“Beautiful topsy turvy cottage set in very pretty garden with fields on each side.”

So quiet and peaceful, but only 5 mins to the main road. Location easy to find from directions and the local garage, M&S Simply and Tesco are only 5 mins away. The cottage was well placed for exploring rest of Cornwall with Bodmin, Padstow etc only short drives away. ...

So quiet and peaceful, but only 5 mins to the main road. Location easy to find from directions and the local garage, M&S Simply and Tesco are only 5 mins away. The cottage was well placed for exploring rest of Cornwall with Bodmin, Padstow etc only short drives away. Cottage lovely and clean with all the facilities and equipment you need. Decorated to a high standard with a real airy but cosy feel. Beds lovely and comfortable too. The welcome pint of milk and cider in the fridge was a really nice gesture too after an 8 hour journey. We picked a very warm week and the cottage did at times feel hot downstairs particularly at night time. We also felt extremely lucky to see the barn owl regularly in the barn next to the cottage! We had a really lovely week, thank you to owners.

“We had a wonderful stay at Figtree.”

The cottage is beautiful and really clean with lovely fixtures. We found everything we could have asked for, and really appreciated the high quality furnishings and kitchenware. We spent many evenings sat on the balcony enjoying the view and the doors off the main bedroom were a lovely addition. A real added bonus was the truly dog proof garden. Our beagle usually manages to escape from most gardens that are described as dog proof however she was unable to get out of the garden at Figtree which meant that we could truly relax and enjoy our stay. Finally the views and setting were lovely, and we enjoyed the views of the estuary from the upstairs windows. A short drive took us into Wadebridge for all our shopping needs and we were a short drive from lovely coastal destinations such as Port Isaac, Padstow and Pentire Point. We would highly recommend Figtree and will certainly be back soon.

“We stayed at Figtree 4 years ago & although this time our weather wasn't so great, not many coffees enjoyed on the lovely balcony, the cottage is as welcoming & comfy as ever.”

Thanks to the Venner family. We delighted in seeing a pair of Bull Finches & a Barn Owl in the barn next door each evening. Such a fab location, we certainly recommend this wonderful holiday cottage, & hope to stay again soon.

“Extremely enjoyable stay, marvelous location, well appointed.”

A blind on one of the Velux lights in the main bedroom could not be closed due to previous damage, resulting in early wakening. Owner informed. A minor bother; holiday was excellent.

“The peace and quiet.”

Cornwall is always a busy place no matter where you stay. Good fields to walk the dogs. As long as they are happy then so are we.

“The house was beautiful.”

When you first arrive you wonder what's behind the front door. It was easy to find from the directions given. It's in a fantastic location with views over the Camel Estuary and it was easy to get to places like Port Isaac and Padstow. Although in a great location my mum who is in her 80s could not walk to the pub or to the Camel trail because of steep hills. Only ate out once as the house was so lovely to gather round the dining room table with lots of choices of eateries /takeaways in nearby Wadebridge. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and it was lovely that we could take our family dog.

“Loved Figtree cottage felt like home from home, very comfortable and homely”

“Lovely light filled, secluded upside down cottage.”

I felt it had been cleaned well, and left in a safe way for my stay, observing covid rules. Comfortable beds, and I loved being able to shower with a view of the sky! Nice touches, like the bookcase set into the wall of the hallway, which itself was a good space. The kitchen was well equipped although I feel some of the utensils need to be checked and replaced. A pretty garden which gets plenty of sun, but be warned the decking area is sharp underfoot (anti- slip ridges) and so using it barefoot is not recommended. The parking area is fine but with overhanging trees, the birds enjoyed using my car as a toilet, and I had to wash it 3 times during my stay. Not what I expect to have to do on holiday. Whilst the cottage is secluded, it is a half mile walk downhill to the Camel Trail which takes you into Padstow or Wadebridge depending on which way you walk. And it is a mile uphill to the main road and the bus stop, with links to the same destinations and beyond. Otherwise a car would be essential if staying here. I had a supermarket delivery when I arrived, but there is a large Tesco about 5 mins away in the car.

“Superb position, very well set up so that bad weather simply means spending time in this relaxing cottage.”

Veranda plus garden seating two real bonuses. Owner, Sara Venner, extremely helpful. Third time of staying - says everything...

“Beautiful location and we visited in December.”

Weather was hideous but the cottage was cosy. Sky tv helped as weren’t able to wonder around towns in the evening due to horrendous weather. Owners lovely and secure garden for dogs. All in all a perfect short break visit we needed.

“This is a beautiful, homely cottage that is superbly equipped for holiday living.”

The owners really gave thought of every detail. The tastefully decorated and furnished cottage is in stunning location with views over the Camel estuary from one side and a pretty, enclosed cottage courtyard on the other. A short stroll brings you to the entrance to the Camel trail in one direction or a foody pub in the other direction. The beautiful north coast beaches are all a short drive away and there are supermarkets within 10 minutes drive to stock up on wine! What could be better.

“Myself, my partner and our dog Buzz had a wonderful 3 night stay at figtree cottage and are very sad our weekend break is over!”

! Figtree is so warm and cosy and has everything you could need for a peaceful break in the Cornish countryside. The views are particularly lovely, with easy access to a wonderful walk along the camel river. Figtree is tucked away in a beautiful quiet farm location, you feel as though you are miles from anywhere but actually you are just a short drive to local amenities and some wonderful beaches! We will be back!!

The property

500 yards from the pub at Edmonton and the Camel Trail, a cleverly designed, eco-friendly, smart ‘upside down’ cottage converted from a barn attached to the friendly owners’ ancient cottage, wonderfully tucked away along a no-through road with gorgeous, long, tranquil views over the Camel estuary.

A hundred yards of hardcore farmtrack/footpath lead to it with the occasional passing tractor or walkers.

At the back, a neat enclosed suntrap garden and you are welcome to wander the owners’ kitchen garden to their little wood, all surrounded by sheep/cattle grazed meadows.Inside, mostly wood floors.

Two steps up to entrance to tiled hall and two bedrooms (beds with footboards) - a double (5' bed) with step up to French windows to garden, and a twin (limited clothes-hanging space); smart shower-room (suite, step up into large cubicle).

Beech stairs up to attractively fitted kitchen (slimline dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric cooker); 3 steps down to light, airy living/dining room (TV/DVD) with great views one side and French windows on the other to balcony with steps down to the garden.

A real retreat and a great spot for cyclists/walkers/surfers with easy access to Padstow (and good public transport) via the Camel Trail. Edmonton: hamlet of former stone quarrymen’s cottages (no working quarry near now), excellent family good food pub.

Little-used lane runs one mile down to the Camel estuary (birdwatching) and Camel Trail (cycleway).

Wadebridge, 2 miles; Padstow, 6; the splendid Trevose peninsula beaches, 7½ miles; Camel Valley vineyard (tours, tastings), 8.

Excellent golf, walking, watersports and riding nearby.
