The Bower, Padstow

This light and airy property, moments from beautiful Trevone Bay, is a real home from home for families or friends to share. Sleeping eight guests across four bedrooms, plus two canine companions, it is spacious and stylishly furnished. Thoughtful extras include table tennis and a pool table. A farm shop and pub are moments away and there are more shops, cafes and restaurants in the pretty fishing port of Padstow, just 2 miles away. Touches of blue in this welcoming holiday bungalow add a seaside air. The lounge houses a large corner sofa, a wood burner and a pool table, along with games and books. Leading off is the kitchen with a breakfast bar and a lovely, light-filled dining area overlooking the garden. There are four attractive bedrooms: a king-size, two twins and a bunk room for children only. A bathroom, shower room and utility room with a tumble dryer complete the interior. Outside is a separate entrance for beachgoers in wetsuits, as well as water for rinsing sandy feet or paws and a storage shed for beach equipment. The large rear garden has a patio with wooden furniture and table tennis. Trevone is one of several golden sandy beaches beloved by families and surfers on this stretch of Cornwall’s magnificent north coast. While tail waggers at Trevone are restricted to early morning and evening walks in the summer season, nearby Harlyn, Treyarnon and Constantine Bays, are dog friendly throughout the year. Head for Padstow and the bustling harbour, with its colourful fishing boats. Sea trips on offer include a wildlife safari, where you can spot seals, and a voyage along the coast aboard the veteran Jubilee Queen. Other attractions include the scenic Camel Trail for walkers and cyclists, and Prideaux Place, a fine Elizabethan manor house.
