About the home
Our 300 year old cob cottage has 3 bedrooms, sleeps 7, and is situated in a quiet village just 15 minutes from the north coast sandy beaches. The cottage is located in the quiet and peaceful village of North Petherwin. The cottage is ideal both for families - with plenty in the surrounding area to see and do during your stay, beaches, surfing, pub meals; and for couples, who are looking for a romantic break from the hustle and bustle, having quiet coastal walks or a glass of wine in the cottage garden or in front of the wood burner. For keen golfers there are two golf courses within 5 miles of the doorstep. The detached cottage was the village Post Office many years ago, and boasts beamed ceilings and an inglenook fireplace with a wood burner and bread oven.
There is a king size sleigh bed in the master bedroom, an iron framed double bed, and bunkbed and single bed in the remaining two double bedrooms. The kitchen is fully equipped and the lounge has a 2-piece suite, comprising of a new large leather settee and large new leather arm chair, and a rocking chair!
There is a family bathroom and a separate shower room, which has recently been converted into a wet room. The cottage is fully equipped with Freeview Television, DVD player and video recorder.
The Old Post Office Cottage has recently been regraded and has now attained 4 Star Status

The West Country / Cornwall region
For the perfect holiday in Cornwall come to North Cornwall. Sixty miles of dramatic Heritage Coastline, sandy beaches, hidden coves and pretty fishing villages, wooded river valleys, bustling market towns and the beguiling beauty of Bodmin Moor. Whether it’s a short break or longer, North Cornwall offers quality hotels, bed and breakfasts, guesthouses, self catering and caravan and camping parks.
North Cornwall also has quality attractions including the world famous Eden Project, stunning country houses, medieval castles and many areas to explore including Bude - a premier resort, Crackington Haven, Boscastle, King Arthurs Tintagel and Port Isaac, all hidden in the most spectacular cliffs in Cornwall. Visit the market towns of Camelford and Wadebridge and the pretty working port of Padstow. Inland there's the muted fury of the dramatic Bodmin Moor and the historic towns of Bodmin and Launceston
The Bude / North Petherwin area
If you are a keen golfer you will be pleased to know that there are 2 golf courses within a 5 mile radius from your doorstep; Launceston Golf Course and Trethorn Golf Club.
The nearest public house is the Countryman, 1 1/2 miles away (30 minute walk if you like a beer or two) which has a thatched roof and serves excellent food. I also recommend the White Horse in the market town of Launceston, which is 4 miles away. The Otter Park is a 5 minute walk down the road.
The nearest beach is 15 minutes away; you have a choice of Crackington Haven, Bude and Widemouth Beach. Polzeath is only 30 minutes away!

Reviews
 30 Oct 2011 |
A lovely cottage with lots of character sitauted in a peaceful location. Wood burner was a bonus and fitted in well with the rest of the cottage's furnishings. It was great that we could bring our dog with us and still enjoy a high standard of accommodation. We came with friends so the ample parking space was welcome. Lovely garden to sit in although close supervision of pets and children needed as the garden is not totally secured. The cottage is located centrally for exploration of central Cornwall. Good amenities in nearby towns. Owners were quick to respond to our needs, e.g. extra bedding. All in all a very relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings. Response: We have recently replaced/ renewed the linen. The garden has been made secure at the beginning of this season. |
