The Cow Shed

The Cow Shed is a converted 1-bedroom cottage at Engollan, near St Eval, sleeping 2 with 1 bathroom. The conversion sits in a rural setting between Mawgan Porth and Padstow, with a private garden and outdoor seating. It is a compact but self-contained base with a quiet countryside feel.

Inside, essentials are covered: wifi, parking, and a washing machine are included. No dishwasher, no BBQ, and no pets. The single bedroom and bathroom suit a couple rather than a larger group.

Bedruthan Steps - the dramatic north coast beach famous for its sea stacks, reached by steep cliff steps - is about 1 mile away. Porthcothan Bay, a sandy beach with rock pools at low tide, is about 1.5 miles. Mawgan Porth with its wide surfing beach, the Scarlet Hotel, and Bedruthan Hotel is under 2 miles. The South West Coast Path connects all three beaches from the cliff top. Padstow and the Camel Estuary are roughly 8 miles north by road.

**Best for:** couples wanting a quiet rural base with easy access to some of the north coast's most dramatic scenery - Bedruthan Steps is within cycling distance. **Less good for:** dog owners (no pets), families needing more than 1 bedroom, or anyone wanting to walk to village amenities - the nearest pub or shop requires a drive.
