    “Parwin is a wonderful, truly authentic Cornish home.”

    It is beautifully and tastefully decorated throughout and has all the amenities you'd expect from a high end holiday cottage. My family (and dogs!) came down to Parwin for a long weekend stay in January 2024. It was the first time we'd stayed in the property in almost 37 years. Our family owned Parwin from 1982 unti 1987, so it was especially nostalgic to stay in a property which felt so familiar and that already held such good memories for us all. The village of Treknow is well located ...

Our family owned Parwin from 1982 unti 1987, so it was especially nostalgic to stay in a property which felt so familiar and that already held such good memories for us all. The village of Treknow is well located for the amenities of Tintagel (just a five minute drive up the road) and the gorgeous scenery of Trebarwith Strand beach and surrounding cliffs. We'd particularly recommend Sunday lunch at the Mill House Inn. This great pub can be found on the road down from Treknow to Trebarwith. The Port William pub is also a good place to stop off for a pint when you come off the beach, although it is an expensive bar bill! All in all we'd thoroughly recommend a stay in Parwin. A gorgeous, cosy home with everything you'll need for a great time away.

The property

Approached via five steep stone steps (with a rope handrail), Parwin offers a clever mix of contemporary furnishings, pretty fabrics and quirky retro pieces, featuring traditional flagstone flooring on the ground floor.

With a wood burning stove, the sitting room is warm and cosy in contrast with the light and airy kitchen from which patio doors open to an enclosed, raised sun trap courtyard garden.

The patio courtyard has a drop of 2.5 ft to the BBQ therefore toddlers need supervision.

Each of the four bedrooms is individual in style with two twin bedrooms and two king size bedrooms, one of which has a super wet room style en-suite shower room. With the sandy beach at Trebarwith Strand a fifteen minute downhill stroll or a few minutes in the car, Parwin offers the perfect base for families and friends looking to enjoy the beaches, coastal walks, and amazing scenery all of which the north Cornish coast has in abundance.

Lifeguarded in the summer months, Trebarwith Strand Beach has a wide expanse of sand at low tide and a surf school, go on have a go!

There are two pubs in the village, the highly regarded Mill House Inn, just a 5 minute walk from the cottage and The Port William Inn which nestles into the cliff overlooking the beach, less than a mile.

There are lots of beaches and coves to explore; watching for crabs and small fish in the rock pools is a great delight.

The north coast is a haven for water based activities with water skiing, sailing, diving and fishing trips available on The Camel Estuary from the village of Rock, approximately 30 minutes by car.

This beautifully presented house is in the hamlet of Treknow just half a mile inland from the rugged coastline between the pretty fishing village of Port Isaac and the legendary Tintagel.

Famous for its castle ruins Tintagel is said to be the birthplace of King Arthur although today it has more of a holiday atmosphere with cafes and curio shops.

As well as beach activities there are also a wealth of options for golfers, from championship coastal courses such as St Enodoc, and Trevose to the likes of Bowood, Lanhydrock and Roserrow which are suitable for all abilities.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

TINTAGEL

Camelford 5.9 miles; Wadebridge 13 miles.

Tintagel, home of the legendary King Arthur’s Castle, whose ruins dominate the cliffside just outside the village, is a popular but not overcrowded tourist destination. The surrounding area is dominated by the sea, rocky coves and stunning scenery. Several beaches, including nearby Trebarwith Strand and Bossiney Cove, are within easy reach and surfing is the main attraction for those who love the water. Tintagel has several pubs and restaurants and the Old Post Office (National Trust) is a must. For the energetic, the SW Coast Path passes through the village and in both directions it winds its way along the cliffs and down to the water’s edge through dramatic countryside. Head north along the path and in 2.5 miles is the beautiful village of Boscastle with its quaint quay and village pubs for refreshment. Further afield are the surfing meccas of Newquay and Bude, with their resort attractions, while the open spaces of Bodmin Moor, the Eden Project, Padstow, Camel Estuary and Port Isaac are all within a 40-minute drive.

Note: The property is approached via a gate and five steep stone steps (with a rope handrail).

Note: The ground floor of the property is comprised of flagstones (many of these original) which can be slightly uneven in places and may not be suitable for those with mobility issues.

Please note: No Stags or Hens parties are allowed at Parwin
