Escape to the Cornwall Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for a tranquil holiday by a creek near Padstow. This homely and characterful cottage with characterful features like an exposed stone inglenook fireplace, white-washed wooden beamed ceilings and traditional sash windows. Spend time with your seven other human guests and two canine companions exploring the surrounding beaches, seaside villages and coastal trails.

Enter the property through a hallway with space for coats and shoes into the spacious kitchen/breakfast room with a small table and chairs, an oil-fired Aga plus a window seat. Continue into the lounge/diner where a snug area with a sofa and armchair surround the wood burner. There is also a dining table with chairs for six and an additional seating area with garden views. Completing the ground floor is a bathroom. Upstairs are two more family bathrooms plus four bedrooms – two doubles, a twin room plus a bunk bedroom.
