Shotwood

Shotwood is a detached two-bedroom cottage on the edge of Little Petherick village, sleeping four in a king-size and twin bedroom layout. The interior is contemporary in finish with a clean, considered aesthetic, while the detached position means no shared walls and no noise from neighbouring properties. Parking is on-site and the property is dog-friendly throughout.

The enclosed rear garden is a practical space in any weather: a sunken lawn with raised decking, pergola, outdoor furniture, and a BBQ provide options for eating and sitting outside. The garden connects directly to the surrounding countryside without passing shared areas, which suits guests travelling with dogs or young children who need a secure outdoor run.

Three beaches are within easy reach of Little Petherick. Trevone Bay is 4.3km away - a sheltered sandy beach with a natural sea pool, less exposed than Harlyn and good for families with younger children. Harlyn Bay at 5.1km is better suited to bodyboarding, while Daymer Bay at 5.5km offers calmer estuary-side swimming. Padstow itself is 2 miles north, reachable by car or bike along the Camel Trail.

Good for families or couples wanting a quiet rural base with reliable beach access across different conditions. Not ideal if you need walking distance to shops or restaurants - Little Petherick has no amenities and Padstow is a short drive away.
