Avon Cottage is a traditional 17th century slate Cornish cottage, in a rural setting, minutes from the North Cornish Coast
and the fishing town of Padstow.

Avon Cottage is a delightful old, character Cornish cottage, situated in the grounds of Woodlands Country House, a large, award winning, Victorian bed and breakfast set in the countryside just a minute or so from Padstow, seven beautiful Cornish Bays and the Atlantic ocean, noted for surfing, sailing and general water activities all year round!

The inventor; Sir Goldsworthy Gurney was born in the Cottage in 1793. Amongst other things, he invented a steam carriage, the Lime Light and lit the House of Lords. You can see his plaque on the side on the cottage (not a blue one in Cornwall, but black for the slate and copper for the copper mined
in Cornwall.
