Originally built in about 1820, this charming stone cottage is situated in a quiet lane in the beautiful old town of Padstow and sleeps 10.

The cottage is ideally suited to holidays all year round, with Padstow harbour, the Camel Trail, Rick Stein's restaurants, gorgeous shops, pubs and other restaurants all within a few minutes' walk.

Also in Padstow there is a post office, a dear little cinema, internet facilities at the library and tourist office and there are two banks. There are boat and fishing trips running from the harbour as well as a ferry over to Rock.

The stunning beaches near Padstow include Harlyn Bay, Trevone Bay and Constantine Bay. There is really something for everyone whether it's digging sandcastles and crabbing in rock pools, surfing (there are plenty of lessons for Malibu boarders), or walking along the cliff top path with its breathtaking views.
