Embark on an adventure with your loved ones in this characterful barn conversion, located just 3 miles outside Padstow. Sleeping six people across three inviting bedrooms, this 18th-century stone cottage is the perfect accommodation choice for families or groups of friends looking for a relaxing retreat to call home while they discover the stunning Cornish coast together. Spend a lovely day soaking up the sun on the golden sands of Harlyn Bay, and then come home in the evening to relax in front of the cottage''s crackling wood burner.
This beautiful cottage boasts a unique upside-down layout that makes the very most of the views it offers of the surrounding countryside. Step inside and you''ll be welcomed by a characterful slate-floored hallway with pretty, exposed beams. Head upstairs and make yourself at home in the light, bright and spacious lounge, which features a cosy wood burner set in a natural slate fireplace. When it''s time to eat, make your way to the delightful, bohemian-style open-plan kitchen/dining area to whip up some dinner. Gather everyone around the colourful dining table to enjoy a sociable meal. Alternatively, make your way out to the pretty patio, fire up a BBQ and dine alfresco with your loved ones. After dinner, enjoy a glass of something cool and crisp in the garden, or head to the lounge to warm your toes in front of the wood burner. At the end of the day, make your way downstairs and you''ll find three beautifully presented bedrooms: two lovely king-size bedrooms (one with an en-suite wet room), and one handy twin room. Completing the layout, you''ll find an elegant family bathroom with a shower over the bath on the ground floor.
Stroll along Padstow Harbour (3 miles) and take in the views of the vibrant fishing boats gently bobbing in the bay.

Alternatively, visit the National Lobster Hatchery (3 miles) - a unique conservation, research and education centre. Learn about the various life stages of lobsters, and afterwards, pick up a unique souvenir in the hatchery gift shop.
