Summary:
Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Padstow is this super stylish house for eight. Gorgeous views extend from the garden out over the River Camel, best enjoyed with a drink or two up on the sunny south-west facing terrace.
The Space:
Big French doors lead into the kitchen, harmoniously blending outdoor and indoor living whilst also allowing light to cascade in. The living and dining spaces are located on the top floor to make the most of the surrounding views, and have been decorated to the highest standard. The kitchen is spacious, open-plan and has all the mod cons you need to cook up big feasts including Swan Espresso coffee machine. Next door is the dining room with elegant Scandinavian styled furniture, exposed brick walls and pendant lighting. You'll love picking up local produce from town and heading home to enjoy big, sociable nights in. On cooler nights, the spacious living room is a cosy spot to curl up on the sofa with a book or a film on the smart TV. Equipped with all the modern apps, you certainly won't struggle to find something to watch!
The tasteful décor continues into the bedrooms, which are accompanied by four bathrooms. The master on the first floor boasts a king-size bed, fitted wardrobes and an en-suite. On the ground floor you'll find two further double rooms as well as a room with two singles. There are three ensuite bathrooms with showers in total, plus a family bathroom with a shower and bath and one WC. The bedrooms ooze tranquillity, having been kitted out with premium furnishings and luxurious bedding. Plus, there are idyllic views out across the countryside to be enjoyed from the comfort of your bed.
Additionally, there is a separate utility room with washing machine and dryer, as well as a self contained study for those on a working holiday. This is a holiday home that has been lovingly restored and decorated with complete comfort and quality in mind. Its close proximity to Padstow is ideal for exploring, but the off-the-beaten-track location enables you to relax in total peace and relaxation.

The Neighborhood:
Padstow is one of the UK's most loved coastal towns. It features a charming harbour, winding streets and a plethora of independent shops. It's also known as Cornwall's ultimate foodie destination, with Rick Stein's famous restaurant and cookery school on the harbour. From the property, you can walk into Padstow town within 20 minutes - a real gem given the difficulties of parking in summer! However, it's a hilly walk down so may not be suitable for those with mobility limitations.
The Camel Trail starts in Padstow, following the route of the old railway line to Bodmin, and is much loved by walkers and cyclists (bikes may be hired at Padstow or Wadebridge). The path winds its way alongside the riverbank through this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its abundant wildlife. The estuary is a favourite stopping off point for migrant wading birds (up to 90 species!) who feed on the fertile mud flats during their journeys to and from the northern breeding grounds.
There are plenty of beaches close to Padstow that are well worth a visit. A short walk from the house leads you to the estuary, or you can pick up the ferry from Padstow harbour over to Rock. This is a beautiful beach on the river mouth with fantastic swimming opportunities and pubs for a tipple at sundowner! It is only a drive of 10-15 minutes to the lovely sandy, surfing beaches of Trevone, Harlyn and Constantine Bay, or you could be at the iconic Bedruthan Steps in under 20 minutes.
You're in a prime spot to experience the very best of North Cornwall. For delicious food and a vibrant atmosphere, we'd recommend heading to Scot and Bab's just outside of Mawgwan Porth. It's a 20-minute drive, and just the best summer dining spot for a rustic feast!
Getting Around:
If you get to the property by car, there is ample free parking for multiple vehicles on the driveway.
If not, the house is easily accessible via public transport with trains operated by Great Western Railway running from London Paddington directly into Newquay station - just 28 minutes drive to the house. There are also lots of buses operating if you would like to visit the surrounding areas, as well as an airport at Newquay if you prefer to fly!
Other Things to Note:
No smoking inside the property. We strictly do not allow party groups, including hen or stag do's. The property has a Ring Doorbell which is a smart video doorbell connected to an App. This is used to assist with any issues you may have during check in. Well behaved dogs are welcome with a fee of £20/dog (max 2). It is on the condition they are not allowed on the soft furnishings or in the bedrooms, are cleaned up after and are not left in the property unattended.
