Enjoy a peaceful getaway at this lovely stone-built cottage just half mile from the stunning beach of Old Town Cove. Sleeping four people over two bedrooms and welcoming two canine companions, it’s ideal for small families or groups of friends who are yearning for a quirky cottage to call home while they explore the wild beauty of Cornwall together. Spend wonderful days taking your dogs for walkies along the pretty harbour in Padstow, and in the evening, come home to fire up the charcoal BBQ in the garden, and dine alfresco while your pups plays happily on the lawn.

Step inside, store your dog-walking gear in the slate-floored hallway, ascend the spiral wooden staircase, and you''ll find yourself in a spacious open-plan kitchen/lounge/dining area. Take a moment to soak up the panoramic estuary views from the cosy lounge area, before heading to the country-style kitchen area to gather everyone together to eat at the dining table. Alternatively, head out into the garden to dine alfresco at the quaint picnic table. After dinner, make your way to the lounge area to catch up on your favourite TV shows while your pups rests at your feet. At the end of the day, there are two lovely bedrooms waiting for you – on the ground floor, you’ll find one stylish double bedroom with country views; up the spiral staircase in the eaves, you’ll find a room with twin 3’ beds. This cosy room is bathed in light from its Velux window and comes complete with an en-suite WC. Completing the layout, you’ll find a stylish family shower room on the ground floor.

Explore the charming market town of Wadebridge (5 miles) with your dogs in tow. Wander along the bustling streets and stop off for a coffee in one of the dog-friendly cafes. Alternatively, head with your pup to Harbour Cove Beach (7 miles). At low tide, the beach merges with Hawkers Cove, which is also dog-friendly all year round.

Lovely cottage on the Camel Trail. Has 2 bedrooms but we were staying as a couple so had no reason to use the bedroom upstairs. Not sure whether it would be suitable for young families as bedrooms were quite far from each other and you had to use a spiral staircase to get between floors. We loved it though and would happily stay there again. It wasRead more clean and smelt fresh, had enough in the kitchen to suit our needs, WiFi was fine. Loved the access to the Camel Trail, we ran every day and wandered in to Padstow. To get anywhere other than Padstow you would need a to have a car and be happy to navigate those narrow Cornish roads (but thats what makes it part of the fun!). A great place to stay to explore what North Cornwall has to offer! Hide

Excellent stay in quiet warm and cosy cottage. Handy for Camel Trail where we walked from the cottage to Padstow eateries in the evening. Cosiness was needed especially as we drove to the coast in a snowstorm one morning, rest of the day was sunny.

The location was excellent on the camel trail and very convenient for Padstow. However the cleanliness of the bedrooms was very poor, and let down the rest of the property.

We had a week in Trailside in September - it suited us really well. We cycled and walked the Camel Trail - the cottage is really convenient for this. And for all the other Padstow area attractions. Having the shower room downstairs works well - when you come back from the beach, you can shower your sandy feet straight away. The bed is comfortabRead morele, and the living space is well laid out. We'll be back. Hide

Trailside Cottage is ideally situated very near to the Camel Trail and therefore easy access to Padstow and Wadebridge on foot or pedal power. From the main living area there are lovely views of the countryside with tantalising glimpses of the estuary!

It is well equipped, has everything you need and has amazing fluffy white towels and crisp bed linen! AND it's dog-friendly!!!! Hide

It is an excellent cottage either as a base or if you just wish to stay there. Unfortunately a car is necessary, its a long way from anywhere if you run out of milk.

Trailside is a cosy cottage sleeping 4 just off the camel trail. Its in a great location for a 2 mile stroll or bike ride into Padstow, or a longer trek in the other direction to Wadebridge. A nice touch was to be left some Cornish team, coffee and biscuits. The cottage has a spiral stair case and you definitely have to mind your head wheRead moren entering the hobbit sized door into the loft bedroom. If you are an adult, using the upstairs toilet standing up is challenging due to the low ceiling. Even with good lighting and reminders be prepared to bump your head :) So you will need to keep a close eye on small children and I would not recommend it for anyone less mobile. Generally its well kitted out with a respectable Kitchen and downstairs bathroom but some of the fixtures and fittings are a bit tired. Lack of tumble dryer is probably less of an issue in summer months. Hide
