12 Strand Street has lovely views of Padstow Harbour. It has been recently refurbished to a very high standard to provide a stunning, contemporary and stylish home. The owners' attention to detail is very evident and, if you are a keen cook, the kitchen is a dream. Padstow's unspoilt harbour is still used by the local thriving fleet of inshore fishing vessels who mainly fish for lobsters and crabs, but also by leisure craft, so there is always something going on. Right on your doorstep are a number of delightful pubs, restaurants, galleries and shops and there are beaches in the estuary within a 10 minute walk. However, just down the coast are a selection of glorious sandy beaches - one for every day of the week - and a number of them absolutely ideal for surfing the rolling Atlantic breakers. There are championship golf links at Trevose and St. Enodoc; a passenger ferry and water taxi runs across the estuary to Rock. The route of the old railway track to Bodmin is now a popular trail for cyclists and walkers and offers some wonderful scenery along the way.
Self-catering cottage holidays in the UK and Ireland can still be a green option. You can have the comforts of home and the flexibility to do what you want; when you want - without the hassles of air travel!
