Stunning House in Outstanding Location

Camel Quarry House is a wonderful, contemporary house built with the highest quality materials and expertly designed to maximise its outstanding location, set high above the beautiful Camel Estuary. The main living area with 360-degree views of the Estuary and surrounding countryside is on the top floor and has full-length glass windows on three sides, one of which opens onto a large furnished terrace with BBQ. The spacious bedrooms (mostly ensuite with more wonderful views) are on the lower two floors together with a media room (great choice of DVDs) and a gym in the lower basement. The house is superbly equipped for large groups (including a large walk-in fridge and two dishwashers) and the very helpful Housekeeper lives on site providing daily cleaning and being available to deal with any problems. The feature garden with interesting sculptures, a hot tub and a fire pit leads down to the Camel Trail path (the former railway line for the old quarry) which runs between Padstow and Wadebridge and offers beautiful walks in both directions. The drive to the house which runs through five fields could be a challenge in bad weather for some cars but we managed it in a mini without any problems (as instructed we left the porche at home)! We had a wonderful week in this stunning house and would highly recommend it. Thank you, Emma, for allowing us to share your little piece of paradise!”

What a beautiful experience!

There were eight of us traveling from the United States to stay at the Camel Quarry house this past week. The trip to get there through London is a bit of a hike, but so very worth it! The home has one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen, and is extremely comfortable and well-equipped. The bedrooms were also quite generous in size and have their own bathrooms. Jane, the caretaker of the home, was extremely helpful and even drove us to dinner the night we arrived, as we did not have any transportation. You must have either a car or rent bicycles in order to commute from the home. I would definitely suggest a four wheel drive if you opt for a car. But biking to Paddstowe and Wadebridge along the camel trail was so much fun! We took a quick taxi to Port Isaac, the city in which Doc Martin is filmed, and highly recommend that side trip. We hope to return again in the future, as we all loved our stay! Thank you, Emma! ”
