About this property
This smart, well insulated detached, timber clad cottage sits beside a little stream in the pretty hamlet of Little Petherick, deep in the wooded valley of Petherick Creek 2 miles from Padstow. Light bright and airy with oak flooring throughout, this beautiful, modern holiday home provides elegant and stylish accommodation for families visiting this delightful part of Cornwall. On the ground floor, a large hall handy for coats and boots leads through to sunny, open living area with well-equipped kitchen, dining area and sitting area with patio doors leading to a sheltered balcony, perfect for evening sundowners. Three smart bedrooms, a double with a door to the balcony, another double and a twin plus a family bathroom and shower room complete the smart, elegant accommodation.
Little Petherick, with gardens to the front, side and back, enjoys tranquil meadow views from the large, enclosed, private balcony at the back with a little fenced stream trickling past its back boundary. It's just a short distance to a lovely creek-side path leading to the lively harbour town of Padstow, with its wide array of shops, pubs and elegant restaurants. This pathway also links to the famous Camel Trail. A quiet, convenient, cosy all-year-round home in a lovely part of north Cornwall.
Set in a wooded valley at the head of a tidal creek running up from the Camel Estuary, this tiny hamlet of Cornish stone houses exudes peace and tranquillity. Footpaths lead in all directions - across the fields, over to the next village, down the creek to the estuary and along the water's edge to Padstow.

We had a great stay here. We had everything we needed and more! We would definitely recommend this property for accessing Padstow and the 7 Bays.

The listing is absolutely accurate and there were no surprises. Well appointed for the 7 bays, Padstow, Wadebridge, Rock, Daymer and Polzeath. The owners were very attentive in contact but not intrusive. This property would suit someone with reduced mobility. It is all on one level accessed via approx 6 external steps with handrails.
