Property code: OC-P00734

A charming cottage with gorgeous interiors, original features, and a pretty garden, this is a peaceful getaway for a couple, friends, or a family. It’s tucked away in the hamlet of Penrose in the stunning Cornish countryside near Padstow and is just 2.5 miles from the nearest beach, so it’s perfect for exploring the coast and country.

The 250-year-old cottage has bags of character with many original features complemented by contemporary furniture and fittings to create a comfortable home-from-home. The kitchen has lovely mod cons including a Lavazza coffee machine, and the dining room caters for everyone with its large farmhouse table, wood burner and books and toys for the kids. There’s Netflix for cosy evenings in and a lovely garden for warm summer days, with different seating areas, pretty planting, and a lawn your kids and furry family members will love.

You can head out and enjoy this unspoilt area of Cornwall on foot on the many trails and footpaths nearby. There’s a lovely 2.5-mile walk through fields and woods to Porthcothan Bay, with its gorgeous beach with golden sands and crystal-clear waters which are great for surfing, sunbathing and swimming, and your furry friends are welcome there all year. If the beach and fields near the cottage seem familiar, it’s because they were one of the filming locations for Poldark! There are several canine-friendly beaches on this part of the coast, and it’s a haven for walkers, water sports enthusiasts and newbies alike. Cyclists and walkers will enjoy the Camel Trail, an accessible cycling/walking trail between Padstow and Bodmin, which runs through a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The quaint harbour town of Padstow is 5 miles away, known as a top destination for foodies with a selection of fine dining restaurants to choose from.

We loved our stay at The Gardens, it was a lovely warm home from home. Great location, quiet but close to so many lovely beaches. Highlight for me was the garden and watching the birds and having the bird food was a lovely touch, i enjoyed filling the bird feeder and watching the different birds every day. Would love to return.

Very quaint cottage in remote but close to all the amazing beaches . Dog friendly and our greyhound was very happy here but the very pretty garden is not enclosed . The cottage was well appointed - the fires set and log basket full , beautiful bed linens , powerful over bath shower , every utensil you may need in the kitchen . Oh and the welcome tRead moreray of treats was yummy ! There is off road parking in front of the garden but it would be tight for 2 cars ! Also as expected in a Cornish hamlet the roads are very narrow and the lane the property is on is very tight but this shouldnt put you off this great property . It really is a little Cornish gem !

Owner clearly takes great care of the property- in great order for an older cottage. Nice garden to sit in - very quiet and peaceful setting. Less than 10 minutes drive to great beaches - places to eat. Padstow less than 15 minutes away. Recommended.

The property was in a perfect location to visit excellent beaches. We had everything we needed in the property - it worked well for us and our dog. The walk to Porthcothan was lovely and easy to find. We would look to book again.
