Located in the heart of the old town this delightful cottage is full of
character and charm. Church Lane is a quiet spot but only a minutes walk
from the harbour and restaurants which makes this cottage an ideal retreat
at any time of the year. The beams, slate floor, nooks and crannies and
steep winding stairs contribute to its appeal but beware - the ultra steep
stairs to the bathroom are an adventure in themselves! Padstow is
similarly full of quirky character with beautiful unspoilt harbour and a
maze of picturesque narrow streets. Within easy striking distance are a
number of gorgeous sandy beaches great for families or surfing and coastal
footpaths with outstanding views. The Eden Project is within a half hour
drive and Tate St Ives is 1hr away.
