For a long weekend it was perfect. Lovely and clean, comfy bed, good showers, kitchen stocked with everything we needed and a great location. We will definitely be back.

It's a superb location in the heart of Padstow, a short walk from the harbour. It's an ancient cottage with plenty of character that's been beautifully and taste fully restored. It has everything we needed.

In fact we will be back next year and have already re booked. Our only gripe if you can call it that is that the bed in the master room seemed a very small double in fact I would say itâs a 3/4 bed. There is plenty of room for a normal double and would make your nights sleep better.
