CORNWALL

Entwood
Little Petherick, nr Padstow (P094)
Web site: http://www.cornishhorizons.co.uk/entwood_self_catering_padstow_disabled_facilities.htm

A beautiful Canadian Log Home built to the highest standards, beautifully furnished and well equipped, and situated within a wooded valley in the character village of Little Petherick.

This Canadian Log Home is a little different from other you may have seen in that it has some specific alterations for the disabled including a wheelchair lift to the first floor and a shower suitable for wheelchairs in the en suite shower room off the main bedroom. In all other respects, however, it retains the character, warmth and facilities of these delightful and sought-after properties. Located in a pretty rural valley with a stream behind the garden and trees and fields beyond, it is still only a short drive to some of the best beaches in Cornwall as well as the historic fishing town of Padstow, home of Rick Stein’s famous seafood restaurant, numerous places to eat, pubs, interesting shops and working harbour.

Features of Entwood include front and rear balconies, a large deck and a gas fired ‘woodburner’ as well as wood floors and vaulted ceilings creating a spacious and airy home, comfortable and warm all year round. Entwood has balconies front and rear, to make the most of the countryside views, and there is decking at the back – ideal for dining 'al fresco'.

Pets welcome by arrangement at £12 per pet per week
