Sleeps 7 + 1
7 nights from 21-28 December 2024, £1,736
Feel the Christmas glow from this cosy retreat tucked away from the bustle of Padstow, yet just footsteps from the restaurants, boutiques and twinkling lights of the harbour. Whether you’ve been filling up with festive food from the town’s delis and bakeries, snapping up stocking fillers in the artisan shops, or strolling in the wintry sea air, come home to conjure up a royal feast in your high-spec kitchen, settle down beside the log burner for port and charades, and slumber in the window seats while soaking up sparkling estuary views.
The Old Forge House, Trevone

7 nights from 21-28 December 2024, £2,702
Yo-yo between winter adventures and a cosy family retreat, when you bag the luxurious Old Forge House for Christmas. Perfectly situated between Padstow and the beach, you can dip in the Trevone sea pool then bubble in your private hot tub, feast on fine local ingredients from the nearby farm shop, or don your glad rags for a fancy Christmas dinner in town. However, you might prefer to kick back by the log burner in the cosy upstairs snug, watching back-to-back festive films with an ocean backdrop and a box of Quality Street.

Light, spacious and beautifully decorated, Fifteen is made for a memorable Christmas in a funky, festive ambience. Ideal for families and friends who want to be close to the action in a cool family home, here you can roll up the blinds to estuary views, stroll along the estuary for freshly-baked breakfast pastries, or freewheel along the Camel Trail to buy last minute gifts in the market town of Wadebridge.
