Rosemary Cottage

Two-bedroom dog-friendly cottage at Edmonton, a quiet hamlet 2 miles west of Wadebridge on the way to Rock. Sleeps two, with an open fire and a 9.5 rating from 11 guest reviews.

The cottage suits a couple who want a second bedroom for kit, guests, or a dog's basket. One bathroom serves both rooms. The kitchen has a dishwasher and washing machine; Wi-Fi runs throughout, and the open fire is laid for cooler evenings. Honest caveat: this is country lanes territory, so a car helps - the nearest pub and shop are a short drive, not a walk.

Edmonton sits on the north bank of the Camel Estuary. The Camel Trail, the flat 18-mile former-railway path from Padstow to Bodmin, is a short drive away. Padstow is 8 miles west for Rick Stein's restaurants and the harbour; Rock and Polzeath sit across the estuary, with the Padstow passenger ferry from Rock. Daymer Bay and Polzeath beaches are 7 miles. Wadebridge town centre - independent shops, Eddy's Pasties, The Relish cafe - is a 5-minute drive.

Best for a couple with a dog wanting countryside quiet plus a real fire, with the Camel Trail and north-coast beaches all within a short drive. Less good for anyone wanting walking-distance pubs or a sea view.
