187 Atlantic Bays is a single‑storey holiday base resting on the Atlantic Bays Holiday Park, in Padstow, Cornwall.
Just a short distance from the dramatic Trevose Head Heritage Coast, this abode suited to families and friends, this lodge offers an open-plan layout, with easy access to some of the region’s most striking scenery.
Arriving at 187 Atlantic Bays, you can park up and step out into a peaceful Cornish setting where the gentle rustle of the coastal breeze and the open skies above offer a warm first impression.
As you stroll towards the lodge, the exterior sets the tone for an easygoing break, inviting you to settle into your holiday pace before you even open the door.
Pushing inside, the open-plan living space feels instantly welcoming, encouraging you to move naturally from one area to the next.
You might wander first to the kitchen where you can set down your bags, put the kettle on and ease into the rhythm of self-catering life.
From here, drift to the dining area, an ideal spot to share simple meals or plan the next day’s adventures, before ambling into the sitting area where you can sink into a comfortable seat and unwind after time exploring the coast.
When you head towards the bedrooms, you can imagine children racing into the triple bunk room to choose their sleeping spot, while the double room provides a calm space to retreat at the end of the day.
The bathroom invites you to run a warm bath after time out in the salt air, or simply freshen up in the overhead shower before heading out again.
Stepping back outside, the surrounding site offers a laid-back holiday atmosphere, with space to stretch your legs before venturing further afield.
A gentle wander brings you to the nearest pub, while the local shop sits a straightforward journey away for gathering essentials.
When it’s time to explore beyond your doorstep, Padstow shapes days out with ease.
The town’s harbour is a natural starting point, where fishing boats bob with the tide and the scent of fresh seafood drifts along the quay.
Wandering its narrow streets reveals independent galleries, boutiques and cafés tucked into historic buildings, each inviting you to slow your pace.
Beyond the harbour, the surrounding coastline opens up towards the Trevose Head Heritage Coast, where dramatic cliffs meet wide skies and coastal paths trace ever-changing sea views.
Whether you spend your time watching the light shift across the water, lingering over lunch by the harbour or setting off on a bracing coastal walk, Padstow offers a rich mix of atmosphere, flavour and scenery close at hand.
With its homely simplicity and well-placed setting for discovering Cornwall’s coast and characterful towns, 187 Atlantic Bays offers a relaxed base for families and friends seeking time together.
