About this property

Luxury, romantic Cottage for 2 Nr Padstow with pretty garden and lovely views

Open the door to Little Byways and check-in to the luxury of coastal life in Cornwall. Ideally situated, just moments from Padstow and a host of golden sand beaches, this stylish contemporary cottage has been flawlessly created for couples to escape the bustle of everyday life. Soak up the coastal scenes from your holiday door and enjoy the luxury of the location as you step out into the natural playground of North Cornwall.

Ideally situated for exploring Cornwall, Little Byways is a newly created spacious cottage set over two floors with appealing open plan layout and inspiring luxury coastal style. Step straight into the heart of the home and immerse yourself in the wonderful sense of light, space and calm. The fully fitted modern kitchen has all you need to create the perfect holiday menu and, with Cornwall firmly on the foodie map, you can dine on the freshest of seafood, meat and artisan Cornish produce sourced just moments away. Dress the table for that special occasion or simply enjoy a lazy breakfast as you map out the days itinerary.

An open plan archway leads into the generous living space complete with vaulted glass ceiling which floods the room with natural light. The design ensures the beautiful coastal views are framed perfectly.
Cosy up beside the wood-burner in the cooler months or simply enjoy the luxury of a quiet afternoon and a favourite book on a summers day. This welcoming room has been beautifully styled with an inspired colour palette of fresh whites and muted greens whilst thoughtful artwork evokes the Cornish scenes surrounding Little Byways.

A contemporary bathroom is located on the ground floor with a deep bath, the perfect place to de-sand and de-salt after a day on the coast. A convenient utility room completes the lower level. Climb the stairs to the lofty location of the master bedroom and discover a sanctuary of comfort and calm. Breakfast in bed has never looked so appealing as you awake to the jackpot sea views leading across the fields and down to the water. A contemporary en-suite shower room with rain shower will refresh you ready for the day ahead.

The garden of Little Byways is truly a Cornish oasis. From the living space, slide back the tri-fold doors and welcome the outside in. Brimming with colour throughout the year, soak up the wonderful fresh air and sunshine as you stoke up the BBQ or fire pit and dine al fresco with only the nearby cows to disturb.

Whether you are new to the beauty of North Cornwall or it has long been a favourite family stomping ground, the central location of Little Byways is hard to beat. Breathe new life into your walking boots and head on foot from your holiday door down to the banks of the Camel Estuary. If eating out is on the agenda then you are well placed. Padstow is home to a number of award winning chefs including Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth serving the very best Cornish fare in inspired settings. From the finest of dining experiences to fish and chips on the quay, Padstow has it all. Fill your weekend with a host of adventures including surfing the waves at nearby Harlyn Bay, cycle the trail along the river bank to Wadebridge or Bodmin, take to the water in a kayak, learn to paddleboard or simply hit to coastal paths leading up and over some of the most beautiful seascapes in the county.

Escape the bustle of the coastal towns yet enjoy the luxury of a rural Cornish setting with first class holiday living. Book ahead for a relaxed honeymoon hideaway, map out a romantic weekend or simply pack an overnight bag for a last minute break, made-just-for-two.

We loved every moment of our relaxing stay at Little Byways, It was beautifully presented, comfortable, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The views are spectacular and the location is ideal for walking the coastal paths and exploring the surrounding area. Jane was friendly, responded quickly and we were made to feel very welcome. We would love to return in the future and would highly recommend this property. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Little Byways is a Perfection Plus Holiday Home. Jane introduced herself personally on our arrival and welcomed us with scones, jam and cream. The home is so comfortable with attention to detail everywhere you look. The washer/dryer was a bonus and the gorgeous garden was a nice area to relax at the end of a busy day sightseeing. The cows in the paddock visited every afternoon. This is easily the best home we have stayed in on our travels and the location was perfect. We travelled from Australia to holiday in Cornwall and our whole experience was wonderful. Thank you Jane and Roger. I highly recommend staying in Little Byways.

Cornwall gem

Had a lovely time returning to this fabulous property. So many places to visit along the coast and inland. And if you’re looking for dining options you are spoilt for choice in Padstow and the surrounding area. Can particularly recommend The Old Mill Bistro in Little Petheric.

Lovely cottage with stunning views. The bedroom was very hot at night as you couldn’t really leave the side windows open, the mattress was too soft for us and the quilt was far too warm 10.5tog for this time of year so we didn’t sleep particularly well during our stay. We were looking forward to having a BBQ but felt it could have done with being replaced as it was very rusty so we didn’t bother. Having said that the downstairs lounge was lovely and we enjoyed sitting in the swivel chairs admiring the view from the lounge. Jane was very nice when we met her and answered our messages quickly.

You will not be disappointed!

We have just come back from a week’s stay at this lovely home. We were first greeted by a bottle of Prosecco and some scones which was a lovely treat! The home is so spacious and has everything you need. We cooked most nights and the kitchen was well equipped! It is located down a private lane and is very quiet with stunning views. The location was perfect as you are only 5 minutes from Padstow. We will definitely be returning next year.

Erholsame Tage in Cornwall

Wir haben unsere Woche in diesem wirklich schönen und mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichteten Häuschen sehr genossen. Alles war sehr sauber und der kleine, gepflegte Garten mit Terrasse hat zum Verweilen eingeladen. Das Frühstück an der Kücheninsel mit Fernblick war jedesmal ein schöner Start in den Tag. Jane ist eine wunderbare Gastgeberin. Wir bedanken uns für eine tolle Zeit, das Begrüßungsgeschenk und kommen gerne wieder.

A relaxing long weekend

The house is spacious for two and had everything that we wanted for a few days away. Close enough to Padstow but out in the country with wonderful views over the fields to the river in the distance. Easy to get to lots of coves to enjoy the sea. Communication was easy and gave us all that we needed. Would definitely chose again if we go back to the area.

Fabulous property

Everything was perfect. Little Byways is a beautiful holiday home. It’s spotlessly clean and superbly equipped, even with a pair of binoculars to admire the wonderful views. Little byways is the perfect location for coastal walks, cycle rides, fabulous beaches,lovely coastal towns to visit and country pubs to eat in. Both myself and my husband would highly recommend it. We visited in December and chose to eat in three nights out of five as we wanted to spend time relaxing at the house and making use of the cosy log burner.
