Luxury barn conversion cottage with views over Padstow, Camel Estuary and sea

Additional Info: Padstow is just a 25 mins walk or 10 min cycle ride away along the beautiful Camel Trail - a former railway along the edge of the Camel Estuary. Padstow, home to Rick Stein's famous Seafood Restaurant, has lots of other excellent restaurants (including Rick Stein's St Petroc Bistro and Cafe), interesting shops (particularly clothes shops), boats for hire, boat trips, walks etc. The trendy boating resort of Rock is reached by a passenger ferry from Padstow. Rock has a further selection of shops, great bars and restaurants (apparently frequented by Hugh Grant, Kate Moss, Princes William and Harry etc). Wadebridge, with an excellent array of shops, restaurants etc is a 5 mile level cycle ride on the Camel Trail.

Other Things to Do: The owners do not tend to do very much when staying at this property. A typical day involves a walk into Padstow, letting the kids fish for crabs on the jetty, eating Cornish Pasties and Cornish Ice Cream for lunch then catching the ferry to Rock and going on the beach. However, The incredible Eden Project is half an hour away. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are 45 mins away. North Cornwall's marvellous surfing beaches are just minutes away. The vibrant resort of Newquay (with its airport and flights to Stansted, Gatwick, Bristol, Southampton and Scilly Isles) is 10 miles away. St Ives' Tate Gallery and excellent beaches are an hour away. Plymouth & Truro are both under an hour away. There are several local visitor farms - notably The Shires just three miles away which has a huge soft play area ideal for young children. Port Isaac, 20 mins north, is the most picturesque fishing harbour and town. Tintagel with its ruined abbey and King Arthur legend connections is 0,5h to the north.
