Driving into Kudhva gave me instant nostalgia of when I used to arrive at my favourite Summer camp. The fresh air, open terrain, and feeling of excitement of the unknown. Kudhva is a unique property of architectural hideouts, tree tents, and magical cabin located in Northern Cornwall, created by Louise Middleton.
After pulling up to the property, my friends and I sat down with Louise in the rustic, chic communal space, and asked about her journey of creating Kudhva. I love seeing someone have an idea, unlike anything that currently exists, and bring it to life with imagination and pure determination. I knew that Louise built something that was straight from her heart, and I was totally eager to explore.
Kudvha is one of the most expansive, magical places I’ve been to. It’s set in a 45 acre quarry that felt like went on forever, plus it overlooks the sea. Just a few hours outside of London, it makes for the perfect weekend getaway.
Friends + Nature = a good time.
Kudhva is Cornish for ‘hide out.’ Being out in nature with limited cell service made for the perfect spot to relax, get present, and enjoy quality time with good friends. We sipped wine, shared stories, and explored the property. We stayed in Kudhva 4 our first night there, and it was unlike anything I had experienced before. The cosy touches and artisan magazines inside made it feel like home.

The second night we were lucky enough to check out the cabin in the back of the property (near the waterfall!). The cabin was a dream come true. If my Pinterest page saw this, it would pin it itself. It sleeps 6, and so we definitely had a lot of space for activities. Aside from the pure joy of being out in nature, Kudhva offers a campfire kit, wooden hot tub, and if you continue to walk past the cabin, there is an epic waterfall/pontoon spot.
Cabin Vibes
Kudhva made me feel present again, connecting with nature and myself. I loved the positive vibes that Kudhva brings and the people it attracts. Every person/couple we met were kind and eager to get outdoors and explore. There are only 4 kudvhas (plus the cabin and tree tents) and so it really does feel like an intimate, rustic meets boutique experience.
