Cherry Cottage Cannalidgey

Cherry Cottage sits on a working sheep farm at Cannalidgey in the parish of St Issey, North Cornwall. The stone-built property sleeps 6 across 2 bedrooms - a family room with 1 double and 2 single beds, and a separate twin - making it more flexible than a standard 2-bedroom cottage for mixed groups. The enclosed garden has a furnished patio and charcoal BBQ, and the surrounding farmland means there is no immediate road noise.

The cottage has WiFi, a dishwasher and washing machine. 1 dog is welcome. There is no wood burner, so those wanting a fire for autumn or winter stays should check seasonal availability. Parking is on-site.

Trevone Bay is 4.8 miles to the north-west - a wide sandy beach near Padstow with reliable parking and a natural rock pool. Daymer Bay, at the mouth of the Camel Estuary, is 5 miles. Porthcothan Bay is 5.2 miles to the south. Padstow itself, with its fish quay, seafood restaurants and independent shops, is around 3.7 miles by road. The Camel Trail - a 17-mile off-road cycling route running from Padstow to Bodmin - is accessible from Wadebridge, approximately 3.1 miles away.

This suits a family or two couples who want a rural farmland base with multiple North Cornwall beaches reachable in under 15 minutes by car. The flexible sleeping layout - with a family room combining a double and two singles - makes it practical for families with children of different ages. Less good for those needing to be walking distance from a beach or village - St Issey is a small inland parish and a car is essential for all outings. 1 dog is the limit, so those travelling with 2 or more dogs should look elsewhere.
