Overview
With room for up to 12 guests, the modern Constantine Retreat is a great place to come together on the North Cornwall coast. Featuring a large garden, two living rooms and six spacious bedrooms, there’s more than enough room for everyone to enjoy this property, just a short walk from the beautiful Constantine Bay.
This peaceful spot just outside Padstow is ideal for a relaxing break. The house is modern and welcoming, with rooms enjoying lots of natural light. The two living rooms offer comfortable sofas and large TVs, with one the upper floor featuring table football, a 50-inch Smart TV and skylights. The other offers a more traditional vibe with a log-burner in the fireplace and lovely garden views.
You have a spacious kitchen and dining area just a few steps away, where you will find a dining table for eight and a breakfast bar. The kitchen is equipped with an American-style fridge freezer, dishwasher, wine cooler and all the essentials.
Across the six bedrooms you have two rooms with a king-size bed and two with doubles, as well as a twin room and one with bunk beds. One bedroom can be found on the ground floor. With three en suites and a family bathroom, Constantine Retreat is well equipped as well as impressively spacious.
You will be well placed to visit the many excellent restaurants of Padstow, around 5km from the house, with the establishments of Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth among the highlights. Several beautiful bays and beaches line this part of the coast, and you’ll find the likes of Trevose Head and Harlyn Bay just a few minutes’ drive away.
You can join the Camel Trail at Padstow and enjoying a lengthy walk or cycle ride amongst stunning countryside. Alternatively, head down the coast to Newquay for more amazing beaches, surfing and family-friendly attractions such as Newquay Zoo and the Blue Reef Aquarium – this ever-popular town is less than 30 minutes from Constantine Bay.

Location
About the surrounding area of Constantine RetreatPretty Constantine Bay lies just 5km from Padstow on Cornwall’s northern coast. A very popular surfing beach, suitable for experienced surfers, Constantine is not far from Harlyn Bay which is considered more suitable for beginners. The large area of golden sand here makes it a popular family choice too.
Constantine Bay is within reach of many of the North Cornwall coast’s best-known destinations, with Port Isaac and Tintagel to the north, and Newquay and Perranporth to the south. Its close proximity to Padstow is ideal if you want to walk or cycle the popular Camel Trail which runs from Padstow to Bodmin.
Padstow itself has been put on the map by TV chef Rick Stein in recent years, and his original establishment, ‘The Seafood Restaurant’, is still a fixture of the town’s food scene. Since 1975, this relaxed eatery has been bringing the best local seafood to Padstow diners and enjoys a wonderful view out over the Camel Estuary. Rick’s are not the only noteworthy places to eat, however. Paul Ainsworth has several restaurants around the area too, including No. 6 and Caffè Rojano.
Not far from Padstow, you’ll find the Camel Creek Adventure Park. This big theme park and play centre has all you will need for an easy family day out. If you cross to the south of the county, you can enjoy similar thrills at Flambards near Helston. A long-time local favourite, this park also throws some historically themed exhibits into the mix, such as Britain in the Blitz and a recreation of a Victorian street.
With Newquay around 30 minutes’ drive from Constantine Bay, you can easily head south and visit Newquay Zoo. There are more than 100 animals to see, including monkeys, lions and zebras. If you are particularly into marine life you won’t want to miss the Blue Reef Aquarium either, another of Newquay’s highlights.
The town’s beaches boast a combined length of seven miles, with Newquay considered by many to be the place to surf in the UK. The largest and most famous of them, Fistral Beach is home to the National Surfing Centre Surf School.
Further south, follow the scenic St Agnes Heritage Coast and you will eventually come to Penwith, where Sennen Cove and Land’s End are among the must-sees. Further on in Porthcurno, the spectacular open-air Minack Theatre is really something special. With the sea as its backdrop, you can arrange to explore the theatre for yourself when there isn’t a show on.
Cornwall has plenty of stunning gardens to admire, and none more famous than those of the incredible Eden Project, which is well worth the 40-minute journey from Constantine Bay. It’s just a little further to the enchanting Lost Gardens of Heligan near Mevagissey, where a tropical jungle is just part of the story.

Region
When it comes to natural good looks, Cornwall sets the bar for UK holiday destinations. From long stretches of sand to the jaw-dropping scenery, this coastal county makes a fabulous retreat for anyone looking to escape the city scene. But most importantly, you quickly realise that you don’t have to fly around the world to seek adventures. With forests, castles and beaches for days, Cornwall is the ultimate staycation - perfect for all ages.
In recent years, Cornwall has come on leaps and bounds and found a newfound style. That being said, discover our range of beautiful large holiday homes in Cornwall to start planning your next holiday!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesYou can create some great memories for the kids with a holiday in Cornwall. With Padstow so near, be sure to hire bikes and cycle the Camel Trail together. Once a railway track, this scenic route runs all the way to Bodmin and is a fine way to enjoy the countryside. Further up the coast from Padstow, the ancient ruins of Tintagel Castle occupy a spectacular clifftop position and are another sight well worth seeing.
If they love wildlife, head south to Newquay’s Blue Reef Aquarium. This impressive aquarium on Towan Beach is full of colourful sea creatures, with fish, reef sharks, lobsters, turtles and many more. Want more? Newquay Zoo has monkeys, meerkats, reptiles, zebras, penguins, lions and dozens of other exotic creatures. Animal lovers will also enjoy Paradise Park and Jungle Barn near St Ives, a wildlife sanctuary with everything from flamingos to red pandas, and the Cornish Seal Sanctuary near Helston.
Newquay’s Pirate’s Quest Adventure Golf is another of the family attractions around the local area, where they can discover tales from the sea while putting around the course. The Lappa Valley Railway is a local favourite, with a soft play area, boating lake and playground as well as charming steam trains to take a ride on. Dairyland Farm Park and Springfield Fun Park are just a short drive away too.
About 15 minutes from Padstow, the Camel Creek Adventure Park is one of the best places in Cornwall for a day of fairground fun. For more, there’s the Flambards Theme Park near Helston which offers historically themed exhibits alongside the rides, including a replica of a Victorian street and a piece-by-piece recreation of a real Cornish chemist’s shop.
They can learn more about Cornish history at the excellent National Maritime Museum in Falmouth. Voted one of the UK’s most family-friendly museums, it features five floors of exhibits and has amazing views over the harbour. In Truro, you will find the largest museum in the county – the Royal Cornwall Museum – for an even wider look at local life.
Alternatively, make your way to the Lost Gardens of Heligan near Mevagissey. With its tropical jungle garden and lots more, it provides a great day out for kids. At the stunning Eden Project there is often something child-friendly going on, with all sorts of activities and special events forming part of an incredible experience. You might even be able to catch a gig there, as A-list stars visit Cornwall for the Eden Sessions.

Thank you!
Constantine Retreat was very well equipped and size cleanliness was spot on. Well worth the money we paid. Must be perfect in the summer months. Had a great time. Bedrooms and bathrooms superb. Spot on. Thanks

A lovely week away!
Constantine Retreat is an extremely comfortable and well appointed house. We've rented many houses and there's always something missing (tea strainer, egg cups etc) Not necessarily anything important ... but Constantine Retreat really seemed to have everything. Great location, very handy for the Constantine Bay stores (which also seems to have everything!) A great week.
