About this cottage rental
Quarryside is a Traditional Cornish stone cottage full of atmosphere and charm that has been a treasured home for four generations. The cottage is set in an outstanding, secluded location on the River Camel Estuary only 1.5 miles from the popular destination of Rock. A rustic farm track leads down to this peaceful and idyllic setting surrounded by fields with a wild garden and steps leading down to a valley which in turn leads onto a private shingle beach shared only with two neighbours. At low tide the beach looks onto the vast sandbanks of the estuary which attracts a large variety of birdlife.
Interior: The cosy interior is all on one level and consists of two bedrooms (one twin and one with bunk-beds), a small bathroom with shower over the bath, a traditional dining room and kitchen combining both original features with modern amenities. The bright sitting-room has a pretty bay window and a door leading through a small porch onto the west-facing patio outside.
Facilities: Heating is electric – night store or portable heaters.
The Kitchen has a traditional (Belling) electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier.
Exterior: A west-facing patio with garden benches and a lawn with picnic bench surround the house. Outside the back door is a small yard for hanging washing, wetsuits, etc.
The area has easy access to the A30 plus the A39 and provides an excellent base for coastal walking along the North Cornwall footpath network; the famous golf-courses of St Enodoc and Trevose Golf & Country Club, with The Point Golf Course nearby at Polzeath; the popular Camel Estuary cycle trail linking Padstow with Wadebridge and Bodmin (as featured in The Times Best Cycle Rides with photograph of the private beach on the front page); several good family surfing beaches (Polzeath, Booby’s Bay, Constantine Bay and Watergate Bay), plus water sports such as sailing, canoeing, paddle-boarding and water-skiing on the Camel Estuary itself. Padstow opposite has good shops & restaurants, plus regular boat-rides out to the off-shore islands and sea-fishing trips. Cornwall also has many wonderful gardens within easy reach such as Heligan, Trebah, Trewithen, Lanhydrock and The Eden Project.
However, the tranquillity and proximity of the private garden valley and beach lend themselves to staying put in pursuit of home-based activities such as painting, reading, canoeing, beach-walking and generally exploring the estuary plus bird-life on your door-step.
Only 10 minute drive by car is Rock with very good bakery, butcher, fishmonger and delicatessen. Wadebridge and Bodmin have several Supermarkets for further supplies. Wadebridge also boasts a small cinema.
Miscellaneous
Arrival/Departure day is normally Saturday.
Electricity, heating and bed linen/towels all included.
The cottage provides a complete sanctuary with no telephone, television or Wifi -- but has good mobile coverage.
Strictly one well-behaved dog, please!

This is the second time we have stayed at Quarryside. It’s a beautiful cottage in an amazing location. The walk through the garden to the beach is gorgeous and we loved spotting all the different butterflies. The cottage is comfortable and has everything you need. Thank you for keeping it so traditional, please don’t ever change it!

Really enjoyed our stay
Property probably not updated since 1950s/1960s although kitchen does have the essentials - a much loved family home belonging initially to the grandparents
Lovely peaceful position with a short walk through pretty valley to the private beach

I had a dream that she took my hand
And led me to a far off land
A path laid down a dewey hill
Which opened on a land so still
An ancestral plot so green and full
It took my breath to see this jewel
Plants and trees from around the earth
Laid out and chosen for future mirth
She sat me down in this fair glade
And cherries, apples, plums she laid
Between the white poplar and the cabbage tree
We ate our fruits to the song of the sea
As twilight fell she bid me come
To sit beneath the Tasmanian blue gum
We watched as the bats swooped down to feed
Upon the wild cherries and the apple trees
The tide was out so far in the estuary
She led me deeper into the mystery
It was as though we were upon the moon
As we frolicked and ran over the dunes
Though suddenly the darkness fell
And it was as though she had cast a spell
A deeper magic came in with the tide
And I knew I had found my place to hide
I waded back to the slate beach
And Gentle Jane to me did teach
A truth to which I now do need
That nature is all we truly need.
