Forget-me-not

Forget-me-not is a two-bedroom cottage on the outskirts of St Columb Major, a market town 8 miles from Newquay. The property sleeps 4 in reverse-level accommodation, with the living area on the ground floor, the bedrooms below, and an enclosed garden.

The ground floor has an open-plan living area with fitted kitchen, dining space, sitting area with gas fire, and a balcony. A cloakroom with basin and WC is on this level. Two bedrooms - one king-size, one twin - sit on the lower ground floor, along with a bathroom that has both a bath and a separate walk-in shower. Shared external utility provides washing machines and tumble dryers. A travel cot and highchair are available.

Private enclosed lawned garden and patio with furniture sit outside, with communal gardens and an outdoor play area beyond. A shared games room has a pool table and table football. Off-road parking is provided for one car, and the nearest shop and pub are 1.1 miles away. Mawgan Porth beach is 5.2 miles away, with Watergate Bay - 2 miles of sand with surf schools and restaurants - at 5.3 miles.

St Columb Major sits at the junction of the A39 and A3059, putting Newquay's beaches 15 minutes away by car and Padstow about 20 minutes. The town is known for Hurling the Silver Ball, a game played through the streets on Shrove Tuesday dating back to the 1590s. The Screech Owl Sanctuary is a mile south of town.

Nearby: Mawgan Porth (5.2 miles) and Watergate Bay (5.3 miles). See our St Columb guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

**Best for:** families wanting on-site entertainment, given the outdoor play area, the shared games room with pool table and table football, and the enclosed garden. **Less good for:** dog owners, since the property does not accept dogs.
