Discover the beauty of North Cornwall from the comfort of this modern cottage on the fringes of St Merryn. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom retreat, which also welcomes dogs, could be perfect for a small family or two couples. Situated 3 miles from Padstow, it is just 2 miles from the beach and features a wood burner for cosy nights in and a courtyard garden for sunny afternoons.

Take three steps down and head through the gate to let yourselves into this well-presented holiday home. Make your way into the lounge to stoke up the wood burner, relax in front of your favourite boxset on the Smart TV and make your plans for the following day. Unpack the fresh seafood you have bought in Padstow through in the well-equipped kitchen/diner then prepare a light lunch and open a bottle of chilled white wine. Dine in here at the table or out in the sunshine of the courtyard garden. There is also a WC downstairs. The family shower room and your bedrooms, a king-size and a twin, are on the first floor of the property. Enjoy the garden, with its different levels and stone steps, as often as the weather permits. There is parking for one car with this cottage.

Choose between the beautiful beaches at Harlyn Bay and Treyarnon when you fancy swimming, surfing or spending time on the sand. Keen walkers can pick up the South West Coast Path from any of these locations. Head into Padstow to dine out and potter in the shops. You can follow the traffic-free Camel Trail for 5.5 miles from here along the river to Wadebridge. There are places to hire bikes in Padstow and Wadebridge. Have a day out to Newquay, 11 miles away, with its beaches that are popular with surfers.

Amazing time trick or treating around the village. Storm Ciaran was a a force to be reckoned with - but very much an experience. Loved every day of our holiday, Camel Creek, Bodmin Jail and Lands End, also our walks along the coast and beaches. Went to the Farmers Arms most days for food and games. Great cottage, we will be back!
