Quirky home with romantic shepherds' hut bedrooms and pretty garden near Padstow

Ideally situated for exploring Cornwall, The pet friendly Birdsong is a delightful quirky dwelling, part shepherds' hut, part modern property, situated in the quiet rural village of St Issey. It is only 4 miles from the unspoilt fishing harbour of Padstow with its famous Seafood restaurants, boat trips and the scenic Camel Trail cycle way. The beautiful sandy beaches of the stunning North Cornish Coast are also only 4 miles away and offer many exciting beach and surfing activities.
Experience the romanticism captured in the two shepherd hut bedrooms, but with all the modern comfort needed for a relaxing holiday, this special detached home will delight lovebirds looking for a unique break from the norm.

Birdsong is accessed by steps leading up from the private parking space to this lovingly restored property.
Both of the romantic bedrooms are original shepherds' huts with double beds and have been sympathetically restored to make the most of their unusual features. Three steps lead down from the bedrooms to the rest of the property.
The sunny sitting room has comfy chairs and a cosy log burning stove. There are plenty of magazines and books in the bookcase, along with local maps, walking books and holiday suggestions. There is a Freeview TV and DVD player with selection of films and if you are unlucky enough to have to bring your work with you, there is a high speed Wi Fi broadband.
The conservatory is the perfect place to relax, overlooking the private patio garden, with French doors leading to the sheltered sunny terrace where you can enjoy Al Fresco dining among the pretty flowering pots, perfect for relaxing afternoons on the sunbeds or evening BBQ's around the fire pit.
The open plan kitchen overlooks the pretty garden, and is well equipped with new dishwasher, electric oven, hob and fridge/freezer.
The bathroom has bath with shower, heated towel rail and washer/dryer machine.
Whether your holiday is with family or friends, for beach holidays or an out of season walking break, Birdsong will make the perfect holiday retreat.


The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

It was a pleasure to come home to Birdsong each evening. It is beautifully decorated, the beds are so comfortable and it had everything we needed. Highly recommended and we will be back. It is well located in a quiet village close to Padstow and Wadebridge. So much to see and do in the local area. Brilliant!

A lovely peaceful place to stay ✨️

Birdsong was exactly as described and had everything you needed for your stay. The bedrooms were so quirky and different, loved them. Sadly the weather wasn't on our side so we didnt get to sit in the beautiful garden. The cream tea was an added treat, thank you Jane. Would absolutely love to visit again in the future.

The Trailers is a very comfortable,beautifully maintained, exceptionally well equipped,. clean property. It is situated in a quiet location which is easy to find and within easy reach of any required amenities. It is ideally situated for all areas of Cornwall . We had a wonderful week's break, together with our dog, and would definitely recommend this property to a friend or relative. Jan

Birdsong Cottage

Beautiful cottage and secluded garden in a lovely village a few miles outside of Padstow. The cottage is furnished very nicely, is immaculate and has everything needed for a self catering holiday. The trailers ( bedrooms) are so quaint giving the cottage a quirky romantic feel, as described. We took our dogs ( cottage is dog friendly) and enjoyed long walks along the Camel trail into Padstow as well as visiting other areas of Cornwall . Highly recommended 👌

Perfect stay for a chill out break

This is the second time i have stayed at Bird Song aka The Trailers. It is a great location with local pub within walking distance, fantastic beaches for dogs with great walks too. Major supermarkets are 5 mins away for all your daily groceries and Padstow just 10 mins away. The cottage is very comfortable for two with a small dog, garden enclosed and safe. Would definately recommend and will return next year again. Thanks to Jane for the great welcome and Cornish Cream Tea. :)

Lovely cosy retreat

Arrived after a 5 1/2 hour journey down from Yorkshire to Hot Cross Buns & Easter Eggs! A lovely welcome gesture! Absolutely loved this quirky cosy place, it has a very homely feel and has everything you need including kindling for the log burner. We even managed to sunbathe in the lovely little garden on the first day before the storms came. The Pickwick Inn does excellent meals and the Trailers is an excellent base to explore Cornwall which included Rick Steins Seafood Restaurant in Padstow, Newquay, Eden Project,Lands End and the amazing Minack Theatre.Will definitely return,hope the sun shines next time!

Excellent stay

Very unusual sleeping in shepherds huts which had been well preserved and included everything you needed without losing their originality or character. Very pretty little garden which was a delight to spend time in. Wonderful pub in St Isssy (the ring o bells) which served excellent home cooked food. Our host Jane was very helpful. May come again.

Fantastic stay

Great property adjoining the two shepherd huts with everything you could want (there's a lot packed away in the cupboards, even baking equipment), nice bathroom, lovely conservatory and a sunny private back garden. Excellent comms from the owner right from booking to sorting out any issues (a dead toaster and another triviality), very friendly, suggested things to do as well - and you can't beat a cream tea on arrival 👍 Highly recommended 😀

Die Fotos und die Beschreibung entsprechen genau der Unterkunft. Ein liebevoll eingerichtetes Ferienzuhause, in dem sich unsere Familie sehr wohlgefühlt hat. Von St. Issey aus lassen sich unendliche Möglichkeiten finden, wunderschöne Ferien zu verbringen, von dramatischen Stränden, tollen Wanderwegen und Ausflügen in die umliegenden Städtchen oder zu prähistorischen Sehenswürdigkeiten im Bodmin Moor.

Lovely little cottage style holiday home

This was a lovely little cottage style holiday home with lots of room, conservatory and garden very peaceful, we had our first morning coffee and breakfast here and looked forward to the day ahead. Bedrooms are Shepherds huts which was quirky but comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed our week here and found the information supplied very helpful. We were out every day and drove to St, Ives, Mevagissey, Fowey and also visited Padstow which was just 10 mins away. If you do go, its a must to visit Rick Stein Seafood Restaraunt, its amazing. Taxi there and back with Miller Taxis was very reasonable. All in all a lovely place to stay, plenty of supply of towels and linen. Parking is right by the Trailers, a few steps to the front door but not many. We had a lovely time and would definately book again and recommend. Thank you for the Cream Tea on arrival Jane, enjoyed very much. Angie Taylor

Lovely cottage with a very homely feel. Perfect spot outside Padstow to explore North & South Cornwall. All amenities you could need are provided for and the quirk of the two enclosed trailers is a nice touch. Outside space is private and excellent for an evening meal or just a lazy spot if sunbathing. Even our small dogs were catered for with a selection of toys and treats. Would definitely recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to enquire and stay again in the future.
