Nearby
Situated on a quiet country lane within easy reach of Porthcothan Bay and surrounded by open fields, approximately a 15 minute walk to the beach. Just down the lane you can find Macdonald’s Farm, a lovely family place serving wood fired pizzas in the evening and a great bar, and a cafe in the daytime – open all summer season. There is also a bus stop at the end of the lane which runs links to Padstow or Newquay so easy for trips out and about if you don’t want to drive.
The beach at Porthcothan Bay is within a mile down the road, a 15 minute walk away. Porthcothan is a sheltered sandy beach nicely tucked in between Padstow and Newquay. There is a cafe/shop in the dunes, plus parking and toilets are both situated just over the road. Located in the midst of the ‘seven bays for seven days’ you have a stunning choice of beaches within a few miles if you want to vary your beach days, with Mawgan Porth or Watergate Bay close by, home to the Extreme Academy for water sports adventurers. Or head up to Treyarnon Bay or Constantine for miles more stretches of golden sands, a huge range within 10 minutes.
There are also several scenic walks on the doorstep along the South West Coast Path, including Bedruthan Steps within a couple of miles, a simply beautiful coastal walk which is a must!
Layout
With accommodation arranged on one floor, the entrance opens to a useful porch area to pile your shoes and coats out of the way. Through to the kitchen and dining room, a light space with beautiful views and dining space for four guests.

Patio doors at the front of the room open to the garden, filling the room with natural light and warmth and looking out across the rolling fields.
From the inner hall you have the contemporary shower room, with shower enclosure, toilet and basin.
