Join friends and family in this spacious holiday home in St Merryn, close to the sandy beaches of the North Cornwall coast. Within the village you’ll find cute shops and cosy pubs, or head to Padstow (3 miles) to sample delicious seafood in one of the town’s many restaurants. In the evenings, read a book in the stunning conservatory or challenge your fellow guests to a game of table tennis in the garden.

The property is arranged across one level and is decorated in a traditional, homely style. From the hallway, head into the kitchen, which has a handy utility room and everything you need to create delicious dishes for the group. From here, move into the large lounge/diner, which has dual aspect windows and is bathed in natural light. Enjoy dinner parties around the table and movie nights on the comfortable sofas. Additional seating and dining space is found in the gorgeous conservatory overlooking the garden. At night, choose from three welcoming bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite bathroom. A family bathroom completes the accommodation. Outside, a vast, enclosed garden awaits, with a lawn where children can play and a table tennis table. There’s also a patio area with furniture for outdoor dining in the Cornish sunshine.

The stretch of coastline near St Merryn is known as ‘seven bays for seven days’, referring to the seven sandy beaches within a 3-mile radius. The family favourites of Harlyn Bay (1.5 miles) and Treyarnon Bay (2 miles) are great for bathing and playing on the sand, or for fabulous surfing conditions, head to Constantine Bay (1.5 miles). From Padstow, enjoy boat trips from the harbour or exhilarating hikes along the South West Coast Path. Nearby family attractions include Camel Creek Family Theme Park (5 miles) and Newquay Zoo (11.5 miles).

This property has the potential to be stunning but unfortunately it needs quite a bit of updating. The showers and gardens in particular. We couldn't sit in the garden due to the old and green mossy chairs and tables. Showers were leaking and coming away from the wall. The house is big, airy and bright and has everything you need. You can use the Read moregarage to store your beach things which was great for the boards and boats we took as we didn't have to blow them up each day. For the money we expected more. Hide

Little Birds was the perfect property for our stay. Our dogs loved the huge sunny garden and both settled well in the property. St Merryn was a lovely village with an excellent dog friendly pub/restaurant a short walk away with lovely food and friendly staff. Also a short walk down a path was a huge field we could exercise the dogs. The cottage wasRead more cosy, warm, safe, clean and very well equipped for a self catering holiday. We were greeted with a lovely tea arrangement and delicious cake from the local bakery which we would also recommend. Short drive away from a beautiful dog friendly beach and Padstow village with some lovely shops and places to eat. Would definitely book this property again we had a perfect week. Hide
