Built from solid logs imported from Canada, this stunning detached lodge is located on a select countryside development and provides a lovely holiday home. With its vaulted roof, a second living room leading onto a first floor balcony, it looks out over a stream and meadow hillside. Paths from the nearby hamlet lead down the tidal creek, among the bird life and open air, down to the River Camel and the sea at Padstow. A paradise for walkers, cyclists and country lovers, Padstow with its beautiful harbour, winding streets and renowned restaurants should not be missed, especially for its foodie culture. Try one of the TV chef Rick Stein’s eateries, from a deli to a cookery school.
Padstow, sits at the mouth of the beautiful Camel Estuary, a sanctuary for wild birds, has plenty to offer, not least as its the start of the Camel Trail. A flat, former branch line railway that is now a multi-use trail that hugs the shore of the estuary as it flows inland. You can hire bikes on the quayside and cycle into Wadebridge, a lovely market town with local shops and cafés.
Golf courses, including Trevose, the Point and St Enedoc, are all excellent links courses and are close by. Stunning beaches, high cliffs, world class surf and hidden coves are all within 5 miles. The South West Coast Path passes nearby through some of the country’s most dramatic scenery, and the famous Eden Project is 15 miles away and an absolute must, especially the zip wire that propels you above the stunning biomes.
The pretty harbour village of Charlestown, a regular TV and film set, is easily reached within 30 minutes, and a great day out on the more subtle south coast. Shop 2 miles, pub and restaurant 1 mile.
This is a beautiful house in a very quiet location, despite being one of a small road of similar houses. It's very well equipped and beautifully presented with attractive furnishings. The location is great for accessing the north Cornwall beaches. The only downside for us was that you can't really walk or cycle very safely from the house itself: you need to get in your car first to go just about anywhere, as the road through the village is busy and narrow.
This is a lovely holiday home but it is starting to look tired. Needs a mini make over to bring it back to its best for the price that is charged.
We were so surprised when we arrived, so much better than the pictures. It was like a home from home even down to the lovely black cat who visited everyday. We arrived to a few little essentials, milk, tea etc. Would definite visit again.
Other than the bed mattress being too soft and causing backache we onjoyed our holiday at Camelog
Our stay September, 2019
Excellent place to stay. Lots of room, well equipped, clean. Beds were comfy. Access was easy as was parking. Not close to anything but we knew that when we booked. We’d definitely stay again.
