Built from solid logs imported from Canada, this stunning detached lodge is located on a select countryside development and provides a lovely holiday home. With its vaulted roof, a second living room leading onto a first floor balcony, it looks out over a stream and meadow hillside. Paths from the nearby hamlet lead down the tidal creek, among the bird life and open air, down to the River Camel and the sea at Padstow. A paradise for walkers, cyclists and country lovers, Padstow with its beautiful harbour, winding streets and renowned restaurants should not be missed, especially for its foodie culture. Try one of the TV chef Rick Stein’s eateries, from a deli to a cookery school.
Padstow, sits at the mouth of the beautiful Camel Estuary, a sanctuary for wild birds, has plenty to offer, not least as its the start of the Camel Trail. A flat, former branch line railway that is now a multi-use trail that hugs the shore of the estuary as it flows inland. You can hire bikes on the quayside and cycle into Wadebridge, a lovely market town with local shops and cafés.
Golf courses, including Trevose, the Point and St Enedoc, are all excellent links courses and are close by. Stunning beaches, high cliffs, world class surf and hidden coves are all within 5 miles. The South West Coast Path passes nearby through some of the country’s most dramatic scenery, and the famous Eden Project is 15 miles away and an absolute must, especially the zip wire that propels you above the stunning biomes.
The pretty harbour village of Charlestown, a regular TV and film set, is easily reached within 30 minutes, and a great day out on the more subtle south coast. Shop 2 miles, pub and restaurant 1 mile.
