THE LOCATION:
Little Petherick is a small village located in a green valley between Padstow and Wadebridge. With its historic 14th century church and old granite cottages, this is a distinctly Cornish village and a great base for a holiday in North Cornwall. The Saints Way walking path passes through, and follows Little Petherick Creek into Padstow. The Old Mill Bistro serves delicious food and is just a short walk away.
The town of Padstow is an immensely popular harbour town and is a firm favourite with visitors, with much to offer. Padstow is an historic fishing port with a maze of picturesque narrow streets of stone, colour-washed and slate cottages and a pretty working harbour. Its a great place for people watching, grabbing a proper pasty, or you can try your luck with a spot of crabbing from the quayside.
There are many activities to enjoy in this area, such as regular boat trips, scenic walks along beautiful coastal paths, crazy golf or even a spot of fishing. You can also take the foot ferry to Rock and enjoy a walk along Daymer Bay, or climb to the top of Brea Hill to take in the stunning views.
If you prefer you can also just chill out, look around the shops and art galleries, or treat your taste buds in the fantastic range of eateries. In recent years, Padstow has gained a reputation as a foodie’s heaven, with many excellent restaurants, cafes and pubs. The rise of celebrity chefs such as Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth has helped this along.
The "7 bays for 7 days" area is perfect for a "bucket and spade" family friendly holiday. The Seven Bays are Porthcothan Bay (nearest to Newquay), Treyarnon, Constantine Bay, Booby's Bay, Mother Ivey's Bay, Harlyn and then Trevone Bay (which is nearest to Padstow). Don't miss Harlyn Surf School who offer paddleboarding, coasteering, kayaking as well as surfing and equipment hire.
Besides the glorious bays, there are many rural and coastal walks, along the beaches and through the fields. The Coastal Path winds its way along the cliff tops and through the countryside. As well as the stunning views, there are many other treats including Trevose Head peninsula with its championship golf course and lighthouse.
The Camel Trail is a traffic free route following the old railway track between Padstow, Wadebridge and Bodmin, and is much loved by walkers and cyclists (bikes may be hired at Padstow or Wadebridge). The terrain is mostly level and offers a variety of paths of varying distance, meaning that whatever your age, or ability, everyone will enjoy the ride, The path winds its way alongside the riverbank through this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its abundant wildlife.

Leave ReviewBeautifully presented luxury home.
By Mark on 31-May-2025Beautifully presented luxury home. We liked how peaceful it is looking out over the fields but not too far out to walk into Padstow via the Camel estuary path. The whole house has been renovated to a very high standard. Highly recommend.
The host had thought of everything. Perfect for our family gathering.
By Andy on 12-Jun-2025Fabulous well presented accommodation ideally situated for the superb beaches and coast paths. We had excellent communication from the host, who had thought of everything to make the stay so enjoyable. The open plan layout and outside space was perfect for our family gathering.
Incredibly private with lovely views. Had everything we needed.
By Emily on 10-May-2025We have just returned from an 8 night stay at Glebe Cottage, it’s so well situated just a short drive away from Padstow and many other beaches that we visited. The cottage itself is beautiful, feels incredibly private with the lovely views of the fields from the garden area. The cottage had everything we needed & David the host was very quick to respond when I had a few question for recommendations etc. Thanks for a great stay!
The house was perfect
By Heather on 03-May-2025A beautiful house. Lovely comfortable high quality furniture and decor. Great outdoor space and furniture including bbq and fire pit. Excellent location for many beaches with outlook over fields. We had 8 adults, 1 toddler and 2 dogs. The house was perfect. David was very responsive.
Near some of the best beaches in the UK
By Antony on 08-Apr-2025The Cottage was immaculate, modern and very well presented. The house backs onto farmers fields so feels quite private. Dave communicated well and answered queries within minutes. There are some nice walks locally along with some of the best beaches in UK. I would recommend this property.
Really Homely
By Kate on 12-Feb-2025Beautiful cosy cottage, well furnished and comfortable. Stayed with a family of six and had lots of room to spread ourselves out. Really enjoyed cooking/eating in the open plan kitchen/dining area and the log burner made it feel really homely. Cottage is close to some beautiful walks and lovely places to visit, especially Padstow and nearby beaches.
