Bay Retreat Villas

Bay Retreat Villas sits within St Merryn Park, a holiday park on the outskirts of St Merryn village, roughly 5 km from Padstow's harbour. The 4-star villas are managed by Breaks in Cornwall and accept dogs, making them a practical base for families exploring the north Cornwall coast.

Each villa has one double bedroom and one twin bedroom, a balcony, and a private patio with a small garden. The kitchen is well equipped with dishwasher, fridge-freezer, microwave, oven, hob, and washing machine. A lounge and dining area with flat-screen TV complete the living space. Wi-Fi and free on-site parking are included.

The park has its own tennis courts and communal grounds. St Merryn village is 1.6 km away, with local shops, pubs, and a Co-op. Harlyn Bay - a wide sandy beach popular for surfing and kayaking - is a short drive, as are Constantine Bay and Trevone Bay along this stretch of coast.

Padstow itself sits on the west bank of the Camel Estuary, with Rick Stein's restaurants, Paul Ainsworth's Michelin-starred No. 6, and the working fishing harbour all within a 10-minute drive. The Camel Trail cycle path runs 18 miles from Padstow to Bodmin, and bikes can be hired in town. Over 485 guests have reviewed the villas on Booking.com, with an overall rating of 8.2.
