About the host
Hosted by Coachmans Cottage
Tom and Sandy Chadwick have lived in St Kew since 1979, initially running six holiday apartments in a big old house. When our children left home we downsized, converting our stables into a comfortable home, “Reskesen”, and the adjacent coach house into a home for Tom’s mother. This cottage we now let as “Coachmans Cottage”, and, yes, it really was a coach house!
Why they chose this property
St Kew is a very small, peaceful village set in rural North Cornwall, close to some spectacular stretches of the north coast, whilst being just far enough inland to escape the busy coastal scene. Coachman’s Cottage was originally a coach house, now converted into a charming and cosy two bedroom cottage at the end of a 100 metre private drive, surrounded by three acres of woodland gardens. This idyllic rural setting in a sheltered valley location offers peace and quiet, and visitors are encouraged to use and enjoy the garden, whether for breakfast, a barbecue or just drinks on the terrace. Some of our magnificent trees are hundreds of years old, and the huge variety of plants, the tumbling streams, exuberant shrubberies and the sweeping lawns create a wonderful environment for wildlife: from barn owls to goldcrests, newts to otters, several species of bats, an occasional deer, and a dazzling display from damselflies and butterflies. This is a very special place.
The 15th century St Kew Inn, serving Cornish ales and great food is about 300 metres away. Just 3 miles away is the little harbour village of Port Isaac (better known as Port Wenn to Doc Martin fans); within six miles are the popular beaches of Polzeath, Rock, and Daymer Bay, variously popular for surfing, sailing and other water sports. Padstow is just the other side of the estuary, and a few miles up the coast are the historic villages of Boscastle and Tintagel. Wadebridge is a pleasant little town just 5 miles away which provides all the usual amenities; also easy access to the Camel Trail, great for miles of off-road walking and cycling (bike hire available), much of it alongside the fabulous Camel Estuary. There are a number of golf courses. in the area, including the St Kew course just one mile away, and the spectacular St Enodoc just six miles away.
