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.

Mrs Sanderson-ten Hoeve
Very authentic Cornish cottage. Great location for walking. Fitted our group of 6 (3 adults, 3 kids) It has 3 bathrooms but only 1 with shower with no hand held showerhead so difficult to clean after use. Water pressure is also not very good so people can only take a bath or shower one at a time. So actually 1 bath upstairs was better of as just a toilet room. Bunkbed room is very small. Very nice curtains and headboards. Nice livingroom and large kitchen with AGA but breakfast table small and old. Only 4 chairs. Kitchenware is mix and match and some things could be replaced. Some pans had a lot of scratches in the Teflon which is harmful. Cobwebs and ventilation grills were dusty/dirty. Door handles were wobbly and came out of the doors which needed to be put back. Overall we were a bit disappointed in the quality standard of the property. Our opinion is that the house should get a little bit more TLC.
