Fair Skies

Fair Skies is a four-bedroom cottage for eight near St Merryn, a village about 2 miles southwest of Padstow. Two bedrooms have fixed super-king beds, and the other two are zip-and-link rooms that convert to either a super-king or two singles. Every bedroom has air conditioning, and three bathrooms serve the group.

The Scandi-inspired interior pairs a wood burner with an open fire, giving two separate ways to keep the living space warm through the colder months. A hot tub, BBQ and garden add outdoor space for the warmer ones. Parking, EV charging, a dishwasher and washing machine are all included, and dogs are welcome. There is no Wi-Fi.

Harlyn Bay is 1.4 miles away, Treyarnon Bay is 1.5 miles and Trevone Bay is 1.6 miles from the cottage. Rick Stein's Cornish Arms pub, in St Merryn village itself, is 0.4 miles away, and Padstow's harbour, restaurants and the start of the Camel Trail cycle path are a short drive further on.

Fair Skies holds a 5 out of 5 rating, though from only three reviews, so the sample is too small to treat as a settled consensus.

**Best for:** families or friends wanting flexible beds, air conditioning, a hot tub, two fires and EV charging.

**Less good for:** guests who need Wi-Fi or step-free access.
