Tamar

Tamar is a contemporary single-storey bungalow for eight on the edge of St Merryn, a village about 2 miles southwest of Padstow. Two super-king zip-and-link beds can each convert to twins on request, and a further super-king and a double complete the four bedrooms. Five bathrooms give the house more bathrooms than bedrooms, useful for a group sharing.

The bungalow has a garden and a barbecue, and parking, a dishwasher and washing machine are included. Up to three dogs can stay. There is no Wi-Fi, so this suits a group happy to disconnect for the week.

Harlyn Bay, more sheltered and better for families than the surf beaches nearby, is about 1.1 miles away. Trevone Bay, with its natural tidal rock pool, and Treyarnon Bay are each roughly 1.4 miles from the house. St Merryn village has a Spar shop, a fish and chip shop and the Cornish Arms pub, and Padstow's harbour and restaurants are a short drive away.

Tamar holds a 4 out of 5 rating from 18 reviews, with host Thomas's letting agent rating cleanliness, equipment and comfort four out of five each.

**Best for:** eight guests wanting five bathrooms, flexible super-king beds, a garden and three nearby bays within a couple of miles. **Less good for:** guests needing Wi-Fi, step-free access, EV charging, a hot tub or an on-site pool.
