a stone's throw from the banks of the River Camel, within walking distance of the bustling market town of Wadebridge. The town today offers a wide variety of attractions suitable for visitors of all ages. Individual shops, riverside walks, bicycle hire, and a large selection of places to eat and drink catering for all tastes. Wadebridge has a leisure centre with an indoor swimming pool, a children's play park, bowling green, tennis courts, as well as a cinema. The Camel Trail is a real highlight of the town, which is a 17-mile long traffic-free route for both walkers and cyclists. The 5.5 mile route to Padstow follows the shoreline of the estuary, and is incredibly scenic. Along the way you will find several places to stop to enjoy either a bit of birdwatching, or just to take in the spectacular view. The nearest beach is at Rock (5 miles away), and is good for water-based activities such as sailing, waterskiing, and boat and fishing trips. Try your hand at surfing at Polzeath beach and or watch the kiteboarders at Daymar Bay, both of which are within a 10 minute drive of the cottage. The pretty fishing village of Padstow, now synonymous with Rick Stein, is only 9 miles away by road, or for more scenic and leisurely route take the shorter 5.5 mile walk or cycle along the Camel Trail.

A wonderful week!
We had a fabulous week. Clear blue skies and warm sunshine for most of it - very lucky! The cottage has been perfect - great location and decorated etc so nicely.
Truly a home from home
Having stayed at half of Cornwall's cottages over the last 6 or 7 years, we've finally found the one we were looking for! Truly a home from home, perfectly sited and beautifully done out, we loved everything about it.
In such a convenient place
This is our second visit to Pippins Cottage and it is still exciting to stay in such a brilliant and cosy place. The house is in such a convenient place, near to some fantastic beaches (Polzeath) and great places to eat.
The seven hour drive was worth it!
Simple yet stylish, this beautifully renovated old shop has all the comforts you could wish for to feel at home. Even the beds are comfy, and I'm fussy about beds!! It's the perfect location for exploring the area as it's not far off the beaten track.
Do we have to go home?
We've had a great week! Wonderful cottage, wonderful weather, stunning beaches and stunning food - do we have to go home! The cottage is beautiful. Great location too.
