Introduction

Situated in a tranquil location on the edge of the tidal creek in Little Petherick, Kingfishers offers a perfect retreat, nestled amidst the Saints Way footpath which meanders along the river into Padstow, a beautiful walk into the bustling harbour town. This cosy cottage features an open plan living area opening to a riverside terrace where you can relax with the sight and sound of the wildlife and water flowing. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, the master including a balcony with elevated views over the creek. Kingfishers is simply a lovely base to unwind, within easy reach of the nearby town of Padstow and the surrounding area of natural beauty.

Nearby

Little Petherick is quaint village, located just outside of Padstow, perfect to escape the hustle and bustle of the nearby towns. Whilst the village itself is quite small, there are some lovely spots to eat and drink very close by; closest being The Old Mill House Bistro. A mile up the road to St Issey there are two more pubs to choose from, The Ring ’o’ Bells in the village centre, or The Pickwick Inn which serves delicious food whilst overlooking the Camel Estuary.

Little Petherick is positioned on the Saints Way, a scenic walking route offering a picturesque walk along the riverside into the beautiful harbour town of Padstow (otherwise a few minutes in the car). The winding streets of Padstow hide a plentiful number of pleasant surprises. This bustling town offers a vast variety of food from Rick Stein’s fine dining restaurants to fresh homemade pasties. If you’re feeling adventurous you could catch a sea life safari from the harbour or enjoy scenic views of the estuary cycling to Wadebridge for lunch along the flat Camel Trail.

Layout

Kingfishers is a delightful bolt hole with an open plan living area on the ground floor which opens to the rear decked terrace overlooking the river. Adjacent to the living area is an en-suite bedroom which includes twin beds (2’6” single beds, slightly narrower than a standard single) and an en-suite shower room. A quirky spiral staircase leads up to the naturally light first floor which comprises a bathroom with a bath and shower attachment, and a spacious king size double bedroom opening to a balcony with a gorgeous view so you can wake up to the sight of swans gliding down the river!

The main terrace from the living area offers a brilliant space to relax and absorb the beautiful scenery whilst dining al fresco. Or wake up and say hello to the resident swans first thing from the master bedroom balcony with gorgeous views down the river.

“We spent a very enjoyable and relaxing week at this cottage, it has everything you need, Its also warm when the days may turn cold, has a lovely out look over the creek with various types of birds – especially the Egrets and we often heard the owl at night. Very comfortable beds, good equipped kitchen, good shower and good to have a parking space. All in all a wonderful place to stay to enjoy the picturesque corner of Cornwall.  Will definitely be returning.”
