Overview
Property code: OC-P00449

This grade II listed building dating as far back as the 1820s is steeped in history. Originally the village Methodist Chapel, it then became the Sunday School. Despite the recent modernisation, the property has retained many of the original features inside and out including the high level arched windows and slate hung facade. In contrast the finish is minimalist, enhanced by the focal staircase which is based on a similar design in Padstow harbour. The Old Sunday School is finished to a high specification, offering spacious but cosy accommodation, complimented by the log burner in the mezzanine lounge area. The location of the unspoiled village of Rumford is in a rural area so many country walks on the doorstep, but also within easy driving distance of several well-known sandy beaches, and the old fishing port Padstow. A visit to this property is a must for those looking for a relaxing stay with a difference!

One of the nicest cottages weve stayed in. Warm, clean and cosy with ample amenities. Perfect location, 12 mins drive from padstow. Parking space is tight but we have a big 4x4 and it was no problem. Would definitely recommend this cottage!

Very pleased with our choice. Well equipped, clean and comfortable. Location is very quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of Cornwall in the holiday period but this suited us. Within easy driving distance of the main attractions. Lovely shower and bathroom. Beds comfortable but as previously mentioned the double is low to the ground. UpstairRead mores lounge a lovely space and very cosy when the log burner is lit. Stairs are open plan which our 2 little dogs did not like at all. They had to be carried up and down, (which they were very happy with!) Tea , coffee and biscuits a welcome treat on arrival. Overall good value for money and ideal if you want a chilled, quiet week away. Hide

Beautiful converted Sunday School in the most idyllic countryside setting. Very quiet but not too far from places like Padstow and Newquay.

The location of the cottage was good and one of the reason we picked this property as easy to reach all the beaches. Unfortunately we wouldnt choose to stay here again. Mainly due to the fact that the dog hated the stairs as its open steps and we had to carry her up each time we wanted to use the living space. We also found the parking( which iRead moresnt really a space but on a side of a junction?) and outdoor space not to be that ideal with the children. Something we will think better about next time. Its a nice enough space. I just think we have stayed in a few now in Cornwall and it didnt really meet the mark. Hide

Excellent location but note that the main double bed is quite low. Also we found there to be a gap on top of the stairs which dog paws easily slipped through. Be aware if you have a small dog or children. Neighbour was also a bit passive aggressive about venturing onto their non-signposted private road next door!

Cottage was clean and warm, lovely quiet location, but just 20 minutes away from Newquay/Padstow/Port Isaac. Lovely beach/cove 6 minutes for evening stroll with dogs/children. Well equipped, comfy pillows/duvets. My only comment would be the master double bed is very low (IKEA type) so not at all good for morning mobility issues.

Lovely holiday home, we were welcomed with a welcome pack of tea coffee and shortbread. The home was lovely and warm and so only used the wood burner one evening after a cold and wet walk out and we all wanted the warmth of the fire. All places we wanted to visit were no further than 40 minutes away and the garden is secure for dogs to roam around,Read more parking was easy at the property and the shower was powerful and hot. We will definitely stay here again. Hide
