Enjoy a coastal getaway – as a couple, a small family or with friends – to this cute house in foodie Padstow. Charming, light-filled interiors combined with modern furnishings make this a really comfortable base to eat your way around Padstow or head further afield along the coast to glorious spots like Trevone Bay (2 miles) or Harlyn Bay (2.5 miles).
Your holiday will get off to a great start with this cute cottage, flooded with light and tastefully decorated in neutral tones to give the whole place a sophisticated, yet calming, atmosphere. It’s unfussy, with modern furniture and all mod cons to cook up a feast in the kitchen. The lounge/diner is a cosy and relaxing space with French doors opening onto a charming furnished patio. There’s another patio garden area with dining furniture the other side of the house, too, so you can always find sun or shade, company or quiet any time of the day. Private permit parking allows one car.
Don’t worry about navigating tiny lanes or finding parking; just a strollable 500 metres away, you’ll find Padstow’s historic harbour and the plethora of eateries nearby. Boat trips to spot wildlife including seals and dolphins also depart from here. Keep it water-based by crossing on the Black Tor ferry from Padstow to Rock (dubbed the ‘Saint Tropez of Cornwall’) on the other side of the estuary. It operates all year, but check seasonal timings when you’re there; dogs can usually go for a small fee at the ferryman’s discretion. But, if you want to burn off some of the fish and chips, then put your walking boots on and join the Camel Trail which extends 18.5 miles from Padstow to Wenford Bridge. It’s ideal for walkers or cyclists and any dogs will love the sniffing opportunities!
