Family holiday, excellent stay
"Lovely location, right next to beach that we, teenagers and the dog loved. Very functional base. Just needs an outside tap and hose so we could wash down us and the dog when coming off the beach to avoid sand inside."

Pentire Steps Beach
Gorgeous beach/cove on the SW coastal path near Padstow. As seen on Poldark. Only accessable at low tide via boat. Do NOT attempt climbing down unless you have experience and proper safety gear. The cliff face has a loose surface and slips away underfoot. The rocks lower down are very sharp. It is simply stunning!
