Property code: OC-P00426

Get away from it all on a coastal break in this idyllic cottage in the tiny hamlet of Penrose. It’s the ideal place for couples and small families to rest and recharge, exploring the many hidden beaches and coves along this unspoilt stretch of coastline. The picturesque village of St Merryn is 3 miles away, and you’ll be within easy reach of Newquay (9 miles) and Padstow (6 miles), with their exceptional pubs, bars, and restaurants.

The traditional petit stone cottage is bursting with period features and has been decorated and furnished to complement the original style. The bespoke kitchen has been carefully designed to maximise the space and has a cute breakfast bar and everything you need to rustle up delicious dinners. The cosy lounge is a delightful place to relax, watching the Smart TV in the glow of the wood burner. Beyond the lounge is a dining area, with French doors opening onto the patio. A beautiful bathroom completes the ground floor. Upstairs, two charming bedrooms await, both with characterful sloping ceilings (just watch out for the restricted head height in some areas). Please note the double bedroom is open to the stairway separated by a curtain and to access the twin room you need to go through the double bedroom. 

Porthcothan Bay (2.5 miles) is one of North Cornwall’s hidden gems. The sheltered, sandy cove is the perfect place for a peaceful picnic and a splash in the calm waters. At low tide, the beach connects to a number of other picturesque coves along the coastline. The stretch of the South West Coast Path that passes through Porthcothan is considered one of the finest of the whole trail, offering panoramic views and spectacular wildlife watching opportunities, particularly as you approach the iconic Bedruthan Steps.

Lovely cosy cottage, perfect for a couple. We loved the secure garden, so our dog could potter. Location couldnt have been any better. You could walk to the beach through foot paths if desired. The bed is really comfortable and I had the best night sleep I've had in months! Overall a great place to use as a base for exploring the 7 bays!

Extremely quiet and peaceful, if a little remote. Penrose is a tiny hamlet with no shop and without a car, you would be stuck. However, if you like walking and wildlife, it is perfect. The cottage itself is small and quirky. Too small for a family, but ideal for couple.

Very sweet little cottage in a beautiful part of Cornwall. This cottage is fine for a couple but as a family of 4 with a dog we found it to be too small for us unfortunately. Plenty to do in the area so we were out and about most days. We enjoyed exploring a new part of Cornwall for us and would like to return to the area.
