Stunning, Contemporary Cottage in village close to Padstow

***Get in touch for short stay deals and reduced occupancy deals (this only applies to stays of 7 or more nights). We operate a strict no dog/pet policy.
Beautiful Saffron Cottage is a true 'home from home' . When you step into this contemporary, light filled and immaculate property, your Cornish holiday can really start! We have tried our utmost to ensure that your stay is as comfortable and relaxing as possible with everything you can want or need. We have owned the cottage for six years and each year, we update, decorate and improve it.
The ground floor has a large open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. There are plenty of comfy sofa's, throws and cushions to relax on, a smart TV with Netflix and plenty of DVD's, a Bose speaker and lots of books and games to enjoy with a cosy wood burner and underfloor heating to ensure that whatever the weather holds, you can enjoy the cottage at any time of the year. There is a generous dining table with eight chairs, ideally placed to relax and keep the chef company in the lovely, well organised kitchen, complete with everything you need to cook, bake and entertain if you want to. There is a Nespresso coffee machine for the caffeine hit!
Large sliding glass doors open out onto a spacious, sunny area which is entirely composite decking. A large table and eight chairs, with parasol, BBQ and a bistro table/chairs ensure that you have all that you need to enjoy the sunshine and countryside views. There are sunbeds too if you don't head to one of the fabulous nearby beaches!
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom (with a bath). Each bedroom has been thoughtfully decorated to provide useful storage and maximum comfort for a good night's sleep. The master bedroom has a very comfy king size Simba bed/mattress and an en-suite shower room. There is a double bedroom, twin bedroom and a bunk room. Whilst the bunks are full size, this room is really intended to be used by children, rather than adults.
Outside, there is a large, lockable Biohort shed which can hold bikes and boards during your stay if you wish to bring them. At the front of the cottage, there is a beautiful bench (useful for pulling wellies on and off, or to relax on!) there are two large raised borders with mature shrubs, ferns, agapanthus and lavender borders. The cottage is shielded from the lane with mature hedging and there is parking for up to three cars. There is an outside tap, hose and hooks - ideal for rinsing off sandy gear and wetsuits.
We have flexible changeover days, usually over the weekend. Please email us to discuss days and if we can accommodate you, then we will try our best. The same applies if you are only travelling as a small group/couple or would like a slightly shorter stay. This will only apply during the quieter months... again, if we can help, then we will do so.
Our customers tell us they enjoy the overall property condition at this vacation home. During your stay, you'll be close to Watergate Bay Beach. You'll find features like laundry facilities. The vacation home includes amenities such as a kitchen and 3 bathrooms.
  • The vacation home offers a kitchen, a washing machine, and 3 bathrooms
  • Amenities include laundry facilities
  • Just a 5-minute drive from Padstow Maize Maze and 6 minutes from Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
As a guest of this vacation home, you'll find barbecue grills, a garden, and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

Stunning Cottage

Absolutely beautiful. Spotlessly clean, amazingly well equipped had everything. Very spacious bigger than we thought. Lovely sized decking area. Large BBQ which we used twice. Set in a lovely small village peaceful and relaxing. Short distance to beaches and Padstow. There was 7 of us altogether and ample space without being on top of each other. WE loved it and would definately recommend to family and friends. If looking for a 4 bedroom property,look no further. Sheila and John Keetch and family from Bristol.

Great property & location

We enjoyed our stay at Saffron Cottage which was comfortable, clean and well equipped. Just a short drive to Padstow and great surf lessons with Waves Surf School at various beautiful beaches on the north Cornwall coast. Just over half an hour to the Eden project, Adrenalin Quarry or jet skiing from St Austell - with 4 teenagers in tow there was lots to keep them entertained.

Lovely property in a great location

We had a great stay in Saint Ervan. The property is contemporary, well equipped and clean. It has a lovely deck overlooking some fields and the kitchen/dining/lounge area is more spacious than the photos show. We found the location to be very convenient and easy for getting to Padstow, Wadebridge and the nearby beaches for surfing. The lanes around the house and St Ervan mean you don't get stuck in holiday traffic, which is a real bonus. I'd definitely recommend this property if you're looking to stay in the Padstow/North Cornwall area. Ps if you have kids, the Cornwall Birds of Prey Centre is great

Fabulous Stay, will be returning!

An amazing stay at Saffron Cottage, absolutely perfect for families. We have two young children (4 years old) and the house would be perfect for all ages. Beautiful outlook onto fields and brilliantly located for access to Padstow, numerous beaches (Porthcothan, Harlyn Bay & Constantine Bay) and a number of great restaurants (The Pig was exceptional). Super responsive host and the house had everything you could need for a stay - beach chairs, good quality home furnishings and comfortable bed and bed linen. Already planning our next stay. Thank you Sarah!

The house was amazing, the thought put into it surpassed all expectations. The kitchen was stocked with every piece of crockery, pot or pan you could possibly need. When we arrived we found a lovely welcome basket on the table with Cornish tea, coffee, biscuits etc , there was even fresh milk left in the fridge . Great location close to lots of beaches and in a beautiful rural village and only a short drive to Padstow Hosts were brilliant , friendly and helpful Thank you for a brilliant holiday !

A lovely break!

We had a fantastic week at Saffron Cottage. It is one of the best holiday lets we have stayed in - everything you could want, the owners have thought of. Yes it is in a quiet hamlet, but really no more than 5 mins to the amenities of St Merryn and it was nice to be out of the way during the high season! We would have no hesitation with booking again and are already looking at dates for next year.

Fabulous Holiday Cottage in beautiful little village of Rumford!

Just arrived home from a wonderful week’s holiday at Saffron Cottage with my husband, daughter and her partner. The cottage was beautiful, a credit to its owner Sarah. Situated in a lovely quiet village and in a wonderful position to visit all the beautiful bays nearby. The cottage is just as the photos show but has recently had a beautiful decking put down which was lovely to relax on and sunbathe after a days sightseeing. Lovely open plan area downstairs - I have no negative comments to give and I am sure we will be back if Sarah allows. Sarah couldn’t have been more helpful and concerned that we had everything we required. Thanks for a lovely holiday. Alison.

Cornwall Staycation

The property was a very good standard and really well equipped. The location was a wee bit remote but most amenities just a shortish drive away. Beds were clean and comfy. In my opinion it would enhance the outside experience if an area could be utilised as a bbq operation in the decking rather than as is around the side of the house! Overall we had a very enjoyable stay.

Cornish getaway

Saffron Cottage is a very nice place to stay. The village of Rumford is very small - no pub or shop - but Padstow is very close for Tesco and plenty of places to eat. Need to book in advance at most pubs and restaurants. Cleanliness of cottage was top notch and the kitchen was kitted out like our own homes - brilliant. Beds were comfy and any small problem we had was dealt with very quickly. I would definately return sometime.

A perfect holiday cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Saffron Cottage. The cottage itself is beautiful, well furnished and very well equipped - it had everything we could possibly need. The layout worked perfectly for 2 young families and we had plenty of space. Communication with the owner, Sarah, was excellent and we really appreciated her flexibility with checking in and the welcome goodies! The cottage is well placed for exploring the surrounding area, with lots of beautiful beaches/coastal walks within a short drive. We found Padstow was really convenient for meals out as well. We just hope we get the opportunity to stay here again in the future!

Cosy Cornish Cottage

We loved every minute of our stay at this wonderful cottage. There is so much space to enjoy as a family or individually and the cottage is very well equipped. We loved the board games and cards of an evening. It's in a great location to get out and explore North Cornwall. We went in Oct so it was great to have a blustery day out and to come home to the cottage. Thanks to Sarah and the team for making us so welcome.

Late Summer holiday in Cornwall

We had a lovely weeks stay in late September in Saffron Cottage, Rumford, Cornwall. Saffron Cottage is a modern, warm and welcoming place to stay, tucked away in the small village of Rumford which is a short drive from Padstow and several beautiful Cornish beaches. Sarah the owner was extremely helpful during our stay and could not have been more welcoming. Saffron Cottage was an excellent place to stay.

A week at Saffron Cottage

The biggest complement I can pay this property and it’s owner is that I could quite happily live here. The house itself is fabulous with a large open plan living space downstairs and 4 cosy bedrooms upstairs. All the requirements for a carefree holiday have been thought of and are available in the house which was spotless for our arrival. The location in a very quiet hamlet is good for the beaches and Padstow is only a ten minute drive away. Communication with the owner Sarah was spot on who was helpful with all our needs. With Sarah’s permission we will definitely be back next year providing we can find the right availability.

Great base for exploring North Cornwall

The house is in a great location to explore all of North Cornwall. We loved the proximity to Padstow (10 minute drive and ample parking) to walk around the beaches and harbour, eat ice cream and gorge on Rick Stein fish and chips! The location of the house enabled us to easily to get to many other beaches (Harlyn Bay, Bude, Newquay) all within an hour. The house itself was a great space for our family of 2 adults and 3 kids. It could have easily accommodated another two adults. The downstairs space is nice and open for all the family to watch a movie, with separate space to get some peace and quiet. The bedrooms are all large with a nice en suite in one. The extra shower downstairs was also useful to accommodate a larger family. The check in process was straightforward and the house had been given a deep clean due to the current Covid climate. Communication with Sarah was very good before during and after the stay. I would definitely recommend staying in Saffron Cottage for a trip to Cornwall.
