Bumbles

Bumbles is a two-bedroom cottage on Sarahs View in Padstow, a fishing harbour town on the Camel Estuary in north Cornwall. The property is dog-friendly and has an allocated parking space - a practical advantage in a town where summer parking is limited.

The cottage has a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, with a bathroom containing a bath and shower over. An open-plan living space combines the kitchen, dining area, and sitting area with a log-effect electric fire. The kitchen includes a coffee maker, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and washer/dryer. Smart TV, DVD player, and WiFi are provided, along with books, games, and DVDs.

An enclosed rear courtyard garden has seating and a Weber barbecue. Additional seating at the front gives a second outdoor space. Two small dogs are welcome but must stay downstairs. Trevone Bay, a sandy beach with RNLI lifeguards and a natural blowhole on the western cliffs, is 1.7 miles away. Daymer Bay Beach, a sheltered estuary beach at the mouth of the Camel with calm shallow water, is 1.9 miles.

Padstow's harbour, Rick Stein's restaurants, and the Camel Trail cycle path (18 miles to Bodmin) are all within walking distance. The shop is 0.3 miles away and the nearest pub 0.4 miles.

Nearby: Trevone Bay (1.7 miles) and Daymer Bay Beach (1.9 miles). See our Padstow guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for couples or a small family travelling with a dog, thanks to the wood burner and enclosed courtyard garden, though dogs must stay downstairs. Less suited to guests needing step-free access, since the cottage is not wheelchair accessible.
