An Skyber

An Skyber is a renovated 2-bedroom cottage near St Breock in the Wadebridge area, sleeping 4 with a king-size and a double bedroom. Note that you access the double bedroom via the king-size room on the upper floor - a layout suited to a family or guests who know each other well rather than two independent couples. Two sets of French doors in the open-plan living area open onto an enclosed patio garden, and a balcony terrace off the master bedroom gives an elevated view over the garden.

The cottage has been renovated to a modern standard with contemporary fittings. WiFi, parking, a dishwasher, and a washing machine are included. The 18-mile Camel River Trail, which runs between Padstow and Bodmin through the Camel Valley, passes through Wadebridge 2 miles to the east - flat and accessible cycling for all ages. Bikes can be hired in Wadebridge.

Polzeath Beach is 8.7km away - a popular surf beach with consistent Atlantic swells on the north Cornish coast. Daymer Bay, a calmer estuary beach suited to younger children, is 7.7km. Rock, with its sailing facilities and waterfront restaurants, is in the same area. Rated 5/5 from 13 reviews. Suits families or two adults travelling with children who want a modern, well-equipped base with cycling and beach options close by. Less good for two independent couples who need separate bedroom access - the double bedroom is only reachable via the king-size room. Two dogs accepted.
