Property code: OC-P00855

This immaculate single-storey chalet is surrounded by countryside but is just 1 mile from Porthcothan Bay Beach, where cliffs shelter a sandy beach and the South West Coast Path offers spectacular views to the north and south. The surrounding area is home to a wide variety of sea birds and the cliffs are often grazed by ponies and sheep, which helps with conservation of local plant life. The local inn has a beer garden with views of the bay and hosts live bands, and the village of St Merryn, 3 miles away, and the town of Padstow, 5 miles away, offer an excellent choice of pubs and restaurants. If it’s nightlife you’re after, the popular surf town of Newquay is 9 miles away.

There are two steps to enter this property and the interior of the chalet is beautifully furnished in a contemporary style. The open-plan living area has separate areas for relaxing and dining, sliding glass doors, as well as a kitchen area with a small breakfast bar. The double bedroom opens onto an en-suite shower room and another bedroom has zip-and-link beds that can be joined together to create a super-king-size bed by request. Both bedrooms have Smart TVs.

The living area opens out onto a private patio area complete with a picnic bench and BBQ and there is also a shared garden area.

  • 2 bedrooms – 1 double, 1 twin zip-and-link bed that can be made into a super-king if requested on booking
  • 2 bathrooms – 1 bath with separate shower with a WC, and 1 en-suite shower room with a WC
  • Electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, coffee machine

This was our 3rd stay at bide-a-while. The property is always spotless and has everything we need for a holiday home. We also love the location - its so quiet and peaceful, tucked away on a farm but a short drive from the main towns of Newquay and Padstow. A short drive also to the main A30 if you want to explore a little further. We had good comRead moremunication with the owner Lucy before arrival and on departure so she is there if you need her.

The cottage was immaculate, clean and comfortable, with a welcoming atmosphere. It had the luxury of a proper bath, not just showers, plus a washing machine and dishwasher. It was just perfect in every way.

The beds were very comfortable and good size, the rooms were good sizes, the wash basin in the en-suite was really only a small hand wash basin. The main family bathroom was large with good size bathroom fittings. Loved the open plan and all furniture was good standard & comfy. The chalet was very warm (the weather was quite wet, damp & cold at Read moretimes) but we very rarely had to put the heating on as the chalet stayed, warm, cosy & comfy. It was a great base & well situated for exploring & walking. The owners were friendly & very accommodating to our needs. Hide

Bide-a-while is a delightful lodge in a perfect, quiet location; you can actually walk to the beach (albeit on minor roads) which we did numerous times. It was clean, well presented and had everything we needed including two great bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen. Theres a lovely field out the back so plenty of space and somewhere to hang out Read morethe washing too - always such a bonus. We loved our stay and will definitely be back, its our favourite holiday let in Cornwall ever. I couldnt write in the visitor book as I didnt have a pen - sorry. Hide

A very well-equipped lodge, carefully considered and spotlessly clean. The location was perfect for exploring Cornwall's many surfing beaches, as well as the quaint towns of Padstow and Port Isaac. Lots of things to do locally - a week wasn't long enough to see it all! Definitely recommend for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat. Also a great spot foRead morer children to explore with a lovely big shared garden, and an adventure theme park just up the road. Hide
