The Property

  • Atmosphere

The superb location of Booby’s Bay Cottage really defines the house. Set in a large plot, one of only four houses along Booby’s Bay, the property is in the perfect location for a beach holiday. Inside Booby’s Bay Cottage retains plenty of character whilst being very welcoming and comfortable with good sized comfortable bedrooms and plenty of living space.  The house really can cater for two or even three families with ease. The outside space is huge with a massive lawned area, all in all Booby’s Bay Cottage provides a very special space to create the best holiday memories.

  • Sleeping

The two main bedrooms lie at either end of the landing upstairs. One double room is furnished with a King sized bed and has a wash basin. The sea side of the room opens out onto a balcony with breath-taking views across the full width of the panorama, from Treyarnon, past Constantine and Booby’s Bay straight ahead, and then up to Trevose Head away to the right. At the far end of the landing is the super king room (this can be made up as a twin if required), no balcony here, but still stunning views and a modern ensuite shower room. Both rooms have plenty of wardrobe space and chest of drawers.

Next door to the ensuite room is a twin room with basin, drawers and built-in wardrobe. Again the views over the sea and garden are impressive. The single room is further back along the landing, past the bathroom which is located at the back of the house. Half-way up the stairs, there is another twin room. Large and spacious with hanging space and a wash basin, this is a comfortable room although without the special views of the front-facing rooms.

Downstairs, down a corridor off the sitting room, can be found the last bedroom with large ensuite, this room again is made up as two twin beds or as a super king bed on request. It has an interesting stained glass window, a TV, and its own outside door onto the sheltered side terrace. This makes the room almost self-sufficient. It has been converted to suit all but particularly for disabled guests or those who do not want to tackle the stairs, both in terms of access and also in respect of the facilities in the large shower room. It is a very welcome addition for all.

  • Bathrooms

The main bathroom is located off the landing upstairs.  It has a bath, basin, loo and heated towel rail but is fairly small. The ensuite upstairs has a large walk in shower cubicle, basin and loo. Downstairs off the kitchen there is another shower, used particularly to shower off after the beach but it is also useful at all other times. The ensuite off the downstairs bedroom is large and well equipped again with a large modern shower unit, loo and basin. Finally, there is a separate cloakroom off the small hall near the front door.

  • Living

The very large centre of Booby’s Bay Cottage is split in two by double glass doors. They lead into the spacious dual aspect sitting room furnished with an open fireplace, TV and DVD. Three sofas dominate the room, providing plenty of space for all to relax. French doors open into the sun room which has a table and chairs, a useful room for sitting and eating when the weather is not quite fine enough to be outside. A door leads from here to the outside, first into a small open but covered area, and then onto the lovely patio area that stretches around the house.

  • Kitchen and Dining

The large and well-equipped kitchen contains an electric cooker with induction hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, second large fridge and secondary freezer, washing machine, tumble-dryer, dishwasher, as well as plenty of cook and tableware. There is a walk-in larder for you to store dry goods.  The breakfast table in front of the window is well loved by children – lined up for boiled eggs and toast with the glorious garden and ocean ahead of them. It’s also a nice place to enjoy a glass of wine with whoever is cooking that evening.

Next door is the dining room, a round wooden table provides seating for up to eleven. There is a large in-built dresser along one wall which contains glasses  and table linen. Windows open out onto the terrace outside. There are many other places to serve meals at Booby’s, the sunroom on the terrace at the front or on the side terrace.

  • Facilities

The house has modern central heating that works well when needed. There is wireless broadband, washing machine, tumble-dryer and a dishwasher in the kitchen. There are 2 TVs and a DVD.

Outside

The garden is large, laid to lawn with ample space for football, cricket or golf practice with loads of space to run about in. The main terrace runs around the front of the house with a wide low wall as a border, perfect for relaxing on, eating ad hoc meals or just to dry towels and wetsuits over. At the front side of the garden there is also a raised rounded wall, perfect for looking out to sea and endless fun for the children. Steps up and over on the right and a gate on the left both lead across the headland to the cliff edge. The outside table can be used in various locations, on the front wide terrace, on the grass to the south side, on the sheltered side terrace or behind the house on the small lawn. There is also an additional sunken and paved area near the gate to the beach, perfect for lunch if a real wind blows when you are staying. A new stone built shed can be used to store surfboards and beach gear and resin sunloungers are provided for guest use. There is enough space to park three or four cars in the driveway at the front.

Nearby

Booby’s Bay Cottage is located in a dramatic position between the golf course and the sea. The beaches at Booby’s Bay and Constantine Bay are just moments away. Head left from the garden towards Constantine and the easiest ways down to Booby’s. The cliffs and rocks yield many routes down to the beach, some quicker and easier than others. To the right, there are two smaller pebble beaches, before heading over a stile up the coast path to Trevose Head. The main beach is covered at high tide, but as the tide retreats a large stretch of golden sand is revealed, with the most perfect framing of rocks and pools. Many hours can be spent swimming in the pools or just exploring.

Walks are great in both directions, all around Trevose Head to Mother Ivey’s or head south to Constantine and onto Treyarnon and beyond. The short course at Trevose runs down behind Booby’s, so you will often hear the noise of golf shots being played. The club house is a 10 minute walk or short drive away. For shopping St Merryn is nearby by car or you can walk to Constantine Bay Stores along the beach in 15 minutes or so. There are a number of restaurants in St Merryn – from take-away through good family cafes to very fine dining. Padstow is close, for elegant shopping, art galleries and all manner of dining and food. Here you can also catch the ferry across to Rock and Polzeath or just take a boat trip. With so much to do all round Booby’s, it’s hard to beat.

Wonderful house just like returning home!

Stayed: 1st Sep 2023

Very pleased with new garden table and chairs – thank you

We were pleased with the new paintwork but some of the cupboard doors stick, for example the glasses cupboards in the dining rooms
Thank you Raintree and Andy for being responsive when needed – and we like the fresh linen and towels as usual
And thank you Raintree for organising exceptionally good weather for our week this year!

Stayed: 7th Jul 2023

It was great to see all the improvements at BBC..new outside table and chairs, kitchen worktops, fresh paint, bedroom lights etc. All much appreciated by everyone! Only thing we found tricky was the dishwasher which didn’t seem to dry things…may have been operator error however!
Lastly, thanks so much for giving us the option for our son to have his Skype meeting yesterday which in the end wasn’t needed. Also wanted to say how lovely the housekeeping team were when they arrived at 10 yesterday. They were charming and patient as we gathered our last few things together!
Thanks for everything. See you next year!

Stayed: 16th Jun 2023

Stayed: 31st Mar 2023

We have had a wonderful time at Booby’s bay Cottage, and over the two weeks all the family visited  at different times.

The house was fine for us as usual and no  problems….the weather did not deter the barbecues…though the wind was unusually
strong this year but did not deter our outdoor escapades.

We will be hoping to book with you next year again.

Stayed: 10th Mar 2023

We had a super week, thank you, and thoroughly enjoyed both being on our own at the cottage and having such a special place to share with family and friends.
