Guests find the beds comfortable and the property spacious, but some mention that the sofas and pillows could be improved, and there were comments about uncomfortable mattresses.
While the kitchen is well-equipped, guests have pointed out maintenance issues like a broken drawer, dated dishwasher, and missing TV. The property is appreciated but would benefit from updates and repairs.

We have stayed at several different places in Padstow, but hands down sandpipers has been the best. The size of the house inside is great, loads of room and it’s nice and cosy. Location is minutes from the harbour. There’s no parking but Lawns carpark is minutes away. Wonderful property and we shall be back. Also Julie at cottages.com was amazing and made the booking very easy.

Great accommodation very comfortable with all that you need. communication was good for the key entry. It could do with an information folder generally which would also explain where the washing machine and freezer are located, we only found out on the website.
