Pack your buckets and spades, kids and canines into the car and head off for a wonderful seaside holiday at this gorgeous cottage. It’s close to the centre of Padstow in a quiet, traffic-free corner of a development on the outskirts of the town. It has two bedrooms, a king and a twin, an enclosed terrace with a BBQ, and gorgeous views.
Light and bright, this charming cottage makes a comfy home from home. It has an open-plan lounge/diner where you can listen to music, watch the Smart TV and films, play games, and enjoy meals together. The kitchen is well-appointed with everything needed for cooking, plus a Nespresso coffee machine for your morning cuppa. There’s also a handy boot room for coats and shoes, and a utility room on the ground floor. The family bathroom and two bedrooms are on the first floor, both are pretty with Smart TVs and attractive prints. Heading outside, you can let the dogs potter around the enclosed terrace while you have a BBQ and drinks together in the sunshine.
Wander to the working port (about 0.5 miles away) and watch the day’s fresh catch being brought in; the quay is also home to bustling pubs and eateries. Padstow is known as a wonderful place to eat out with everything from fish and chips and cream teas to celebrity chefs and Michelin-starred restaurants. Book a sealife safari from the harbour to explore the local wildlife or head out on a fishing trip. Visit Padstow’s beaches to go surfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and sunbathing. Walk or cycle along some or all of the Camel Trail, an 18-mile route through stunning scenery to Wenfordbridge, via Wadebridge and Bodmin.
