  • Bespoke, five-star barn conversion with luxury features throughout
  • Set above the open-plan living area, a large atrium roof draws in glorious natural light
  • Experience all-season stays here, with a terrace for the summer and a wood burner in the winter
Property code: OC-F34918

Beautiful Harlyn Bay – just a mile from this bespoke barn conversion – welcomes salty sea dogs year-round while just a little further away, Padstow is a starting point for traffic-free walkies in the countryside. Wear out the pups then unwind; alongside its drool-inducing social space, a sunny terrace and wood burner add all-weather appeal to this high-end hideaway.

One of an exclusive collection of former farm properties, this gorgeous holiday home is enhanced by a huge glass atrium above its open-plan social space. Together with dual-aspect patio doors, this impressive rooflight fills the kitchen, dining and lounge areas with natural light. For a cosy after-dark ambience, fire up the wood burner and settle down to watch TV with the dogs at your feet. Once you’ve bid your four-pawed pals goodnight, head off to your choice of two blissful bedrooms. The ground-floor bedroom has use of a contemporary shower room, while upstairs the master bedroom sits beneath the eaves and boasts a super-king-size zip-and-link bed, which for flexibility can be arranged as twins on request. An elegant en-suite heightens the sanctuary-like feel. The property nestles within the surrounding grounds, its private terrace edged by a sloping lawn that creates privacy while you enjoy al fresco food and drinks. Shared gardens offer further fresh-air fun; if you’d like to holiday as part of a larger group, other properties are available that sleep a further 12 guests; please ask us for details.

Park, unpack and explore at your leisure: the pups will go mutts for ball games and doggie paddles at Harlyn Bay which – like neighbouring Trevone – is less than a mile from your doorstep. Foodie-favourite Padstow (2 miles) features a lively harbour, a fantastic selection of restaurants, and is also the starting point for the Camel Trail, which follows the course of an old railway line to Wadebridge and then Bodmin. For further tail-wagging walks, follow the South West Coast Path around Trevose Head (2 miles).

Very nice accommodation. Well presented. Great location close to Padstow, Harlyn etc. The outdoor space is not secure so was a bit of an issue keeping dogs and toddlers safe with patio doors open.

So the cottage itself was lovely and in a fabulous location, so close to padstow, amazing beaches and lovely pubs. They were all walking distance but there didnt appear to be a way to get to them without walking on a narrow traffic road. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms were good. The garden furniture is lovely but the sun is only on the fRead moreurniture area in the morning. The outside area didnt seem to be cared for very well. Obviously the grass was dead due to the heatwave, but the walls didnt look clean or painted, there were weeds absolutely everywhere and all over the drive which makes it look a bit run down. As other people have mentioned the kitchen utensils were minimal for example we had to buy a cheese grater. We left it so at least there is one there now. The internet doesnt work in the upstairs bedroom. It was stated the bed was split into twin beds but they are joined together just with single quilts on top. The downstairs bathroom doesnt have frosted windows and you can see into other properties when you are in the shower and one day someone was watering plants directly outside the window. Our main issue was that there was a really unpleasant smell inside the property which we couldnt locate and seemed to attract flies and we were absolutely inundated with them. It became really unpleasant but it was too hot to have the doors shut. Hide

We had a fabulous time staying at the Forge and would definitely book again. The location was great for all the wonderful beaches around Padstow & beyond. The accommodation was very impressive and comfortable.

We had a lovely stay at the Forge- its a great conversion and interior has been done well to a very high spec. Comfortable beds and good bathrooms. Living room did get quite hot so we needed to ventilate a fair bit. Kitchen just needs a few extra utensils otherwise was well set up. Fantastic location close to some brilliant beaches- we loved TrevonRead moree as very family friendly and has a good cafe/shop close by. Hide

Just returned from a weeks holiday, and stayed at the forge cottage. Everything was perfect, fittings and fixtures were top quality. The location was perfect for a visit to Cornwall, no more than a hour in any direction to visit places of interest. We would definitely return in the future.

Weve just returned from a weeks stay at The Forge and, overall, we really enjoyed our time there. The location is excellent just six minutes from Padstow and only a couple of minutes drive from Harlyn Bay Beach, making it a great base for exploring the area. The cottage itself is beautiful, well presented, and clearly very thoughtfully desigRead morened. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in, although it would benefit from a few more utensils and pans. There are a few points worth noting. The internet was extremely slow throughout our stay. The owner advised that fibre broadband is due to be installed soon, which should hopefully resolve the issue, but for now the Wi-Fi is very poor and mobile signal/5G coverage is limited. We had booked the twin bedroom upstairs, but on arrival the beds had not been separated into two singles. Instead, there were two single duvets placed on top of a double bed. The cottage has underfloor heating throughout, but we found the controls difficult to understand and the property remained quite warm for most of our stay. We were fortunate to be the only guests on the development during our visit, so it was very peaceful. However, its worth noting that the cottages are positioned quite close together, particularly The Forge and The Dairy. The beds were comfortable and we slept well, although the pillows were firmer than we would have preferred. There is a Tesco within a 5 minute drive, but note in the evening it is very poorly stocked, so it is best to go during the day, Overall, The Forge is a lovely cottage in a fantastic location, and we had a very enjoyable stay. With a few small improvements, it would be even better. Hide

The Forge is beautiful, quiet, comfortable with all the modern conveniences. No bath but the facilities are modern and obviously new. Beautiful decoration throughout without being cluttered. There is also a washing machine and iron/ing board which is not listed online and also a hairdryer. The locality is a sea sport haven and the owners have a dRead moreedicated storage building to hose down/clean and store sand covered surf boards/wetsuits etc. There is an induction hob in the kitchen and has only a small freezer compartment to the fridge. There are lots of different birds around the property and sheep bleating in neighbouring fields and is perfect for stargazing as no light pollution come night time. There is a Tescos 1 1/2 miles away for groceries and a petrol station even nearer. Rick Steins pub/restaurant is lovely and is in St Merryn. Trevone beach is gorgeous with sauna/toilets/bar/food. The property/staycay will leave a lasting imprint on you and leave with wonderful memories. Hide
