Our second stay at Strandline, we love it. Incredibly well equipped, loved the fact both bedrooms have big beds/zip link and their own bathrooms. Cosy, comfortable and of course love the log burner. Such a well furnished and homely room property with a cute outside space. Great location within a short driving distance to sooooo many beaches, walksRead more, good pubs and restaurants. Ollie the owner very helpful and friendly. We would return anytime! Hide

We had a great week at the Strand Line and the weather was dry apart from one day. Nearby Porthcothan beach was just perfect for our dog to run his socks off! Not far down the road fron here is the Carnewas at Bedruthan which has a National Trust shop, caf with level viewpoint tracks and free parking for NT members. Stunning views. Padstow is onlRead morey a short drive away. All in !all a great week! Hide

We spent an amazing week here, our favourite place to stay! Even without sunshine and warmth (which we were so lucky with this year) Strand Line is a great base to explore from. The cabin is beautifully set up, with so many individual and interesting pieces, its completely unique and looks exactly the same as the website pictures. The welcome milkRead more and biscuits are appreciated as well as use of the essentials which we dont have to bring/buy while were there (cooking oil, dishwasher tablets, kitchen roll etc). Thank you - well be back again in 2027! Hide
