Creekside is a lovely, comfortable cottage with great views over the creek. At low tide there is a little beach for wildlife but we were lucky enough to witness 3 high tides where the creek completely filled almost up to the decking and we could even see fish! We also saw egrets , kingfishers and herons. The cottage is very well equipped with lovely bathrooms though we would have preferred a dishwasher rather than a washing machine and the spiral staircase was a bit tricky. It was very clean and well furnished throughout . It was only a short drive to Padstow or Wadebridge and to many beautiful beaches.Lots of lovely places to eat nearby e.g. Cornish Arms and The Pickwick Inn. We had a wonderful relaxing time and would love to stay there again.

A cosy cottage for 4 with 2 singles downstairs of varying widths and a spacious kingsize up a spiral staircase, which is quite narrow; not ideal for elderly people.Other than that, the owner was very informative and helpful when I spoke with him. A nice walk on the far side of the creek into Padstow if you feel up to it, takes about 1hr.Plenty of nearby sights to see, but you will need a car.
