Nimbus is a charming holiday cottage located in Padstow, Cornwall, within the picturesque South West of England. This property is part of a unique collection of four cottages situated at a historic lighthouse, which was originally constructed in 1847. The lighthouse has undergone several upgrades, including electrification in 1973 and automation in 1995. Nestled on a headland between the beautiful sandy beaches of Harlyn and Constantine Bays, Nimbus offers a tranquil retreat just four miles west of the bustling town of Padstow.
The cottages, including Nimbus, are semi-detached and positioned beneath a headland, perched 75 feet above the sea. They are accessible via a private one-mile road, ensuring a peaceful environment away from the public eye. Guests can enjoy stunning views of the ocean and have the opportunity to observe fishing boats as they navigate in and out of Padstow's harbor. The communal forecourt at the front of the cottages provides parking, while the rear features a shared grass area that is walled and fenced for safety, although it is advised that guests refrain from using this space due to the proximity to the cliff edge.
In addition to Nimbus, the site includes three other holiday cottages: Brook Cottage, Verity Cottage, and Pelorus Cottage, each accommodating four guests. Together, these cottages offer a perfect getaway for families or groups looking to explore the scenic beauty of Cornwall. The South West Coast Path runs along the headland, providing guests with access to breathtaking coastal walks and the chance to immerse themselves in the stunning natural surroundings.
With its pet-friendly policy, Nimbus is an ideal choice for those wishing to bring their furry companions along for the adventure. The combination of historical charm, beautiful coastal views, and the serene atmosphere makes Nimbus and the other cottages a delightful destination for anyone seeking relaxation or outdoor activities in one of England's most beautiful regions.
