hobs, a dining table that converts to a small double bed and a compact shower room with flushing toilet. There's a TV in the dining area and a welcome pack awaits your arrival. Mobile signal is variable - perfect excuse to ignore the in-laws.

Dolly Reviews

James
This isn’t a traditional cottage but a stunning 1950s Air Stream caravanand honestly, it’s brilliant. The setting is perfect-170 acres with four lakes and open fields, ideal for peace and wildlife. Our dogs adored it just as much as we did. If you’re after tranquillity and nature, this place is a real gem!
James
When we first arrived, there were a couple of hiccups, but the owner and his team quickly sorted everything out and were really attentive to what we needed. The setting is genuinely lovely - so peacefuland the absence of bright lights meant we could enjoy some truly spectacular star gazing at night. We loved seeing the wildlife around; it added a special touch to our stay. The hot tub and the sense of seclusion were just what we needed to unwind from our stressful jobs. The local pub nearby was a bit on the pricey side, but the food was worth it. We also popped into St Kew farm shop, which surprisingly looks like part of the golf club, but the cream tea was absolutely deliciousand it’s dog friendly too, which is a bonus. Overall, a fantastic holiday and a warm welcome. Thanks a lot!
Emma
We stayed for three nights in Dolly and honestly, it was lovely. The hosts are really friendly and made us feel right at home. The hot tub under the starry sky was unforgettable-so peaceful without any light pollution. Usually, we’d have music on, but the sounds of wildlife and the quiet countryside were just perfect. The dogs had a great time too. Definitely a relaxing getaway, thank you so much x
Emma
