NEW PROPERTY for 2024!
Peggy's Old Post Office is a gorgeous and beautifully presented two bedroom property in the heart of Penrose close to Porthcothan and Padstow.
Tastefully refurbished, Peggy's provides a high degree of comfort in quality surroundings. A successful mix of old meets new with every consideration given to maximising enjoyment for guests staying in this great property.
Just over 2 miles from the beach at Porthcothan and 5 miles from Padstow, Peggy's Old Post Office is a terrific base from which to explore this fabulous part of the north Cornish coast.
Padstow is of course famous to most and particularly so for its high end dining options including restaurants owned by the likes of Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth. Even so, Padstow still has a wealth of charm about it and an abundance of interesting shops and galleries to explore.
Further along the coast from Penrose heading towards Padstow you will have a choice of six other beaches at your disposal. The seven bays for seven days applies perfectly for a property like Peggy's as all seven are within striking distance of one another. Start with Porthcothan on day one and end up at Trevone Bay on day seven with Treyarnon, Constantine, Booby's Bay, Mother Ivey's and Harlyn in between!
St Merryn is just a couple of miles from Peggy's and here you will find two great pubs, a bakery, convenience store and fish and chip shop.
Assuming you have any time left from your beach days, the bustling town of Wadebridge is just 12 miles away and has a great variety of facilities and amenities at your disposal including Camel bicycle trail, two screen cinema, high street full of interesting shops and cafes, leisure centre with swimming pool and choice of supermarkets.
Further afield for those of you who want more than beaches, the world renowned Eden Project and the quite marvellous, Lost Gardens of Heligan are 20 and 24 miles respectively from Peggy's.

Arguably one of north Cornwall's most magical destinations, it is easy to see why holidays in Padstow are in demand. With plenty going on in this charming fishing village, you could not be blamed for just relaxing in the comfort of your holiday home, but with beaches, boat trips and bike trails on offer, it would be a shame not to get out and about.
Padstow’s colourful harbour filled with bobbing boats is a wonderful place to soak up the atmosphere on the quayside. Watch the fishing boats come in with their catch of the day, go crabbing and wander around the local shops, where you can purchase everything from beachwear to ice cream. If you choose to holiday in Padstow in May, you’ll be part of the village’s famous Obby Oss May Day celebrations along with around 30,000 people – certainly not an event to miss!
A huge reason to come to Padstow is the food. It’s no exaggeration to say that you’ll be spoilt for choice. Wander through the town’s cobbled streets to discover restaurants, cafes and chippys galore, from the high-end Paul Ainsworth at No.6 to seafood tapas at Prawn on the Lawn and Rick Stein’s Fish and Chips. Whatever you choose, it’ll be fresh, locally sourced and delicious.
Padstow is famous as a mecca for foodies but also for its excellent local beaches, such as Polzeath, Harlyn Bay, Trevone Beach and Treyarnon Bay, where you can relax and build sandcastles, gaze at the beautiful rugged coastline or try your hand at some watersports to get your heart pumping. There’s plenty to choose from, including surfing, sailing, water-skiing, wakeboarding, paddleboarding, kayaking and coasteering.
More action on the water and a perfect little day trip from Padstow can be found by catching the ferry across the estuary to Rock, a sleepy fishing village popular with celebrities and royalty. Refuel at one of a handful of decent pubs and restaurants and then enjoy a walk along the coast to Daymer Bay. And if you want to really push the boat out, try Padstow’s Sea Life Safari where you can see local wildlife close up, from seabirds, seals and dolphins to elusive basking sharks.
The scenery away from the coast is just as stunning. Access the beautiful Cornish countryside with a cycle on the famous Camel Trail, which begins in Padstow and ends in Wadebridge – a peaceful way to enjoy the views for all ages and abilities. Keep an eye out for wildlife en route – you may be able to spot shy creatures such as otters, bats and dormice.
And if you can tear yourself away from all the treasure Padstow has on offer, immerse yourself in culture at the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Eden Project and National Trust property Lanhydrock or treat yourself to an afternoon of wine tasting at Camel Valley Vineyards.
Whether you are heading to Padstow for a romantic getaway or a fun-filled family break, the range of restaurants and activities on offer will keep everyone happy all year round.
There is parking to the front of Peggy's for one large or two small to medium size cars.
