Nearby
Little Petherick is quaint village, located just outside of Padstow, perfect to escape the hustle and bustle of the nearby towns. Whilst the village itself is quite small, there are some lovely spots to eat and drink very close by; closest being The Old Mill House Bistro. A mile up the road to St Issey there are two more pubs to choose from, The Ring ’o’ Bells in the village centre, or The Pickwick Inn which serves delicious food whilst overlooking the Camel Estuary.
Tucked just a few miles away from the coast, you can find a huge selection of stunning sandy beaches within a five minute drive, including Harlyn, Trevone, Constantine, Treyarnon, Porthcothan and more, explore a different bay every day!
The locality is very dog friendly, with many of the beaches, shops and restaurants in the area allowing your pets to join in on your family holiday. There is a five star bistro within a minute’s walk – The Old Mill, a lovely spot for a bite to eat. And there are two pubs within one mile, The Pickwick Inn or The Ring’o’Bells.
Little Petherick is positioned on the Saints Way, a scenic walking route offering a picturesque walk along the riverside into the beautiful harbour town of Padstow (otherwise a few minutes in the car). The winding streets of Padstow hide a plentiful number of pleasant surprises. This bustling town offers a vast variety of food from Rick Stein’s fine dining restaurants to fresh homemade pasties. If you’re feeling adventurous you could catch a sea life safari from the harbour or enjoy scenic views of the estuary cycling to Wadebridge for lunch along the flat Camel Trail.
Reviews
Andy & Clare, October 2024
We had a very relaxing and most enjoyable week spent at the cornish holiday cottage. A well equipped kitchen, plenty of guidebooks, maps and games, plus extremely comfortable beds and a lovely modern bathroom. Clean, smart and snuggly, especially sat around the woodburner with a hot chocolate, little petherick was a perfect base to explore Padstow and the surrounding area. Wonderful beaches, breathtaking costal walks and the famous Camel Trail. There was an impressively large selection of places to eat, whether brunch, cream teas or evening dinner. Every meal we had was excellent. All in all, we had a terrific holiday and look forward to coming back to stay in the near future. Would highly recommend.

PADSTOW…
Situated on the west bank of the Camel Estuary, the picturesque harbour town of Padstow is a stunning holiday destination with an energetic vibe, a huge range of superb restaurants and bars, a variety of boutique shops and galleries, and all of this surrounded by gorgeous scenery.
For those days wandering around the town or sitting by the harbour in the sunshine, the tides of the river and the stream of boats sailing in and out of the working fishing port provide an ever changing and simply beautiful scenery to absorb. Stroll further along from the harbour and you reach the gorgeous sandy beaches along the estuary, a beautiful spot to relax and let your cares fly away.
The town has become a famous foodie destination, with celebrity chefs Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth taking centre stage, including Rick’s flagship Seafood Restaurant and Paul’s Michelin starred No.6 amongst the empire! With a huge variety through the town including Italian restaurants, fish and chips, delicious pub grub, tempting bakeries and daytime cafés. To go with this there is an equally wide range of bars to enjoy, from cosy pubs to stylish gin and wine bars.
Exploring the winding streets of the town you will also find a selection of clothing and jewellery shops, galleries and more.
During your visit, make the most of the water and take a boat trip out on the estuary, you can choose from a scenic trip on an old lifeboat, a water safari or a high speed trip around the bay! There is also a ferry which runs daily across the water to Rock with even more food options like Paul Ainsworth’s gastro pub The Mariners.
Padstow is also surrounded by other beautiful places, with several stunning sandy beaches along the rugged north Cornish coast just a short drive away. Or by foot, take a hike along the South West Coast Path and explore miles of hidden coves and spectacular scenery. Hire some bikes for the day and try out the Camel Trail, a level cycle route enjoying the same beautiful landscape.
