This historic stone cottage is set in beautiful countryside and has tranquil rural views. Within easy reach of sandy beaches, scenic cycling trails and popular coastal towns, it’s an inviting Cornish getaway that’s just perfect for a small family.

Set over three storeys connected by a spiral staircase, the property has an intriguing design, with a double bedroom – which has lovely rural views – and a family shower room situated on the ground floor. Making the most of yet more gorgeous views, the open-plan living space is on the first floor. This inviting room includes a kitchen with a microwave, a dining table for four and a selection of seating. Switch on the wood burner-effect electric fire if you’re feeling chilly, and indulge in an evening of your favourite shows on the Smart TV. Finally, the top storey features a twin room with beds tucked under the sloping ceilings, benefiting from an en-suite WC for convenience. A 5’ high doorway makes this a perfect bedroom for little ones. For anyone bringing bikes or sports equipment, there’s a secure store on the other side of the lane to the cottage, and when you feel like a meal in the fresh air you can take advantage of the BBQ and picnic table on the small lawn to the side of the cottage.

This idyllic escape is just 400 metres along a country lane to the Camel Trail, taking you on foot or by bike to Padstow, 2.5 miles, or Wadebridge, 4 miles. Enjoy stunning views along the route, and don’t miss fresh fish and chips in either town, plus a visit to the shops and galleries.

Trailside is a cosy cottage sleeping 4 just off the camel trail. Its in a great location for a 2 mile stroll or bike ride into Padstow, or a longer trek in the other direction to Wadebridge. A nice touch was to be left some cornish team, coffee and buscuits. The cottage has a spiral stair case and you definitely have to mind your head wheRead moren entering the hobbit sized door into the loft bedroom. If you are an adult, using the upstairs toilet standing up is challenging due to the low ceiling. Even with good lighting and reminders be prepared to bump your head :) So you will need to keep a close eye on small children and I would not recommend it for anyone less mobile. Generally its well kitted out with a respectable Kitchen and downstairs bathroom but some of the fixtures and fittings are a bit tired. Lack of tumble dryer is probably less of an issue in summer months, but dont forget to bring your own hair dryer as the cottage does not provide one for your use. If you want to go off grid its a good option as the internet is 1.3mbps making browsing the web difficult if not impossible. You cant stream anything. Again, with children no internet is a problem. (I think the owner is improving this) Hide
