The Barn

Description

The Barn is an ideal retreat for those looking to get away from it all.  This lovely barn conversion is built in stone and slate and is filled with character features; vaulted beamed ceilings, rough plastered walls and thick slate window sills.  One in a group of similar cottages and located in a very quiet location at Lower Halwyn, this hamlet overlooks the stunning River Camel and is only about 200m from the Oldtown inlet and the Camel Trail. This former railway track provides a flat, beautiful and car-free route into Padstow taking about 30 minutes' walk. Keen cyclists can enjoy the full 18 mile route, which starts at Padstow and meanders inland to Bodmin moor, or take it easy on the flat to Wadebridge taking in the natural beauty and wildlife which is there to be enjoyed, whatever time of the year you visit.

This property offers a low occupancy discount of 10% on full weekly bookings for parties of 2 or less at certain times of the year which means that bedroom 2 is unavailable to use. This discount is automatically applied and the holiday price you are quoted reflects this. If you have any questions or require full use of the property, and don't want bedroom 2 to be unavailable, please call our friendly team on 01841 533331 or email cottages@cornishhorizons.co.uk for more information.

Local Area

Padstow is arguably now one of the best-known of Cornwall's holiday destinations - a working harbour still retaining the character of the fishing industry while also managing to reinvent itself as a modern holiday destination. Padstow has so much to offer the discerning holiday maker, with several beaches along the Camel Estuary, where you can also have a go at a range of water sports such as sailing and windsurfing, as well as a variety of boat trips such as fishing excursions, speedboat rides, sea-life safaris and the ever popular Jubilee Queen. You can indulge your passion for food at an excellent selection of restaurants in the town, which is now the base for a number of celebrity chefs including Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth.  If you're looking for more active pursuits, you can cycle the Camel Trail, the route of the old railway line running between Padstow and Bodmin.  If walking is more your thing, there are many walking trails and routes waiting to be discovered, and if you're bringing a dog, there are plenty of dog-friendly places to explore. Gaining popularity in recent years is the Padstow Christmas Festival, now spread over four days, with cookery demonstrations, food and craft market, and entertainment.
