Trevorrick Farm, St Issey, near Padstow, Cornwall, PL27 7QH
Parc en Vine is our holiday cottage located on the edge of the village of St Issey, close to Padstow and the north Cornwall coast. It is only 1 mile from our main holiday cottage business at Trevorrick Farm (see www.trevorrick.co.uk).
Guests who stay at our Parc en Vine cottage have access to our facilities at our main holiday cottage business at Trevorrick Farm only 1 mile along the lane. This includes:
* Indoor heated swimming pool (Easter to end
October)
* Indoor games room with table tennis, air hockey, snooker, table football
* Outdoor play areas with trampoline, climbing frame, play combine harvester
* Ducks to feed
* Broadband internet access
* Trundle toys
* Large sandpit
* Roosting barn owls with Owlcam
The heated indoor swimming pool measures approximately 32' long x 16' wide x
4' deep throughout. It is open from the Easter holidays until the end of October
(to avoid disturbance to other guests normal opening hours, subject to pool
maintenance, are 10am to 7pm, or dusk if earlier). Within the swimming
pool building are areas for the younger children to play with a wooden train
set, dolls house and some other toys. Slightly older children can play table tennis.
A full sized snooker table is available for adults. Also a
"professional" table football game and air hockey table are available - great fun for all ages.
Outside there are climbing frames and swings and a paved area for the trundle toys. We have a 14' trampoline which is always very popular. Plenty of picnic benches are provided near to and further away from the play areas to relax. For smaller children we have a large sandpit with 2 tons of seaside sand!! New in 2007 was a large play (Kidbine) combine harvester for the children, which reflects the history of Trevorrick as a grain farm under previous owners.
Whilst we are not a working farm, we do have some ducks, bantams and geese and 2 rabbits. Helping to feed the ducks is popular with children and adults love them too! Our summer resident pigs prove very popular, and on those long summer nights, "owl" watching has proved a popular pastime, as for the last 3 or 4 years we have had a breeding pair of barn owls. This year (2008) we have had 6 owlets hatch, which can be seen on our "Owlcam".
Children can find other areas to play on the climbing frames and slides, or a field to fly a kite. Trevorrick has plenty of space to relax.
A separate room with comprehensive tourist information, pay phone and washing machines, tumble drier and sink is also available, and outside is a rotary clothes airer.
In the village of St Issey, there are two pubs (The Ring O'Bells and the Pickwick Inn). The Seafood Restaurant in Padstow of TV fame, run by Rick Stein, has an international reputation. However, it is essential to book well in advance. The closest pub / restaurant to Parc en Vine is the Ring o'Bells (only about 200m) with the Pickwick Inn, half a mile along the quiet lane leading to Trevorrick Farm. The Pickwick, which is restaurant quality using locally sourced ingredients where possible, always has glowing reports from our guests, and we are receiving increasing recommendations for the Ring O'Bells, a friendly traditional village inn using local ingredients.
A tennis court is available for hire (approx £5 per hour) at the Pickwick Inn (0.5 mile from Parc en Vine).
