Surrounded by beautiful countryside, this four-bedroom property has a contemporary yet cosy aesthetic, including subtle nods to the coast. Perfect for a group getaway, it lies 0.5 miles from Little Petherick, a lovely village with a 14th-century church and quaint granite cottages, set in a wooded valley. You can cycle or stroll along The Camel Trail (5 miles away), an 18-mile-long trail following the Camel Estuary from Padstow to Wadebridge before joining the wooded Camel Valley to Bodmin. Or for a laid-back day out, explore the fishing village of Padstow, synonymous with Rick Stein, and its historic harbour (3.5 miles) with plenty of excellent seaside restaurants. While there, why not take the pedestrian ferry to the charming town of Rock, renowned for its fabulous sandy beach?

Feel yourself relax as you enter the beautifully presented, spacious open-plan living/dining/kitchen area. It’s decorated in a calm, neutral palette and flooded with natural light from the bi-fold patio doors. Cleverly partitioned away from the kitchen by two large comfy sofas, you’ll find the lounge area, featuring a living flame-effect electric fire and a Smart TV. A large and inviting dining table occupies a prime spot next to the lounge area. Also on the ground floor, you’ll find a zip-and-link twin bedroom with an en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath, plus a separate WC. Upstairs, the serene king-size master bedroom has an en-suite shower room and French doors out to a spacious balcony where you can admire the rolling countryside views. A twin bedroom has access to a balcony with the same stunning outlook. There is also a family bathroom on this level, with a bath and separate shower cubicle. The second floor comprises a characterful twin bedroom underneath the eaves with large windows offering valley views.

Large French patio doors from the kitchen/diner open out onto a decked terrace, enclosed by wooden fencing and a cropped hedge. It’s a calm space that lends itself to alfresco meals and lazy afternoons. There is allocated parking for two cars within 50 metres of the property, plus additional visitor parking (subject to availability).

Amazing, cannot say enough positive things abouts Urchins Peak. Beautiful cottage, set in a the peaceful village of Little Petherick with outstanding views across the countryside. The level of equipment was unbelievable, we wanted for nothing, if we needed it, it was there and more besides, even had sharp kitchen knives which is pretty much unheaRead morerd of. The location is also perfect just 5/10 minutes from Padstow, Wadebridge, Harlyn and other beaches and then not far from A39 and A30 for quick access to other parts of Cornwall. Would not hesitate to stay again. It sets a very high bar for other places to live up to. Hide

Lovely spacious house, fully equipped. Good sized bathrooms and plenty of hot water. Great view over Little Petherick etc. Two bedrooms could do with a small wardrobe or hanging rail.

This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location, around two miles from the centre of beautiful Padstow. The cottage is very well equipped. We had a fabulous family stay here, seven of us including a toddler. Would definitely highly recommend.
