About this property
Padstow 3.2 miles. This beautifully presented cottage rests in the charming village of Little Petherick, three miles from Padstow’s beaches in Cornwall. Overlooking the tidal creek, Penpoll rests in a peaceful setting and boasting charming views and an abundance of wildlife, ideal for families or small groups of friends wanting to stay in this part of Cornwall. Set mostly over the ground floor, this Cornish retreat offers a splendid first floor double bedroom with balcony and bathroom, along with a welcoming ground floor twin benefitting from an en-suite shower room. The open-plan living area provides an amply-equipped kitchen with granite-worktops, white units and integrated appliances, so you can prepare home-cooked dishes to your hearts content! Settle down for a sumptuous meal at the dining table before picking out a board game and creating a competitive environment! Alternatively, slump on the large sofa and browse the Smart TV for your favourite shows, or when the weather’s nice, throw open the patio doors and access the sun-trapped decking, complete with alfresco furniture and outdoor seating. Those avid walkers can explore the magnificent Saints Way, an ancient walking trail leading from Padstow to Fowey, providing ample opportunity for a stroll along the creek and for birdwatching. Be sure to pack your seaside essentials as there are many superb beaches in the area, including Treyarnon Bay, Constatine Bay and Harlyn Bay. If you wish to explore further, Rock Beach at Padstow and Daymer provide excellent surfing and sailing conditions. Venture into Padstow and wander its quaint little streets full of boutique shops and the picturesque harbour, renowned for its fantastic selection of restaurants and inns. However you choose to spend your time, Penpoll is a fantastic base for making the most of Cornwall.
A great starting point for exploring the South West Coastal Path, which opens up routes to the stunning Cornish countryside, is Padstow, which is located at the beginning of the Camel Cycle Trail. This charming fishing port is flanked by beautiful beaches and provides many possibilities to sample the regional cuisine at places run by famous people. Padstow offers activities for everyone, including fishing, strolling, cycling, and taking trips on local fishermen's boats. A passenger boat across the river from Padstow to Rock will take you to the beach at Daymer Bay, and the superb surfing beaches of Harlyn and Constantine are perfect for safe family enjoyment. Constantine Bay also has a golf course nearby. The surfing mecca of Polzeath is only around the corner toward Pentire Head, and when the beach no longer calls, there are surrounding golf courses, various elegant residences, and gardens to explore. Just over 20 miles separate you from the magnificent Eden Project.

The property is lovely with a great setting on the river. Almost everything had been thought of to make our stay comfortable. There were a few minor points - but nothing that wouldn't lead me to book again. We were only three adults - but the lounge and dining areas weren't really set up for four people to sit comfortably. The beds were quite high and the mattresses hard - and the duvet was quite thin - although fine for us in the warm weather we were lucky to have. Otherwise - everything was lovely - and I would definitely recommend to others.
