Agnes is perfect in every way! The tranquillity and comfort is testament to the owners’ hard work over many years and the space they’ve created is utterly magical. We were very lucky with the weather and it was perfect all weekend, but even in the rain, I imagine Agnes would be a little oasis of warmth and comfort. Thank you, for letting us enjoy a little slice of heaven 10/07/2020 Claire
We had a lovely 4 night stay here. Everything was lovely, Marie was an excellent host and we had everything we needed. The veg on site was delicious! Oh and the jams! 10/10 stay. We would definitely go back

We had a wonderful relaxing time. We really loved the peace and quiet, hearing the owls calling to each other at night, and being outside in the stillness of the morning as the world woke around us. We were able to get to the coast really easily, it was possible to walk there but we drove so we could walk further along the coast path, but we did walk to the local pub which was really welcoming. Marie mad us feel really welcome, introduced us to her dogs, showed us around their site answering all our gardening questions and helped us get some of the lovely cakes she provided to take home for our friends. We are already wondering when we can return!

Idyllic, quiet, private, cosy, immaculately clean, owners lovely and helpful but gave us our desperately needed solitude.

The Tree of Life Horsebox is packaged transcendence. Nature literally audibly and visually speaks volumes here....The peace is deafening. A great place to stay to de-frag, re-synch, and recharge away from the rat-race. If you are intentionally looking to sever / detach / disconnect from modern day living you will get an authentic taster at the horse box. Don't be put off by the idea of an earth/composting toilet - there is no smell at all - and you will never get such a great view when you're back at home. The shower room is fabulous too. The horse box is an experience of living with nature outside in, without sacrificing modern conveniences such as; clean towels, hot running water, fridge unit, gas stove and oven, wood burner (with as many logs as you need free of charge), pots, pans, tea and coffee, cutlery, crockery, comfy bed etc. And the hosts are second to none. The location was perfect for us....On your doorstep are plentiful walks, beaches, cafes, pubs, and even the city of Truro (with a generous amount of shops). The delights of St. Ives only 30 mins away too. Dear Agnes (the horse box) - we love you!

We have just spent 4 nights here. A wonderfully quirky experience. Marie and Sylvia are fab hostesses. Perfect mix of friendliness but respectful of privacy. Would thoroughly recommend. Faultless

Writing this on our last night of our stay in Agnes and feeling very sad to be leaving in the morning, we have had the most perfect few days and could not recommend here more highly! The whole place is perfect! So peaceful, so clean, so lovely on every level - we are telling every one we meet about it xx Marie and Sylvie are amazing hosts and couldn’t do enough for us! Thank you so much - we will be back!!! xxx

Peaceful, relaxed, family break away from busy life. It gave us the chance to slow down and connect with nature.

Idyllic. Amongst a tranquil and very private garden nestles Agnes. She was perfect, everything I had hoped for and more. Everything supplied for a relaxing holiday away from day to day stresses. Very welcoming hosts who are on hand if you need them but out of sight so you don't feel overlooked. My favourite holiday to date. So close to all that Cornwall has to offer, quaint Cornish villages, beautiful beaches and breath-taking coastal walks.

An anniversary break which was truly relaxing and as 'get away from it all' as we had hoped for. Couldn't fault the horse box, the setting, the quality of the accommodation nor the welcome we received. It was all perfect and the generosity of the owners was brilliant and kind.

Absolutely loved our stay, the Horsebox is just as it is described. Even the weather could not dampen our stay, we simply lit the log burner, dozed and read and recharged our batteries. We loved everything the hosts had done with this little bit of Heaven. You are in your own lovely sun (when it did come out) dappled garden among the trees, with not another person or building in sight. We loved the compost loo and kitchen areas. Every little detail is so well designed and built with love. I couldnt stop touching the wooden door handles and clothes hangers, driving my husband potty with my oohs and ahhs! The whole place is so clean and fresh and we loved cooking outdoors, showering in the cosy wash house, and using a flash light to scare each other at night on the final meander to the loo. We were given a fantastic trug of fresh vegetables, eggs and fruit from our hosts. They clearly have a love for their home and have made this a fantastic welcoming place. Got back home so rested.

The tree of life horse box was just what we were looking for, tranquillity, private, intimacy and such shabby chic. We went for our anniversary after a lovely C&S experience for our first anniversary. The horse box was beautifully decorated and had all the bits and pieces you need for a short break. The ladies who own the horse box were very welcoming and generous with their organic fresh fruit and vegetables.

The Tree of Life Horsebox was a truly wondrous escape. It's beautifully nestled amongst trees & foliage on the edge of a hay field, creating a sense of space whilst also maintaining peaceful, intimate surrounds. Everything has been thoughtfully pieced together, and Marie & Sylvia's attention to detail coupled with their enthusiasm & love of what they do shines through. They were friendly, welcoming hosts, very respectful of giving you privacy & space but who were on hand should you need. We thought they'd struck that balance really well. It's a place to enjoy nature, to unwind & be, to sit by candlelight & log fire and quietly contemplate..... We slept with the door open with view of the stars listening to the gentle breeze, and awoke to birdsong and sunlight filtering through the trees. Padded out barefoot, felt the cool morning dew beneath our toes and sat outside to eat a truly scrumptious breakfast made from the complimentary organic fruit & veggie box - if ever there was a zipperdee doo dah moment, this was it! It's an idyllic, romantic retreat. We highly recommend.

Hosts very welcoming and friendly. Horsebox very clean and tidy with everything we needed (and things I didn't even know I would need - hot water bottle!). Very peaceful and relaxing environment. Highly recommend.

What a wonderful place. A slice of heaven. Peaceful, beautiful, a sanctuary away from the busy world. The horse box is so cosy and charming. I was impressed with how beautifully it is maintained and felt at home as soon as we arrived. Cant wait to visit again.
