Great base for a couple to explore padstow and other local area. Cute house with a small range of kitchen appliances. Everything you would need so long as you don't expect to cook a large meal. Owners pleasant and helpful. Only down side I could possibly see is it's down small lanes that some might not be comfortable with.All in all my partner and I found that this was just right for us. Would definitely visit again.

Such a nice little cottage, set in very peaceful surroundings. We stayed for 2 weeks in March and found it the perfect base to visit many places within a short drive. I am a surfer, so very pleased to be very close to some great beaches (2 within an 8 minute drive). The cottage is all you need for 2 people, there is a nice garden for dining in nice weather, even a little view of the sea. This area is also great for dining, being only an 8 min drive from Padstow. Rick Steins pub (The Cornish Arms) is just down the road (walkable). Well equipped kitchen. Local village is only a 5 min drive, with a fully stocked shop, fish n chips, pub, pizza etc Overall, great!

We had a really lovely stay in Nelly's House. It is small but beautiful and very cosy and had everything we needed for a week of walking the coastal path.We had a superb Sunday lunch at the Cornish Arms which is the nearest pub and in St Merryn is Barnecuts Bakery(brilliant doughnuts!), and a few takeaways. The only thing I would advise is to take mugs with you as there were only cups and saucers.
