Beachcombers

Beachcombers is a single-storey cottage on Jasmine Way in St Merryn, a village 2 miles south-west of Padstow in north Cornwall. The property has 3 bedrooms - a double, a twin, and a bunk room - with 1 bathroom, accommodating up to 6 guests.

All rooms are on one level. The bathroom has a bath with walk-in shower, basin, and WC. A living and dining room with a coal-effect fire connects to a conservatory that looks out onto the garden. The kitchen is separate and equipped with standard appliances including a dishwasher and washing machine. WiFi is available.

Outside, a large patio area with shrub beds provides space for sitting out. The garden is enclosed and suitable for families. The village has a Spar shop, Rick Stein's fish and chip shop, and the Cornish Arms pub within walking distance.

Porthcothan Bay Beach is 2.1 miles away - a sandy bay with dramatic sea stacks visible at high tide, dog-friendly year-round with parking and toilets. Treyarnon Bay, known for its natural rock swimming pool that forms at low tide, is 2.1 miles away. Padstow's harbour, restaurants, and the Camel Trail cycle path are a short drive or bike ride from the property.

Nearby: Porthcothan Bay Beach (2.1 miles) and Treyarnon Bay (2.1 miles). See our St Merryn guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

**Best for:** families with young children, given the enclosed garden and the single-storey layout with everything on one level. **Less good for:** larger parties, since the cottage has just one bathroom for up to 6 guests and no on-site parking.
