Overview
Property code: OC-R27444

Set tails wagging with a family holiday to Little Petherick, in North Cornwall. This beautiful stone cottage would make an ideal base for a small group and their faithful canine. The property has charming details and a lovely garden, and it’s set in an area full of natural beauty and coastal delights.

Enter the property through a porch, where there’s space to store outdoor gear – and some seats, if you have to wait for everyone to get ready! Keep walking to find the kitchen, which is full of modern appliances, including a coffee machine so you can start your day with a tasty treat. The ground floor is completed with an airy lounge/diner with a wood burner and an ornamental fireplace. It’s simply decorated, and pretty. The staircase is located at the back of the room. Upstairs, you’ll have two bedrooms, one double and a super king which can be made as a twin with another ornamental fireplace, plus a dressing room which connects to the family bathroom. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath. You’ll have two outdoor areas: a patio with a table out the front, and a rear garden, enclosed by a wooden fence, so your dog and children can play.

Little Petherick is a quiet village, so it’s nice and relaxing, and if you’d like the bustle of a larger town, Padstow is only 3 miles away. Here, you can find plenty of things to entertain everyone, including dog-friendly boat tours where you might see dolphins, puffins, seals and much more! Take a trip to Trevone Bay, 3.5 miles, for a dog-friendly beach which is also great for surfing. Finish off with a walk around St Breock Downs, 6 miles.

The house was clean and linens nice and fresh. Kitchen & bathroom facilities are good & modern. Plenty of hot water. We picked this house because it was located to give us easy access to travel around the area, and for that, it was good. There were some housekeeping issues on arrival, which were resolved within 24 hours. Though it was frustratiRead moreng to arrive with steaks for tea on a Sunday evening and no useable pan to fry them in. A little welcome pack would have been appreciated as there were no tea/coffee/sugar/ dishwashing stuff/condiments at all. Ive slept in comfier beds, but these were fine. Sofas were comfy. Both bedrooms are at the front of the house and are exposed to traffic noise late into the night and from early morning ( at least 1 car every 10 seconds from about 6am). The volume of passing traffic, the speed of travel and the need to listen before crossing (because you cant step out on to the road to see it) made me feel unsafe. Parking on the church hall car park was fine, except for Saturday when we couldnt get a space. There is nowhere else to park! We just double parked and left our contact details visible on the dashboard. All that said, for the price we paid, it felt value for money. Response from Holiday Cottages - Thank you for your review. We do mention the busy road in our descriptions "need to know" and weve spoken to the housekeeper and the issues have now been resolved. Hide

Just comments similar to others who had to negotiate a busy road without a footpath. Common-sense and caution was needed, particularly when carrying luggage and shoppingalthough adequate parking about 100m away by the town hall.

Lovely charming cottage, but a very dangerous road for walking, no allocated parking space.

Really relaxing and comfortable cottage in a peaceful village but close to the hustle and bustle of Padstow. Really warm and cosy inside and so quiet, such a great place to escape for a period. Would recommend to anyone looking for a Cornish base for a holiday.

Lovely clean and tidy cottage, furnishings etc. All up to date, nice touch having a few board games which we made use of. Some beautiful beaches to explore within short drive that are all dog friendly.

Access to the cottage is a big issue. From the car park, there is a 100-metre walk uphill along a narrow road with no pavement and frequent passing traffic. Unsuitable for small children and anyone who needs to bring baggage into the property.

Bed in main room is comfortable. Lovely Bistro at end of road & Padstow easily reachable. Cottage is on a road with no pavements. Parking is down the road.
