Just a mile from the beautiful, sandy and dog-friendly beach of Porthcothan Bay, this delightful country farmhouse is a fantastic holiday home for families and couples seeking a quiet retreat along the North Cornwall coast. Dating back to the 19th century, this sympathetically updated Grade II-listed property provides ample accommodation for up to four guests, with plenty of space for two waggy-tailed pals to come along and discover this breathtaking area. Set on the outskirts of a holiday park, the property retains many original features including moulded plaster cornices and plasterwork, a beautiful staircase with a wrought-iron balustrade and a hand-painted and stained-glass window depicting a farmyard scene.

Entering this spacious farmhouse, you will find the tastefully furnished lounge with plenty of seating, a Smart TV offering Sky TV and open fire, providing an ideal space to sit back together and chat about the day. The ground floor also features an airy open-plan kitchen/diner. Upstairs, there’s a handy family bathroom, a landing with seating so you can curl up with a good book, and two delightful bedrooms: a cheerful super-king-size room and a pretty twin room. Going outside via a porch with seating, there’s a large enclosed garden with patio furniture and plenty of space for your pets to roam as you enjoy some al fresco dining.

The holiday park next door offers a range of facilities during the holiday period including a shop and bar which serves meals. The pet-friendly beach of Porthcothan Bay is less than a mile away, with the equally dog-welcoming beaches of Treyarnon Bay and Constantine Bay both within 1.5 miles. Just 5 miles to the east, the bustling and historic fishing port of Padstow is a great base for boat and fishing trips and is well known for its fabulous seafood restaurants.

This is the best holiday home we have ever rented. Warm, comfortable, fully fitted with every single item you could actually require. There was nothing that we needed that wasnt there. The house was beautifully decorated for Xmas and little added extras provided fabulous. We had 3 dogs with us and they were delighted with the wonderful enclosed garRead moreden and the hamper of treats. The bedding was crisp and spotless and the towels plentiful and fluffy.. and what a shower will definitely be back. Tom, Clare and Mike are so helpful. Hide

A lovely house, very spacious and comfortable. Our dogs enjoyed the good sized secure garden. The area is fabulous with many sandy beaches a short distance away. Most were dog friendly. Very quiet and peaceful. Hope to return in the future.

Cant fault this accommodation, spotlessly clean & had everything we needed. Tom & Clare were at hand if we needed them for anything. Sky TV, sports & movies were a bonus. Wi-Fi wasnt too bad, a bit hit & miss. Towels & bedding were also provided. Very peaceful location & a short walk down to the beach. The camp next door had a takeaway, shop & clubRead more. You will need a car to explore the surrounding areas but there is a bus that runs every hour that you can use. We spent a lovely three weeks there & will definitely return again. Hide
