Cornwall. Sleeps up to 10

A modern masterpiece that beautifully combines original features with contemporary comforts, Little Petherick Coach House is a newly renovated three-story home just outside the quaint town of Padstow.

As you arrive at the house, electric wooden gates welcome you and lead onto your private driveway, giving you a grand welcome to an unforgettable stay! Inside, you are met be the cosy and warm lounge, with several comfy sofas in front of the large log fire. Throughout the cottage you will find many of its original features including ceiling beams and archways, creating a rustic and charming aesthetic, alongside a fabulous array of modern amenities and styles! Beside the warm and welcoming lounge is the large kitchen with an original pantry and space for several chefs and state-of-the-art appliances which truly make cooking a dream. The spacious dining area beside this has a beautiful dining table to seat ten and patio doors allowing the warm, natural light to flood the room and creates a magnificent environment for the perfect get-together! A hidden games room above the garage with a pool tables and Wii console is great for entertaining the kids and big kids alike!

There are five sumptuous bedrooms across the first and second floors, offering a slice of peace, space and privacy, with fresh, lively designs and supremely comfortable facilities. There are five king size beds, two of which can be prepared as twin beds, several rooms even including an ensuite bathroom. The master suite even features a stunning glass balcony with slate flooring and breath-taking country views and even a glimpse of Padstow’s estuary. With a Double Omni Tub in the first-floor family bathroom, you can soak away your worries and relax in style!

And finally, step into your large enclosed garden for an idyllic piece of serenity and breath-taking Cornish country views! A huge open patio is fantastic for enjoying alfresco dining, sun-bathing and simply relaxing in the fresh sea-side air! With so much space both inside and out, the home is perfect for large family gatherings, complete with a coal fired barbeque and ideally set up for entertaining!

This magnificent rural retreat with effortless coastal access is a stone’s throw from the quaint town of Padstow, where you’ll find several shops, cafés and the beautiful sea. 

Huge skies, glistening beaches and wild flower-strewn clifftops are rightfully the lasting images of Cornwall, and its warm climate, amazing scenery, and diverse Celtic heritage, including the arts and its enormous wealth of archaeology, certainly justifies the fierce pride of its people.

Famous for its water-sports, in particular surfing and sailing, Cornwall also offers an incredible rock-climbing scene, off-road cycling (including the 18 mile ‘Camel Trail’ following the scenic estuary of the river Camel) and of course, walking. The South West Coast Path, which runs for hundreds of miles along the West Country southern coastline, is particularly scenic around Penwith and the Lizard in the far south-west, venturing through vibrant towns, remote cliffs, beaches, farms and fishing villages. Another incredible walking path is the 125-mile Cornish Celtic Way, mapped by a local 55-year-old clergyman, which will show you a wilder, even more romantic side of this luscious county.

Be sure to try a Cornish pasty and delicious sweet Saffron buns, and of course a little Cornish Clotted cream and Ice Cream! And for a local tipple, the three major breweries of St Austell, Sharps and Skinners serve excellent beer in pubs throughout the county, and because of its mild climate Cornwall has a number of vineyards producing delicious wine, and is even known for its production of honey wine!

Though the magic of the county really happens in the rural Cornish landscape, there are many enchanting towns in Cornwall. Some famous ones include: Bude with its excellent beaches, first class surfing and laidback, relaxed vibe on the north coast; Newquay, the surfing capital of the UK, and; St Ives, the home of one branch of the Tate Gallery, with white sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters.

If you must visit a city (for a little retail therapy, or perhaps to see a show) the only one in the county is Truro, with High Tea at Charlotte's offering an unmissable experience, in a charming Victorian building serving Cornish-grown tea! There are two covered markets, one of which sells eco/organic products, and on Saturday mornings there’s a great farmers' market on the piazza where you can find local produce.

To get in, there are ever-improving roads and trains running right through to Penzance in the far south-west of the county, as well as Cornwall Airport Newquay (NQY) about 5 miles from Newquay, or a 30-40-minute drive from Truro. The nearby airports of Exeter (EXT) and Bristol (BRS) offer a wider range of flights than Newquay and will usually be significantly cheaper. Car hire is available at all three airports.
