Guests say
Merryn Cottage in Padstow is highly praised for its prime location and dog-friendly environment. Guests appreciate the property's cleanliness, cosy atmosphere, and the efficient service provided by Cornish Horizons. The cottage is well-equipped and offers a warm, welcoming stay, with many guests planning to return. While overwhelmingly positive, one review mentions dampness and a need for refurbishment.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be very clean and well-presented, with only a single review citing it as damp and grubby. The positive remarks about cleanliness from several guests lead to a high score.
The location is consistently described as excellent, with the cottage being in the heart of Padstow, close to local amenities and ideal for dog owners. The prime location is a standout feature in the reviews.
Guests find the cottage cosy and comfortable, with a warm atmosphere and a comfortable bed mentioned. However, the lack of a garden and the mention of a 'small and quaint' space suggest that while comfort is high, it may not be perfect for everyone.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen, good internet, and a wood burner. However, one review mentioned slippery slate flooring and another suggested the need for refurbishment, indicating room for improvement.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Fabulous fisherman’s cottage in the heart of the old town - perfect location for us & the hound as everything we love is so close. Provides all that is needed for a wonderful Cornish holiday. We’ve stayed here before & will stay again!

We found the cottage damp, grubby and depressing in need of a spring clean and refurbishment.
