Tinker - a magical underground hideaway for two in Bude, Cornwall
Hidden in the rolling hills just outside Bude, Cornwall, Tinker is not your typical holiday cottage – it’s a storybook escape built for dreamers and romantics seeking something truly one-of-a-kind.
This enchanting luxury self-catering hideaway for two brings together a pair of showman’s wagons and a 17th-century underground bothy, all connected by a secret passageway. With your own private hot tub, a wildflower meadow, and a cast iron slipper bath that opens out onto sweeping countryside views.
Perfect for honeymoons, romantic retreats in Cornwall, and anyone craving a magical escape, Tinker wraps you in whimsical comfort from the moment you arrive.
Step inside Tinker, where magic meets luxury.
Walk through the front door into the underground bothy, and you’ll find an open-plan kitchen and living space filled with personality – from hand-painted murals to reclaimed furniture and a Jacobean-era refectory table turned into a rustic worktop. The kitchen is fully equipped for cosy evenings in, and there’s a welcome hamper of local nibbles waiting when you arrive.
Warm and inviting all year round, Tinker is heated throughout and also features a wood-burning stove nestled in an original inglenook fireplace – perfect for curling up after a windswept walk along the Cornish coast.
