Little Egret, Padstow is a welcoming mid-terrace cottage nestled in a peaceful spot where countryside charm meets town convenience. The cosy living area greets you with two comfortable sofas arranged around a wall-mounted TV and electric flame-effect fireplace, creating a warm retreat after days exploring the coast. The open-plan kitchen and dining area comes fully equipped with everything needed for self-catering ease, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge / freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine, alongside a dining table perfect for leisurely breakfasts and family suppers.
Step outside from the kitchen to discover the enclosed sun terrace, a peaceful paved space backing onto open fields where outdoor furniture invites relaxed al fresco dining throughout the day. Upstairs, two bright bedrooms provide restful accommodation: the double room features a wall-mounted TV and comfortable storage, whilst the twin room offers flexible sleeping arrangements with two single beds. A stylish modern bathroom with bath and shower over completes the thoughtful layout. Private parking for one car adds practical convenience to your Padstow stay.
Picture sun-drenched mornings on your private terrace, coffee in hand as birdsong drifts across the fields behind. Afternoons unfold with possibilities: cycle the flat Camel Trail, watch fishing boats bob in the working harbour just 600 metres downhill, or claim your spot on the sand at one of North Cornwall's glorious beaches. As evening settles, wander back uphill to fire up supper, perhaps after sampling Rick Stein's famous seafood or Paul Ainsworth's creative cooking, then sink into the sofa as the fireplace flickers warmly.
