About this property

Quirky romantic home, pet friendly with pretty garden near Padstow and Beaches

Ideally situated for exploring Cornwall, The pet friendly Birdsong is a delightful quirky dwelling, part shepherds' hut, part modern property, situated in the quiet rural village of St Issey. It is only 4 miles from the unspoilt fishing harbour of Padstow with its famous Seafood restaurants, boat trips and the scenic Camel Trail cycle way. The beautiful sandy beaches of the stunning North Cornish Coast are also only 4 miles away and offer many exciting beach and surfing activities.
Experience the romanticism captured in the two shepherd hut bedrooms, but with all the modern comfort needed for a relaxing holiday, this special detached home will delight lovebirds looking for a unique break from the norm.

Birdsong is accessed by steps leading up from the private parking space to this lovingly restored property.
Both of the romantic bedrooms are original shepherds' huts with double beds and have been sympathetically restored to make the most of their unusual features. Three steps lead down from the bedrooms to the rest of the property.
The sunny sitting room has comfy chairs and a cosy log burning stove. There are plenty of magazines and books in the bookcase, along with local maps, walking books and holiday suggestions. There is a Freeview TV and DVD player with selection of films and if you are unlucky enough to have to bring your work with you, there is Wi Fi broadband.
The conservatory is the perfect place to relax, overlooking the private patio garden, with French doors leading to the sheltered sunny terrace where you can enjoy Al Fresco dining among the pretty flowering pots, perfect for relaxing afternoons on the sunbeds or evening BBQ's around the fire pit.
The open plan kitchen overlooks the pretty garden, and is well equipped with new dishwasher, electric oven, hob and fridge/freezer.
The bathroom has bath with shower, heated towel rail and washer/dryer machine.
Whether your holiday is with family or friends, for beach holidays or an out of season walking break, Birdsong will make the perfect holiday retreat.

The changeover day is Friday. Short breaks are available on request from the Owner

A lovely peaceful place to stay ✨️

Birdsong was exactly as described and had everything you needed for your stay. The bedrooms were so quirky and different, loved them. Sadly the weather wasn't on our side so we didnt get to sit in the beautiful garden. The cream tea was an added treat, thank you Jane. Would absolutely love to visit again in the future.

Perfect stay for a chill out break

This is the second time i have stayed at Bird Song aka The Trailers. It is a great location with local pub within walking distance, fantastic beaches for dogs with great walks too. Major supermarkets are 5 mins away for all your daily groceries and Padstow just 10 mins away. The cottage is very comfortable for two with a small dog, garden enclosed and safe. Would definately recommend and will return next year again. Thanks to Jane for the great welcome and Cornish Cream Tea. :)

Excellent stay

Very unusual sleeping in shepherds huts which had been well preserved and included everything you needed without losing their originality or character. Very pretty little garden which was a delight to spend time in. Wonderful pub in St Isssy (the ring o bells) which served excellent home cooked food. Our host Jane was very helpful. May come again.

Fantastic stay

Great property adjoining the two shepherd huts with everything you could want (there's a lot packed away in the cupboards, even baking equipment), nice bathroom, lovely conservatory and a sunny private back garden. Excellent comms from the owner right from booking to sorting out any issues (a dead toaster and another triviality), very friendly, suggested things to do as well - and you can't beat a cream tea on arrival 👍 Highly recommended 😀

Skurrile Unterkunft mit wunderschönem Garten

Die Fotos und die Beschreibung entsprechen genau der Unterkunft. Ein liebevoll eingerichtetes Ferienzuhause, in dem sich unsere Familie sehr wohlgefühlt hat. Von St. Issey aus lassen sich unendliche Möglichkeiten finden, wunderschöne Ferien zu verbringen, von dramatischen Stränden, tollen Wanderwegen und Ausflügen in die umliegenden Städtchen oder zu prähistorischen Sehenswürdigkeiten im Bodmin Moor.
