Penwhine

Penwhine is a 4-bedroom house in St Merryn, sleeping 8 across a king-size room, a double, a twin, and a bunk room. The ground-floor lounge has a wood burner for cooler evenings, and the kitchen and dining area seats all 8. The top-floor king bedroom has vaulted ceilings and a window seat - the most private room in the house.

Outside, an enclosed garden with a BBQ and patio dining for 6 makes it a practical base for a group holiday with al fresco meals. EV charging is available on site, which is still relatively uncommon for rural Cornish rentals. Parking for multiple vehicles is included.

The nearest beaches are all within the Seven Bays area - Treyarnon Bay is 1.2 miles, Harlyn Bay 1.4 miles, and Constantine Bay 1.5 miles. The Harlyn Surf School operates from Harlyn Bay in season. Padstow, with its range of restaurants including Rick Stein’s original seafood restaurant on the quay, is under 4 miles.

Rated 4.0 from 13 reviews, with a cleanliness score of 3 - worth noting if this matters to your group. Dog-friendly. Wood burner, BBQ, dishwasher, and washing machine all included. No WiFi.

Suits groups of 6-8 wanting a base for North Cornwall beach-hopping and a Padstow dinner or two. Not great for anyone who needs WiFi, or who wants sea views from the property.
