Introduction
If you are looking for a place to rest and recharge, where the ocean comes almost to your doorstep and where there is space galore for the whole family, you’ve found it. The Cot is set in a magical location, watching over the bay as the tides roll in and out.
Sleeping nine guests in four bedrooms, and with a spacious mezzanine living area which makes the most of the incredible views, this welcoming home is the perfect spot for a Cornish seaside holiday. Imagine evening BBQs with the sun setting over the water, salty hair and sandy feet, and the promise of another day of fun on the horizon.
Nearby
Harlyn Bay is a wide, sandy beach, ideal for families and surfers alike. Renowned for its gentle waves and sheltered waters, this pretty beach has a large swathe of golden sand and is popular all-year round with water sports enthusiasts, sun-seekers and walkers. With direct access to the famous Southwest Coast Path in either direction, Harlyn Bay really is the perfect spot for explorers of all ages.
The waves rolling into the bay offer the perfect opportunity for surf lessons, as well as providing ever changing scenery as you soak up the sun on the beach. Harlyn Surf School offers an action-packed experience with not just surf lessons but kayaking, paddle boarding and coasteering. Or for golfers, Harlyn is situated just two miles from the championship Trevose Golf & Country Club, a prestigious club offering three courses, suitable for golfers of all standards, with a breath-taking backdrop over the coast.
Harlyn is a ten-minute drive from the foodie mecca of Padstow, where you can dine in a variety of world-class restaurants, including Rick Steins flagship, the Seafood Restaurant. Padstow is also home to Paul Ainsworth’s highly regarded No 6 and the always buzzing Prawn on The Lawn, as well as an array of seasonal pop-ups. If fine dining isn’t your thing, you can be assured that you are never more than a few metres away from a wide choice of pasty or fish and chip options to keep the whole family fed and happy! A mere five-minute stroll away from Little House is The Pig Hotel & Restaurant which offers a superb dining experience in the hotel restaurant, or for a more relaxed vibe head to The Lobster Shed and enjoy super-fresh seafood with a view of the bay.
Accommodation
Inside Space
The interiors at The Cot are set up for family living. The spacious hallway provides a perfect place for beach gear, flip-flops (or wellies!) and coats, and leads into the large, light kitchen. Vaulted ceilings draw in that incredible coastal light and echo the light blues and sun-bleached colours that feature in this space. The family’s practical needs are catered for, with a huge fridge freezer, perfect for those BBQ essentials! French doors lead out onto a side patio which has a large table and chairs for outside dining, and a huge window floods the dining area with light and once again, the epic views of the bay.
Stairs lead up to the mezzanine living area, a cosy space in the eaves of the house. Kitted out with a telescope and binoculars, this a perfect vantage point for wildlife watching, and is a special place to be if the weather turns and a storm rolls in! An equally lovely room for movie nights or just relaxing, whilst still enjoying those coastal views.
All four bedrooms are on the ground floor, two on the ocean side and two facing the front of the house. There are two bathrooms adjacent to the bedrooms, both with WC’s and baths with shower over.
The ground floor layout also includes a sunroom, which provides another lovely space to curl up with a book, a utility room with drying rack and a handy wet room, perfect for when those sandy feet have come right from the beach! The utility room has access from the front of the home, creating a great space for storing boards, wetsuits, and other beach gear.
Outside space
This is what beach holidays are all about. The Cot sits right on Harlyn Bay, with a large lawned garden stretching right to the sand. A patio sits off the kitchen, perfect for dining al fresco, and a fire pit provides the perfect spot to toast marshmallows. The huge garden is the perfect place for everything from ball games to book reading, all with the stunning backdrop of the bay.
