Wir haben eine wunderschöne Woche zu viert in Creekside erlebt. Das Haus hate eine Spitzenlage und die Terrasse am Flüsschen (mit hineindrückender Flut) ist traumhaft. Es fehlte an nichts, denn für eine Spülmaschine ist leider kein Platz mehr in der Küche. Die neue Wallbox konne ich für mein E-Auto e4inmal nutzen, beim zweiten mal hat mein Skoda leider keine Verbindung herstellen können. Die Ausflüge zum Eden Project und zu den Lost Garden waren gut machbar und die Fahrradtour von Padstow entlang des Camel Trial unbedingt empfehlenswert. Cornwall ist ein "Sonnenland", wir hatte im Juli nicht einen Regentag. Die Sandbuchten sind wunderschön und Wasser sehr klar. in dieser Woche war der Atlantik sehr ruhig und wir hatten kaum Wellen. Das Autofahren im Linksverkehr und auf den schmalen Straßen kann man auch als Deutscher schaffen. Gut ist es, wenn man einen Beifahrer hat, der beim Überholen und in den Kreisverkehren mit aufpasst. UK is great, kommt bitte in die EU zurück.

As a family of 3 we had the perfect stay. It was cosy and clean. To have a lovely veranda overlooking the creek was very relaxing. I would definitely recommend this location, it very close to Padstow and the coast. We will definitely return again.

We had a lovely stay in this delightful cottage. Simon & Jo were so helpful whenever we emailed, and the prosecco, biscuits etc. were very kind & most welcome! Creekside is in a very peaceful spot - everything was perfect, & just what we were looking for. You can walk along the path around the church, which will eventually take you to the end of a lane with a post box, and the bus stop to Padstow is just across the road - a lot nicer and safer than walking along the main road, which is not too pedestrian-friendly! The trip to Padstow is only around 15 minutes.Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday, Simon & Jo, we will be back 😊
