We had a great week at Little Birds. Good location for visiting many local beaches and Padstow. Several good eating places in the village and local vicinity. The enclosed back garden was great for our dog and always provided some shade on really hot days.

Absolutely Lovely bungalow in lovely location the village of St Merryn is nice and quiet has a well equipped village store and fabulous bakery and Fish and Chip shop but be warned the roads from the A39 to be village of St Merryn are very narrow, very hilly and with numerous sharp blind bends so care should be taken when travelling along the roads Read morefrom the A39 to St Merryn Hide

This property has the potential to be stunning but unfortunately it needs quite a bit of updating. The showers and gardens in particular. We couldn't sit in the garden due to the old and green mossy chairs and tables. Showers were leaking and coming away from the wall. The house is big, airy and bright and has everything you need. You can use the gRead morearage to store your beach things which was great for the boards and boats we took as we didn't have to blow them up each day. For the money we expected more. Response from Holidaycottages.co.uk:- Thank you for your feedback - The owner has replaced the outside table and chairs and has fixed the shower. Hide
