Uppincot

Uppincot is a three-bedroom terraced house in Padstow with period character, sleeping six across three floors. Bedrooms run to a double, a twin, and a bunk room - a practical layout for a family with children of different ages. One bathroom serves all three bedrooms. An enclosed garden sits at the rear, and WiFi and a dishwasher are included. Dogs are not accepted. Street parking is available nearby.

Padstow's working harbour is within walking distance, with fish restaurants and independent shops concentrated along the quayside. The town has a year-round character that holds across winter, unlike some coastal spots that close down after October. The Black Tor ferry to Rock on the Camel Estuary's eastern bank runs in the warmer months, giving access to Daymer Bay from a different angle.

Sandy beaches in three directions within under 3.1 miles: Daymer Bay is 1.7 miles, Trevone Bay 1.7 miles, and Greenaway Beach 2.1 miles. The Camel Trail - an 18-mile traffic-free route converted from a Victorian railway line - begins at the northern edge of Padstow and runs to Bodmin. It covers both flat estuary sections and more elevated inland stretches. Bike hire is available in town. The Eden Project is 22 miles and typically a 35-minute drive.

Right for families of up to six who want Padstow's harbour town atmosphere at a reasonable price point. The bunk bedroom configuration suits younger children. Not great for adults-only groups who might find the bunk room impractical, or for those who need on-site parking as a fixed requirement.
