Annet is a gorgeous Cornish holiday cottage which is full of character and located in the centre of the little village of St Issey, just three miles from the popular ancient fishing port of Padstow.
This quaint holiday cottage is situated directly opposite and across the road from the fourteenth century church. There is a public footpath to the side of the property which you can follow down to the Camel Trail, which offers a 27 mile trail for cyclists and walkers that follows a disused railway line from Padstow, through Wadebridge and Bodmin, to Dunmere and Poley's Bridge.
Padstow is a peaceful 45 minute walk from the cottage and for those feeling more energetic, Wadebridge is a couple of hours away on foot (and a lot quicker on bike which you can either bring from home or hire in Padstow or Wadebridge).
North Cornwall has a wonderful rugged coastline which makes up part of the coastal footpath boasting spectacular scenery and endless hours of pleasure for ramblers and walkers. It offers a variety of beautiful golden beaches including: Harlyn Bay, Daymer Bay, Rock (adjacent to Padstow), Constantine Bay, Treyarnon Bay and Trevone Bay.
If you enjoy visiting gardens then you will not be disappointed with The Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Trelissick Gardens, all making wonderful days out. There are plenty of watersports to enjoy including water-skiing, sailing, wind Surfing and boating and there are a choice of local golf courses to enjoy amongst beautiful coastal scenery.
There is an excellent public transport service through the village of St Issey to Padstow, Wadebridge and beyond and the village also has a local pub which comes highly recommended for food, drink and local chit chat! There are a wide range of shops in Padstow and Wadebridge, including hairdressers, greengrocers, supermarkets, galleries and gift shops and you will be spoilt for choice with many excellent and famous restaurants within easy reach.
