Mullets’ extremely spacious, upside-down accommodation makes the most of the wonderful uninterrupted views across to the Iron bridge and Padstow. The little church of St Michael, a particularly lovely sweep of fields opposite, and boats riding at anchor all combine to provide a scene of tranquillity.

The large garden has private steps down to Porthilly Beach and is quite a feature as there's nothing between you and the sand.

Just imagine lying in bed planning what the day has in store, with the sliding doors open, listening to the gulls and oyster catchers – sheer bliss!
