18 Raleigh Close, Padstow

Tranquil holiday home in a peaceful cul-de-sac location, just 1 mile from Padstow’s lively harbour. With beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters and endless water sports, this holiday home makes the perfect base for a group of eight and their two happy hounds. After long days of clambering around rock pools and building sandcastle forts, hit the pause button when you come back to this delightful property. Pour yourself a drink and rest weary limbs on the cushy seating in the open-plan lounge/diner. Watch SkyTV, play a board game or read a few pages of the available books while your elected head chef finds their feet in the shaker-style kitchen. Let the sea breeze flow through the room by throwing open the doors leading to the enclosed garden while you prepare another round of drinks for time on the sun loungers. When it’s time to turn in, four welcoming bedrooms offer a peaceful night’s sleep, including a king-size with en-suite shower room, two doubles and one twin. All rooms have plenty of space for beach wear, and a bathroom with a shower over the bath. There’s plenty to do in this extraordinary part of Cornwall which is sure to cater to everyone’s tastes. Treat yourself to a fine dining sensation at Michelin-starred restaurant Paul Ainsworth At No6, or visit the world-renowned dining experience of Rick Stein. Satisfy your appetite for adventure with a fishing trip, trek along the South West Coast Path or cycle the Camel Trail to Wadebridge (6 miles). While away the hours at many glorious beaches, including Constantine Bay, Haryln, Hawker’s Cove and Trevone Bay, all within 5 miles of the property.
