About this property
A delightfully located spacious house with direct water access just outside Padstow. Great for walks, kayaking and cosy nights in.
The Boathouse at Little Petherick is a characterful period, detached house in a beautiful creek-side setting upriver from Padstow. This spacious property, with its attractive slate-hung frontage, has direct access to the water from the garden and is perfect for those who want to bring along kayaks or paddleboards to explore the waterways. Designed in such a way that most rooms face to the front and enjoy pretty views across the creek. There are good local walks along The Saints’ Way footpath which passes right by and easy driving access to the fantastic north coast sandy beaches.
All rooms have lovely creek views and natural light floods in the many windows. The oil-fired Aga provides a warming, cosy atmosphere and with the addition of a wood-burning stove in the snug living area, you'll feel very at home here.
