About the home

Wreckers Cottage is in a great location 5 minutes from Padstow and equidistant between Porthcothan Bay and Treyarnon Bay. The cottage dates back to medieval times and is one of the most interesting houses in the area. It really does have a lot of character - double height ceiling in the living room, mellow stone walls, Cornish slate floors, exposed beams and one of the deepest open fireplaces you are likely to see. Great for cosy nights in. The cottage has three bedrooms - a double room with a quality King size bed (customers have remarked on the comfort of our beds) and second TV, a twin room and a bunk room, and two bathrooms, one on the ground floor and one upstairs. The cottage may be old but it has all the modern fittings you would expect and is centrally heated throughout. We like to think that everything you may need for a relaxing holiday is provided - flatscreen TV, WiFi, MP3 docking station, games DVDs, Xbox and books, and all the kitchen utensils and pans (there's even a food processor) you would expect to cook a family meal or even something more sophisticated. Outside there is a large garden, SW facing terrace with table and chairs and Weber BBQ. There are also some small farm animals on site - you can even feed the pigs.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The property comprises:

Downstairs: a good size living/dining room with its unique feature fire place (open fire) and smoke chamber and small platform with its own window looking seaward (originally this was was used by the children of the house as a bed so that they could keep warm next to the chimney. Happily this is no longer necessary as the house has full central heating throughout).

There are two large comfy sofas, coffee table, good sized flat screen TV with freeview and DVD player. The dining area has a table and chairs and can seat up to eight. The kitchen is fully equipped with an electric hob, electric oven, fridge/freezer and additional fridge, washer/dryer, dishwasher and microwave.

Upstairs: stairs lead from the living room to three bedrooms - a double room with a quality King size bed and second TV, a twin room and a bunk room.

There are two bathrooms, one on the ground floor with bath, shower over, WC and basin and one upstairs (en suite to the second, twin bedroom) with a bath, WC and basin

Outside: Wreckers has a SW facing garden, and a sheltered, walled terrace with table and chairs, parking for two cars and extensive views across farmland to the sea beyond.

Further details outdoors:
Whilst not a working farm, Trevoyan is a small holding so there will be small animals, farm vehicles, and uneven surfaces on the premises. There is a pond at the farm, and whilst not in the garden of Wreckers it is adjacent and could be a hazard to small children.

Wreckers Cottage is attached, at one corner, to the main residence of Trevoyan where the owners live. Also on the premises, but entirely separate, is Swallows which sleeps 2 adults in one bedroom (see separate listing). Wreckers Cottage and Swallows can be booked separately or together to accommodate up to 8 people, ideal if you are thinking of bringing Grandparents on holiday who would like their own living space.
