Willow Cottage

Willow Cottage is a two-bedroom cottage in the centre of St Merryn, sleeping four in one king-size room and one twin, with one bathroom. The village-centre position means the pub and shops are a short walk rather than a drive.

The lounge has low ceilings - characterful, but worth noting for taller guests - along with a Smart TV, an open fire and a wood burner, giving the cottage two fires for the colder months. French doors lead from the kitchen and dining area to a tiered patio garden. Parking, a dishwasher and a washer/dryer are included, and dogs are welcome.

St Merryn sits among a run of sandy bays, and three are close: Harlyn Bay Beach is 1.4 miles away, Treyarnon Bay is 1.6 miles and Trevone Bay is 1.6 miles. Padstow is 3 miles away for restaurants and harbour walks. Upstairs, the double room and the twin, which has floor-level windows, share a shower room, and a cloakroom with a WC sits on the ground floor. A side patio with garden furniture sits beside the tiered patio garden.

**Best for:** a small family wanting village facilities on foot, two fires, a tiered garden and several beaches within a short drive.

**Less good for:** tall guests bothered by low ceilings, and anyone needing step-free accommodation.
