River View, Wadebridge
Holiday Cottage in Wadebridge
Sleeps 4 - Bedrooms 2 - From £343
River View is a bright, spacious, terraced house in the popular market town of Wadebridge with wonderful views of the Camel just above the 15th century, multi-span bridge that crosses the estuary. The half way point on the Camel trail where you can cycle alongside the river, downstream to Padstow or upstream to Bodmin. This is a great location for a family holiday.
Property Details
River View is a terraced house, split over four levels, with lovely views from the master bedroom and living room down to the Camel River meandering above the eponymous 15th-century bridge. Entrance is to the front of the property, which is staggered over two levels between the front and rear with a few steps between each and fabulous views of the Camel River and cricket pitch, on the far side, from both the living room and master bedroom. Wadebridge is at the halfway point of the Camel trail that follows the idyllic Camel Valley from Bodmin in the east with the river twisting through woods and glades, through Wadebridge and opening out into the tidal estuary stretching 5 miles further west towards Padstow.
Padstow and Rock are a short drive or a lovely walk/cycle ride away, Padstow is famous for being the heart of Rick Stein's fish empire, but the exquisite cuisine goes further as it is also the home of Paul Ainsworth's Michelin starred restaurant "No 6." From Padstow, there is a great ferry ride over to Rock, one of the more affluent areas in Cornwall with beautiful beaches stretching round to Daymer Bay and Polzeath and on to Port Isaac (The fictional home of Doc Martin), further west, and the dramatic Bedruthan steps will lead on towards golden sands of Mawgan Porth and Newquay.

Property Location
Wadebridge was originally a market town. It has an amazing 15th century bridge with 17 arches over the River Camel, which is definitely worth a visit. It is said the bridge was built on wool as this was how the wealthy landowners in the area made their money. From the day the bridge was built the town became known as Wadebridge. The Royal Cornwall Show ground at Wadebridge hosts the county show every June, come rain or shine, opened each year by a member of the Royal Family. Cornish Farmers have had to diversify in recent years and so has the show, but they have kept their traditional roots with steam engines being shown next to the shiny new high-tech tractors. It's not every day you get to see show jumping followed by formation JCB digger dancing in the main ring.
Both Wadebridge and nearby Camelford are centrally located in order to explore the nearby hills and moors. Wadebridge is the perfect base, being the half way point, from which to discover the Camel Trail, a walk and cycle track following the old railway route from Bodmin to Padstow. There is wonderful scenery and plenty of wildlife, including fantastic sightings of wading birds to see on this serene trail and bikes can be hired from Bodmin, Wadebridge or Padstow. From Padstow you could take a boat trip across the Camel Estuary to Rock, and lounge on the beautiful beach that stretches all the way around to Daymer Bay. The National Lobster Hatchery neighbours Rick Steins empire in Padstow.
The National Trust have three properties nearby, Lanhydrock House, Trerice and Carnewas and the dramatic cliffs and beach at Bedruthan Steps. Or if you fancy something different try a tour around the Camel Valley Vineyard, Cornish Wine has been growing in stature around the world and their sparkling wines are truly stunning, having picked up lots of international awards, go for a tasting you will not be disappointed!
Wadebridge boasts a selection of pubs, shops and a cinema. Padstow is of course home to Rick Stein's empire and is definitely worth a visit. There is a large Tesco store approximately 1/2 mile from the cottage. There are some wonderful walks nearby, explore the stunning coastal footpath with magnificent views over secluded coves with golden beaches, crashing surf and towering headlands or alternatively head inland and explore the rugged beauty of Bodmin Moor.

4.8 out of 5
Great location, wonderful home, a week of comfort.
Reviewed on 02/10/2020We stayed at River View in September 2020 after our holiday abroad was cancelled. I was immediately impressed with the cleanliness of the house, we instantly knew it had been made COVID-19 secure. The location is fantastic, Wadebridge is a great little town with a lot to keep you going like a Co-Op, Tesco, M&S Food and numerous independent shops. You're not too far for the rest of Cornwall whether that's north, south, east or west. The house is well appointed, plenty of seating and light in every room. Kitchen is well stocked with plates, cups and other Utensils. The view out of the main bedroom is a delight and was always lovely to wake up to in the morning.
