The Loft

A one-bedroom loft conversion apartment in the centre of Wadebridge, sleeping two in a double bed. The top-floor position gives views across the town's rooftops towards the Camel Estuary - a distinctive outlook for a town-centre property.

Inside, the open-plan layout has one bedroom and a bathroom. The conversion keeps the apartment compact and functional rather than spacious. Wi-Fi and a washing machine are included. From £398 per week.

Wadebridge sits at the head of the Camel Estuary, and the Camel Trail starts here - 17 miles of flat off-road cycling and walking to Padstow in one direction and Bodmin in the other. The town has a leisure centre with a pool, a two-screen cinema, tennis courts in the park, and a full high street with independent shops. The nearest beach is Daymer Bay at 5 miles, a sheltered estuary-mouth beach that suits paddleboards and families. Rock and Polzeath are a short drive further.

Best for couples who want a base for cycling the Camel Trail and day-tripping the north Cornwall coast - Padstow, Rock, and Polzeath are all within 20 minutes. Less good for those wanting a quiet rural retreat - this is a town-centre flat above the high street, and there is no parking with the cottage.
