Modern seaside cottage, dog friendly, 200m from beach at Harlyn Bay. nr Padstow

Popa cottage is a spacious, modern, three-bedroom holiday home at Harlyn Bay, Cornwall, just a short, two-minute walk to one of Britain’s most beautiful sandy beaches, perfect for surfing, long walks and picnics and close to idyllic Padstow. No need to get the car out to go to the beach! Dogs are welcome in the cottage and on the beach!

Located at ‘Polmark Beach Cottages’ a small complex of accommodation surrounded by stunning rural scenery, Popa provides a tranquil and cosy base to relax after a day at the beach. Perfect for families or small groups of friends, the cottage comprises open plan living space with a well-equipped kitchen and three bedrooms, including a master en-suite.

Derek and Steph have recently acquired this cottage and whilst it is an ideal holiday home they plan to continue a programme of home improvements to make the cottage even better. A new kitchen and family bathroom have been installed and the patio area has been decked with a comfy rattan-styled corner suite added. The cottage has everything you might need and is close to some super eateries. (Cornish Arms, The Pig Hotel and Duchy Grub!).

Dogs are welcome in the cottage as well as on the beach.

Lovely and spacious accomodation, with full amenities. Great location just minutes from an excellent large beach (with its own well catered facilities); a shop / cafe and tap bar just 5 mins walk away; and a bus that goes into Padstow that passes nearby. Also a large supermarket 5 mins drive away. The development of cottages that the property is located on, is very well maintained (as is the property itself) and quiet.

The house exceeded our expectations. It was comfortable, clean, well decorated, well equipped and dog-friendly. The location was great, within a few hundred metres of the beautiful sandy Harlyn Bay and the coastal path. The Harlyn taproom is just round the corner for food and drinks, with fish and chips and a small grocery store nearby in St Merryn. We also enjoyed eating at The Cornish Arms near St Merryn.

We had a fantastic stay over Easter and couldn’t have asked for a better holiday home. The property is in an excellent location, just a short walk from the beach, which made it perfect for relaxing days by the sea.Inside, everything was very comfortable, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need during our stay. It really felt like a home away from home.Check-in and check-out were both smooth and hassle-free, and communication with the host was clear and straightforward throughout.All in all, we had an amazing holiday experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Popa cottage is ideally situated for a proper Cornish break. Close to Harlyn Bay for surfing. Close to Padstow for retail therapy and the Camel Trail. Easy walking distance to The Pig for fine dining. The cottage itself is very well appointed making for a very comfortable stay. Lovely time had by all!

Great location

Although it doesn’t have views, it was a very short walk to the beach which was great- no hassle with parking or traffic . The accommodation was very nice and the new kitchen made it feel bright and summery . Had all the things one needed (except a tea pot!) . Harlyn Beach was excellent- good surf , life guards during summer , a cafe/bar/ at the beach side .

Fabulous cottage

We spent 10 days in this delightful and well equipped cottage. We were only two people so plenty of room, but it would have been comfortable for a small family. The kitchen had all we needed, the deck out the back was a great little sun trap, and the cottage is a two minute walk to Harlyn Bay. There is a bus to NewQuay and Padstow right on the doorstep. We loved this cottage and would definitely stay again.

Lovely accommodation in a great location, really close to the beautiful beach at Harlyn Bay. The cottage had everything we needed, the owners have thought of everything. Only criticism is it could have been a bit cleaner. Nothing drastic - crumbs on the worktops and a bit dusty. We had a great week and would definitely return.

Family holiday in Cornwall

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Popa Cottage. The cottage is well positioned in the beautiful village of Harlyn. The accommodation includes very comfortable beds and reclining sofas, super showers, a brilliant kitchen with everything you need (which you don't always find in holiday homes!) and a lovely sunny courtyard garden, which is well protected from the coastal winds. Derek, the host, made booking and arrival very straightforward, and the wine, biscuits and dog treats were a lovely surprise! We highly recommended it!
