About this property
A sweeping, architectural gem set in the peaceful tranquillity of the hamlet of St. Issey, just outside of Padstow. Up to twenty-six guests can celebrate a special occasion to remember in this historic yet updated listed Manor House with Cornish slate walls, restored fireplaces and a characterful garden complete with a large hot tub and outdoor kitchen.
Once a former courthouse and Mill, the rich history of the building is reflected in the lovingly restored rooms and gardens. Guests are spoilt for choice with places to relax, celebrate and come together with five reception spaces on offer. Catch a movie on the large L-shaped sofas of the TV room, let the children run wild in the delightful playroom that benefits from a door out to the garden or sit in peace with a book in the garden room.
The state-of-the-art kitchen reflects the genius of the London-based Parti Architects, with stone walls, neutral colours and an epic kitchen island. There are plenty of options at dinner time, with a choice of four ovens, a pizza oven, and even a Braai stove. Lively dinners will go on well into the evening around the impressive twenty-four-seater dining table set in the atmospheric dining room, impeccably designed with a wall of glass floor-to-ceiling doors and windows to allow the outdoors in and easy access to the beautiful garden space.
The sleeping accommodation continues the luxury theme with exceptionally well-appointed rooms, each with its own en-suite or private bathroom. There are eight super-king bedrooms (three of which can be converted to twins) and four king-size rooms, many of which benefit from deep soak baths for an invigorating morning soak, Italian carved marble basins and large walk-in showers. Elegant artwork by emerging artists adorns the walls, and original brick fireplaces nod to the history of the house, whilst the calming neutral ambience is reflected in the tasteful décor.
An enviable feature of Pendragon Hall is the exceptional garden space, with sculpted beds, plentiful outdoor seating and an amazing outdoor kitchen where guests can cook up a feast to be enjoyed with plentiful wine in the lovely Cornish sunshine. After dinner, take a dip in the large hot tub whilst the children play.
With parking for six cars, an online lobby facility that allows you to book a variety of extras from private bartenders to in-house yoga sessions, and all the mod cons you will need to cater for your guests, all you need to worry about is enjoying your holiday. Just a short drive away is the bustling town of Padstow or the stunning sandy beaches of the North Cornish Coast. If you can tempt yourself away from the luxury of your holiday home, then there is so much to see and do in the surrounding area.
Set in the convenient mid-Cornwall position, the house is within half an hour’s drive of many of the main Cornish attractions. On the North coast, a visit to the bustling seaside town of Padstow has so much to offer.
Try your hand at crabbing in the harbour, grab yourself a local pasty for lunch or take a boat trip over to nearby Rock. We recommend a visit to the fascinating National Lobster Hatchery to observe the lifecycle of marine lobsters run by local marine experts. Padstow is also home to a number of delicious Rick Stein eateries, from grab-and-go fish and chips to the flagship Seafood Restaurant serving a selection of fresh from the ocean dishes from scallops, moules, lobster and more.
With its enviable coast, Cornwall has a plethora of beaches to choose from where crystal-clear waves await your enjoyment, with swimming, paddleboarding, water skiing, and boat rides all available. As the surfing mecca of the UK, Newquay is home to Britain’s premiere surfing spot, Fistral Beach. World-renowned, it plays host to the Boardmasters International Surf Competition each year; whilst out of the water, Fistral and nearby Watergate Bay are the places to be for the annual five-day music festival, Boardmasters.
A gateway to the wild beauty of Cornwall, there is a plethora of local beaches and beauty spots. Crantoch Beach is a must-see with its epic sand dunes, perfect for exploring; if you venture onto the footpaths to Polly Joke Beach, you might even spot some local seals sunning themselves on the secluded shore. Watergate Bay offers two miles of golden sand and a more peaceful environment, whilst a short drive will take you to the perfect rock-pooling spot at Porth Beach. Make sure you head out on the narrow footbridge to Porth Island for stunning views of the Cornish coastline. Or take a visit to nearby National-Trust-owned Trerice, a charming Elizabethan manor with picture-perfect gardens perched just outside of Newquay.
On the South coast, a trip to The Eden Project in St. Austell is only a thirty-minute drive, a perfect spot for families where you can walk amongst the dramatic tropical biomes and experience the sights and smells of the rainforest. There are fascinating displays on climate and sustainability and a large restaurant and gift shop to keep the kids fed and happy!
Why not take a day trip to St. Ives for a little local culture and visit the Cornish home of the Tate Gallery to check out exhibits of both famous and local artists and browse the local artisan shops?
