This rural retreat in North Cornwall enjoys relaxing countryside views, and is also just 3 miles from the coast. The pretty village of St Merryn is 2 miles away, and it’s just 5.5 miles to Padstow. Sleeping six guests (four adults and two children), the cottage is ideal for families and friends looking to embrace the beaches and coastal walks along this magnificent stretch of coastline. The property is perfectly placed for exploring the famous ‘Seven Bays’ around St Merryn, including Treyarnon Bay (3 miles) and Harlyn Bay (3.5 miles).

The single-storey traditional cottage beautifully combines original features, such as exposed beams and stonework, with contemporary furniture and fresh, coastal-themed interiors. The social hub of the house is an open-plan lounge/diner, where you relax after a day of adventure, watching the Smart TV and sharing mealtimes together. An open archway leads through to the contemporary kitchen, where you’ll find everything needed to cater for the group. The property has three inviting bedrooms and a refreshing family bathroom. Outside, the enclosed garden has a patio area for al fresco dining and a small lawn where children and four-pawed guests can play.

The quaint village of St Merryn has a handful of shops and eateries, as well as easy access to the golden sands of Harlyn Bay. There are some fantastic coastal walks branching away from the bay, including around the breathtaking Trevose Head and along the South West Coast Path to the beaches at Constantine Bay and Trevone Bay. There is also a more challenging, 7-miles route that you can follow into Padstow. Padstow is a picturesque harbour town full of cute shops, galleries, cafes, and seafood restaurants.

Spacious enough for 6 people .No outlook so cottage is dark. Enclosed garden area good for dog . Whole property although comfortable, tired and in need of tlc. If you want to cook bring your own decent knife. Lane to property is very narrow with few passing places but we only encountered 5 vehicles. Close to St Merryn .

Very spacious rooms with well equipped kitchen and lounge TV. Shower excellent and bed comfortable. Location is via a very narrow farm track that has no lights so need to go carefully. Front garden space ideal for outside dining when the weather is nice.

This cottage is ideally positioned for easy access to the 7 bays, Treyarnon being our favourite and just a 10 minute drive. It is very comfortable and much larger than expected. Well equipped with an excellent shower! Small but very sunny garden. No pubs or shops within walking distance but that suited us as we love the peace and quiet.

Lovely property to stay at. The route to property is narrow and to be taken very slowly, but it's hardly used. Only came across one other car during the week. The place has all the amenities required for a relaxing stay including a large lounge area. Very quiet area and no light pollution either. Fantastic for clear nights viewing the sky at night.Read more Hide
