Golden, family-friendly beaches on the doorstep, water sports galore, and wonderful scenic walks: picturesque Padstow has it all. A charming town cottage, just 1 mile from the harbour, offers a perfect base for exploring the delights of this historic fishing port and the glorious North Cornwall coast. Sleeping four, the bright holiday home is ideal for families. Classic beaches nearby include Trevone Bay and Harlyn Bay, both within 3 miles, and regular boat trips run from the bustling harbour. Foodies are spoiled for choice, with a raft of excellent seafood restaurants.
This welcoming semi-detached cottage is set in a quiet location, with a shop, pub and restaurant within a 300-metre stroll. The light and airy open-plan lounge/diner is simply furnished in contemporary style with soft grey sofas. There is a pretty dining area and a smart kitchen, well stocked for all your culinary needs. Upstairs, there is a family bathroom and two inviting bedrooms, a double and a twin. Outside, an enclosed rear patio with garden furniture is a tranquil spot for outdoor dining.
Take a stroll down narrow streets to the waterfront and see colourful fishing boats in the busy working harbour. From here, you can jump aboard the veteran Jubilee Queen for a voyage along the spectacular coastline, looking out for marine wildlife along the way. Back at the waterfront, buy a catch of the day for dinner or enjoy a seafood meal out. Take a walk or hire a bike for a peaceful journey along the Camel Trail. The 17-mile route follows the path of an old railway and runs alongside the lovely River Camel. Catch the ferry across the Camel Estuary to Rock, where there are more gorgeous sandy beaches and a surf school.
