The insect hotel’s main structure was designed and created over several weeks, including over the Heligan Wild weekend in May 2013.

          The hotel is now an ongoing project of the Heligan estate team. Sited on the ‘georgian ride’, it’s in a perfect position to provide morning sun and protection for insects. And as a beautiful place to sit and admire the view in a peaceful spot under the beech trees.

        The hotel was created using timber and materials from the estate and sculpted in an aesthetically pleasing organic form to provide shelter and an inviting space. The back of the structure is covered with soil to provide further insulation, protection and habitats for flora and fauna.
