The Maltsters,
Little Petherick, nr Padstow (P224)

Sleeps 6  *  Pets Welcome

AVAILABLE FOR 2009

Full of character this 17^th century cottage (once part of the village pub) is handily located on the A389 between Padstow (only 2 miles) and the market town of Wadebridge (5 miles), in the pretty village of Little Petherick, just opposite the 12^th century church.  The cottage’s character is enhanced by beams, open fires, slate floors and stone walls and finishing touches by the owners (who live in the studio behind) which create a truly charming and cosy home from home.  The Maltsters has a sweet cottage garden to the front with a grape vine growing over the kitchen door and an interesting and quirky garden to the rear which leads up to a larger area at the top with lovely views over the wooded valley.  The cottage is very handy for the pretty and historic town of Padstow with its delightful pubs, restaurants, galleries and shops and the unspoilt harbour - still used by the local thriving fleet of inshore fishing vessels who mainly fish for lobsters and crabs.  Just a short step or two from your front door is the Saints Way – an ancient trail which dates back over 1,500 years – now a great favourite with walkers providing fantastic views along the river estuary and is also rich in wildlife.  Families will delight in the stunning beaches all within 3 - 5 miles and gourmets have a real treat in store in Padstow, only a couple of miles away, home to Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant, and also a number of other award winning outlets from restaurants to pasty shops.  There is a pub just half a mile away at St Issey.
