About this property

Private beautiful cottage in great location at Porthcothan Bay, Near Padstow

Rosewood Cottage is a recently refurbished cottage set within it's own private garden in the small hamlet of Treburrick positioned above Porthcothan Bay. Treburrick is half way between Padstow and Watergate Bay, so access to the "7 Bays in 7 Days" are all no more than 15 minutes drive away. The house is 15 minutes walk to the Beach or 5 minutes in a car. We have had the house for 3 years and have enjoyed many family holidays all year round. The cottage is situated down a private track and there is parking for 1-2 cars on the drive depending on size.

The Cottage has recently undergone a full restoration to a high standard.

Rosewood Cottage has 2 King Size bedrooms, the third bedroom has 2 single beds, one which is a bunk bed. All have fully sprung mattresses with a choice of fibre or feather pillows. The house has the benefit of renewable heating and a log burner in the lounge. On the first floor is a family bathroom and the main bedrom has an ensuite.

There is a Kitchen diner and separate Lounge, all with handmade furniture and soft furnishings. The house has been decorated and funished to a high standard. We have fibre to the property which is amazing given location. The kitchen has a microwave, coffee machine and full cooking utensils, we like to cook so it is a Cook's kitchen.

All the beds have 800 knot white linen which is included as well as soft white towels.

The Cottage comes with a travel bed, pushchair, high chair and garage full of recreation items, such as wind break, body boards, wetsuits and most importantly, bucket and spades.

There is a Garage for you to store roof boxes, ancillary items. There is an outdoor spray tap for washing down wetsuits and boards.

The Cottage is in a great location for visiting all the main beaches and if you are a keen runner then easy access to the coastal paths. Porthcothan Bay has a new coffee shop and stores just by the beach so great for fresh Chough Bakery items and fresh coffee in the mornings. We like the cottage because it is close enough to everywhere but has no immediate neighbours and so has a perfectly quiet outdoor space. There is an outdoor area for seating for 6-8 people.

The Cottage has the benefit of a large garden.

Sehr schönes Ferienhaus in toller Lage
Der Vermieter ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Das Haus hat alles, was man für einen erholsamen Urlaub braucht. Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet. In der Garage sind diverse Strandutensilien vorhanden. Der Garten lädt zum Entspannen ein. Die Schlafzimmer lassen sich abdunkeln und die Betten sind bequem. Man kann direkt vom Haus aus die Wanderwege Richtung Küste erreichen. Wir haben mit unseren Kindern zwei Rundtouren (8 und 10 km) vom Haus gemacht. Der Strand von Porthcotan (5min mit dem Auto) ist aus unserer Sicht einer der schönsten der Umgebung. Wir können das Haus nur empfehlen und werden es wenn wir nochmal Cornwall ansteuern sicher wieder buchen.

Perfect cosy cottage
Couldn’t fault our stay. Cottage was clean, fully equipped and perfect for our family. The children loved all the games and beach bits in the garage. Lovely welcome back arrived on our first night which was very generous. James couldn’t do enough for us and very informative and helpful. Would definitely return to this lovely part of Cornwall and this cottage

Cottage Wasn't cleaned or ready for occupation
We didn't stay in the end. Arrived to find the cottage not cleaned and no towels or bedding. We spent the first night in a Premier Inn. To be completely fair to the owner there had been a misunderstanding with the cleaning company. He reimbursed our Premier Inn costs and when we decided to stay elsewhere for the rest of the holiday. The cottage is in a lovely location but not quite as big as it seems from the listing.

Perfect for hitting the beaches
A great location for hitting the beaches of North Cornwall. Porthcothan Bay, less than 5 mins drive with Mawgan Porth, Constantine, Boobys, Treyarnon, Harlyn and Trevone all under 15mins by car. Cottage is really lovely in a quest location, with enough garden space for games, a private parking space and really handy downstairs shower for spraying those kids down upon return from the beach.

Annual Family holiday at Porthcothan
Primrose cottage was a lovely place to stay for our annual family gathering. The garden was a real bonus. The house was very clean and comfortable, the kitchen had most things we needed. It was close enough to the beach that we could just cycle down or walk. I would highly recommend a compost bin somewhere outside. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home.

Great location for exploring
Lovely little cottage in a very quiet hamlet. Silent at night. The welcome pack and open fire started on arrival we’re nice touches, as was providing board games and dvds for rainy days. Very clean and comfortable. Decent shower in the bathroom off the kitchen. Found the comfiest bed to be the raised one! Nice enclosed garden and decent parking. Great location for exploring. Good communication from the host, thank you!

Quiet Relaxing Stay
We had over 5 hours flight delay so welcome pack of scones and jam, etc. was very appreciated. First week of stay was stormy so wifi or netflix would have been useful. Watched a few of the CDs that were available and bought a few others while we were there. The cottage was perfect for returning to at the end of a long day.

Fabulous quiet location but close to many places including Padstow
The owner was very good at answering queries. The house had everything you would need. A lovely garden and beautifully decorated. A big fridge/freezer that was big enough for food for the week for 5 of us. It was in a very small hamlet that was quiet. It was a 15 min walk down to the beach, we took granny in the car as it was steep getting home. Close to many places of interest. The bedruthian steps, Trevose golf and tennis club, Padstow, Newquay. The men enjoyed a jet ski experience and we travelled to Portscatho (50 min drive away) to go to the hidden hut which was fab. It was lovely to be able to relax at the end of the day in the garden and have a bbq. Loads of walks along the coastal path and my son enjoyed road biking up and down the hills of Cornwall. Perfect location. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely little house
A lovely house in a very quiet hamlet. Clean and well equipped. Electric shower downstairs off the kitchen and bath under the eaves upstairs so not able to stand up to shower. One double room, one room with steps to climb into bed (not for the infirm) and 2 single beds under the eaves of 3rd bedroom. Peaceful garden ( we only saw one other person in the small village) Welcome bag on the door handle was much appreciated. It is a 20 min walk to the bay down roads and through a campsite. If there was another way we could not find it! A small map of the area would have been useful. Beautiful cliff top walks in either direction. With children and beach paraphernalia it would be better to drive just down the road to the car park at Porthcothan Bay where there is a small beach and lovely local shop. Nice to be away from the madness that is Padstow at the moment! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Family friendly cottage in a great location
We had a great time at Primrose Cottage, it has a lovely homely feel to it. It's in the perfect location to explore the coastline between Newquay and Padstow, only a mile from Porthcothan Bay. The cottage is really well equipped for families with multiple high chairs, buggies, buckets & spades and wetsuits in the garage. Communication from the owner was good, and the check-in process was smooth. Highly recommended!

Primrose Cottage is perfect, we were sad to leave.
We spent a fantastic week at Primrose Cottage. The check in was super easy and the cottage was extremely clean, tidy and very well equipped with all the best appliances. The lounge was cosy especially with the fire on and perfect roaming ground for our 10 month old daughter. When we arrived the wifi was not working so we emailed James, he called us straight away and gave us the new code as it was newly installed, he was very quick and we were up and running in no time. The cottage is in a great location, we did day trips to Padstow (15 mins away) Port Issac, Fowey and Newquay, it was lovely to come home to after a day out and about. We had a fantastic stay and will be back. Thank you James for sharing your wonderful home.

A peaceful location excellent for exploring the lovely local 7 plus wonderful bays of north coast
Owner very helpful and provides informative and helpful information a great place to base yourself as a couple or a small family. Would not recommend cottage for anyone with mobility problems or two couples if both needing night pit stops as the journey downstairs if not en-suite is a short journey especially if allowing for getting down from the mezzanine bed ! However it was a great home from home for the two of us cosy and warm and very well equipped surrounded by easy to reach fantastic coastal stretches of walks with stunning scenery plenty of good food and cream teas!

What a great cottage
We knew Primrose Cottage was going to be a perfect holiday stay when James took the time to give us so much information about the local area and other great places in Cornwall. The cottage is quirky and functional with fabulous outdoor space. It's well equipped, spotlessly clean, and the garage is ideal if you have a load of surf stuff. We'd highly recommend.
