Self-catering rental with beach access, near Padstow.

The Red Buoy is an idyllic sunny beach apartment attached to a Victorian slate house right on Porthcothan beach. This beautiful beach has sand dunes, caves, rock pools, surfing and is fantastic for swimming and fishing. The coastal path runs right past the end of the garden with wonderful cliff walks, stunning views and great birdwatching. This apartment has whitewashed wooden walls throughout. The kitchen and bathroom have a conservatory roof and are very light and sunny. The kitchen shelves and work surfaces are hand crafted from hardwoods washed up on Cornish beaches. The double bedroom is like a ships cabin, with a lot of cupboard space and an ensuite bathroom (shower, basin and WC). The living room has a futon sofa bed, armchairs, table and four chairs, oil heater, maps, books and games. It has TV/SAT, DVD/CD and wireless broadband. The entrance is through its own private garden with a hammock, washing line, table and chairs, access to a laundry room, telephone and the local shop.


Sun Decks: The kitchen has a wooden deck just outside the door where you can eat at a table a chairs provided.
There is another wooden deck with a door onto it from the bedroom, a suntrap in the afternoon.

Quirky and fun
Unique and arty - we came with our bikes to cycle along the Camel Trail and loved this hideaway, with its beautiful art-works and beachcombed wooden shelves. The steps up are not for the faint-hearted (though we're both in our seventies and managed it OK) and don't expect all mod-cons (eg a dish-washer). Very comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen and lovely hot shower, though, and Jane was very friendly and accommodating. Porthcothan beach is on the door-step and the small shop nearby is useful for bread and milk. A great experience, recommended.

Brilliant , quirky , beach apartment
This place is amazing , birdsong , shaded drive up to a outside place that looks like a shipwreck (in a good way) the apartment is themed in a beach way , driftwood and beautiful paintings painted by the Owner Jayne . Is not the biggest place although it was just right for a short break with two 16 year old boys !!! The bed was comfy and the outside decking looks over the beach . I will say that the steps up to the property are difficult if you have knee or joint problems , it’s manageable but could prove difficult for the older generation . The beach is found just down the steps at the side of the property and it’s perfect . A little shack sells coffee and ice cream and the shop next to the property sells some lovely things including products from Clough Bakery , scrummy . All in all had an amazing couple of days and would definitely return . Thank you Jayne for a lovely relaxing time away xx

Peace Haven
The approach to the annexe is mysterious and surrounded by foliage and birdsong with the background noise of the waves. As you enter the property you are taken back to a time of basic yet adequate living with a quirky mix of modern rustic art (by the owner) and cosy vintage upholstery/furnishings. An instant peace and tranquility is felt with the excitement of knowing the beautiful beach is a stones throw away. The owner Jane is lovely and on hand for any advice or just a friendly chat and although the annexe is attached to her home the annexe feels private and separate . The check in and out times are perfect and combined with the location and the accommodation makes the stay great value for money.
