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 7.7km 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 8.1km. Porthcothan Bay is 8.4km to the south. Padstow itself, with its fish quay, seafood restaurants and independent shops, is around 6km by road. The Camel Trail - a 17-mile off-road cycling route running from Padstow to Bodmin - is accessible from Wadebridge, approximately 5km 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.
