Meadow Cottage Cannalidgey

Meadow Cottage Cannalidgey sits on a working sheep farm near St Issey in north Cornwall, about 2 miles south of Padstow. The cottage sleeps 6 across two bedrooms - a family room with a double and two single beds, plus a twin - with one bathroom serving the ground floor.

Inside, a wood burner anchors the open-plan lounge, making it a practical base for shoulder-season breaks when the coast is quieter. The kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher and washing machine. Outside, an enclosed lawned garden with a patio and BBQ is south-facing and sheltered from the farm fields.

Two dogs are welcome but must stay on leads across the working sheep farm. Parking for two cars is on site. Trevone Bay is 4.8 miles away - a sandy north-facing beach with rock pools at low tide. Daymer Bay is about 5 miles, a sheltered family beach at the Camel Estuary mouth. Padstow harbour, Rick Stein's restaurants, and the Camel Trail cycle path are all reachable in around 10 minutes by car.

The Camel Trail, an 18-mile off-road route along a disused railway line, connects Wadebridge (3 miles southeast) to Padstow and onwards to Bodmin. The trail starts in Wadebridge, making this cottage a convenient base for cyclists and walkers alongside families visiting the north Cornwall coast.

**Best for:** Families of up to 6 wanting a rural farm setting with outdoor space, a wood burner, and easy access to Padstow and the north Cornwall beaches. Two dogs welcome.

**Less good for:** Guests wanting to walk to the beach or the village - the countryside setting requires a car for most outings.
