Sophanise

Sophanise is a single-level Nordic-style lodge for four on a 27-acre grassland holiday park near St Merryn. One double and one twin bedroom, with 3-foot twin beds, share a bathroom.

Sliding doors lead from the open-plan living area to an unenclosed patio, which matters for families with young children or dogs since there is no fencing. The site has a designated barbecue area and a children's play area, and parking and a washing machine are included. Dogs are not accepted. The dining table seats four, and the family bathroom has a shower over the bath. The kitchen has an electric cooker and a refrigerator. Outside there is a table and chairs for eating out, a shared grassed area and a seasonal bar on the site.

Porthcothan Bay Beach is 2.1 miles away, Treyarnon Bay is 2.4 miles and Harlyn Bay Beach is 2.5 miles from the park. Padstow, with its harbour, restaurants and shops, is about 2.5 miles away. The St Merryn guide covers the village and nearby beaches.

The lodge sleeps four across two bedrooms and has one bathroom and parking included.

**Best for:** a small family wanting a play area, separate twin room and several beaches within 2.5 miles. **Less good for:** guests needing step-free access or more than one bathroom.
