Hillside Trevone

Hillside Trevone is a five-bedroom house for ten in Trevone, on the north Cornwall coast about 2 miles west of Padstow. Sea views reach the top floor, and three separate living areas, including one with a multi-use games table, give a large group room to spread out rather than share one lounge.

Two bedrooms have super-king-size zip-and-link beds that convert to twins on request; the others hold a double, a twin and an adult-suitable bunk room, plus an additional double sofa bed on the ground floor, though the booking capacity stays at 10. Five en-suite shower rooms serve the house, and the kitchen has a range cooker and dishwasher. Soundproofing throughout helps when several living areas are in use at once.

Outside, an enclosed garden is designed with children and pets in mind, with a barbecue and parking for three cars. Dogs are welcome. Trevone Bay is 300 metres away, with its natural round rock pool at the southern end. Harlyn Bay Beach is 1.1 miles along the coast path and Mother's Ivey Bay 1.7 miles, while Padstow itself is just over 2 miles by road.

**Best for:** groups of up to 10 wanting five bathrooms, multiple living areas and a beach 300 metres from the door.

**Less good for:** guests needing step-free access.
