Your very own Bolt Hole, a little piece of off-grid Cornish paradise. Our unique cabin is surrounded by farmland with the stunning seven bays at your finger tips and close to both St Merryn and Padstow. The perfect escape for two. With a cosy king-size bed that's raised so you can enjoy the far reaching views, your very own stylish bathroom and a hand crafted simple kitchen. The outside area is a real suntrap, perfect for those morning coffees and evening BBQ's. An ideal base to explore from.
We will meet you on arrival and introduce you to The Bolt Hole. We do like to give our guests space and won't bother you thereafter however our home is on site and we are available if you need anything.
We are very lucky to be within the famous seven bays, all approximately a 5 minute drive away. Porthcothan Bay is nearest to Newquay then following up the coast to Treyarnon, then Constantine Bay, Booby's Bay, Mother Ivey's Bay, Harlyn and then Trevone Bay which is nearest to Padstow. They are all absolutely stunning. This area of Cornwall is renowned for walking and water sports and is a walkers and nature lovers paradise. Padstow itself is roughly 5 minutes drive away with restaurants a plenty plus boat trips and other excursions available. Our local St Merryn has everything you might need, eateries, take aways, live music pubs, Premier shop and petrol station. The South West Coast path can be picked up from many close by spots with views that will take your breath away. Easy access to the A30 means most tourist destinations and quieter gems are not far away.
