Overview
Property code: OC-P00607

Situated a stroll away from the centre of St Merryn, Willow Cottage is the perfect place for a couples or family getaway. Furnished to a high standard and offering everything you could need including parking, garden and a woodburner for those chillier months Willow Cottage won’t disappoint.

St Merryn has so much to offer- surf hire shop, convenience store, garage, many fantastic restaurants including Rick Steins- The Cornish Arms and of course the ever popular Barnecutts bakery. Being only a couple of miles from Padstow and having the likes of Harlyn and Constantine bay a short drive away makes this a great village to base yourself anytime of the year.

Willow Cottage is exactly the type of holiday home I love. A tradition white pebble-dash Villa style cottage , modernised in every way inside, and a pretty little garden that makes the most of the sun no matter what the time of day. It was so clean and welcoming, both when we arrived and at the end of every sightseeing day. This visit we went to Read moreBoscastle, Bude, Constantine Bay, Port Isaac, St Mawes, and Padstow by bus for a Rick Steins Fish and Chips lunch in his shop. Malcolm Barnecautts - the Bakery 500 yds down the road from Willow Cottage is just wonderful - for Pasties, cakes, bread and mixed-choice Salad bowls from the take away salad bar , fresh every day. Their jam doughnuts are heavenly. The Farmers Arms at the crossroads in St Merryn is convivial and serves good food. Approachable, friendly and caring owners at Willow Cottage. What more can I add?

A very well designed and appointed property. Close proximity to over ten beaches from 1 mile to ten miles distance away as well as the "busy" towns of Padstow and Newquay if so inclined. We have stayed in many properties over decades and this ranks highly amongst them. There are many options to eat out nearby in the village or nearby Padstow, MawgRead morean Porth, St Mawgan or St Issey. We have already booked for a return visit. A thoughtful welcome pack.....including your dog if you have one. Hide

We absolutely love Willow Cottage. It is the perfect home-from-home for us. It is always spotlessly clean on arrival which is so welcoming after a 5hr journey.

Amazing time trick or treating around the village. Storm Ciaran was a a force to be reckoned with - but very much an experience. Loved every day of our holiday, Camel Creek, Bodmin Jail and Lands End, also our walks along the coast and beaches. Went to the Farmers Arms most days for food and games. Great cottage, we will be back!
