The Old Duck House

The Old Duck House is a one-bedroom barn conversion for two in Porthcothan Bay, with a king-size bed and a single bathroom. Underfloor heating runs throughout the conversion, and coastal walks are available directly from the doorstep.

WiFi, parking, a dishwasher, a washing machine and a garden are included, and up to two dogs can stay. The bathroom has a rain shower over the bath, and the living space has large glass patio doors. A utility space at the rear has a freezer and washing machine. There is no step-free access. The bedroom and bathroom are both on the ground floor, and a shop is within easy reach of the barn.

Porthcothan Bay is 0.6 miles away, a narrow inlet with no seasonal dog ban that stays popular with dog walkers year-round; at low tide the sand opens out to connect with smaller coves and rock pools nearby. Treyarnon Bay is 1.3 miles from the barn and Constantine Bay is 1.9 miles away. Padstow, around five miles to the north, and the Camel Trail are also within reach for a longer day out.

**Best for:** A couple wanting underfloor heating, laundry facilities, a dog-friendly beach on the doorstep and room for two dogs.

**Less good for:** Guests expecting step-free access.
