A perfect base from which to explore Padstow and Cornwall
The apartment was warm, comfortable and spacious enough for the four of us. The kitchen was clean and well equipped. The apartment was in a great location in the centre of the town but was quiet and private. Having a parking space was extremely useful. Would definitely stay there again.

Spacious apartment in the heart of Padstow. Comfortable and well-appointed. The parking space was a bonus, although a bit tricky to get into. It was great to be so close to the harbour, shops and restaurants.
Peter, August 2023
Spacious well equipped flat in a quiet position a few steps from town centre. parked our landcruiser with no problem. Well equipped clean kitchen. clean linen. comfy couches.
Rob, August 2023
Perfect location, right in the heart of Padstow Old Town and a stone’s throw from the Harbour (literally), yet tucked away and quiet too. The parking is challenging but we managed to use it with a large 7 seater SUV although 1 of the 3 spots wasn’t used allowing us extra space… without it we would not have been able to park but it wouldn’t have bothered us as the car park is just up the hill and doesn’t cost much for a week pass and the road is so quiet you could certainly stop to unload and load the car. Nice spacious flat with everything we needed, we would definitely stay again.

Loads of room, super close to the harbour. We had a great time here.
Diane, February 2022
This is a great apartment in a fantastic location . It has every conceivable thing you would need. We were just a couple here but it is huge and would more than comfortably accommodate 6 people. There’s fast free Wi-Fi and a recordable tv box . We were very pleased with the price we paid and what we got for it . We would definitely return and highly recommend.

Wonderful spacious apartment, much bigger than it looks with every utensil you need on the kitchen. Central location less than a minute from town and with parking! Book now before it goes!
Claudine, June 2021
Four adults and a child had a great stay in this flat. The flat was really spacious. It was nice and clean, and in a fantastic location just a couple of minutes walk to harbour. This was such a bonus. Communications from hosts was very good, they were very responsive and pleasant. Very well equipped kitchen, spacious breakfast kitchen and then a big dining table in the dining/living room made having breakfast and cooking a couple of dinners in the flat very pleasant (we cooked some fish we caught ourselves on our first ever fishing trip!) Great to have a parking space and close to a carpark for the other couple’s vehicle. We would certainly book this flat again if in need of a three bedroomed place in Padstow.

PADSTOW…
Situated on the west bank of the Camel Estuary, the picturesque harbour town of Padstow is a stunning holiday destination with an energetic vibe, a huge range of superb restaurants and bars, a variety of boutique shops and galleries, and all of this surrounded by gorgeous scenery.
For those days wandering around the town or sitting by the harbour in the sunshine, the tides of the river and the stream of boats sailing in and out of the working fishing port provide an ever changing and simply beautiful scenery to absorb. Stroll further along from the harbour and you reach the gorgeous sandy beaches along the estuary, a beautiful spot to relax and let your cares fly away.
The town has become a famous foodie destination, with celebrity chefs Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth taking centre stage, including Rick’s flagship Seafood Restaurant and Paul’s Michelin starred No.6 amongst the empire! With a huge variety through the town including Italian restaurants, fish and chips, delicious pub grub, tempting bakeries and daytime cafés. To go with this there is an equally wide range of bars to enjoy, from cosy pubs to stylish gin and wine bars.
Exploring the winding streets of the town you will also find a selection of clothing and jewellery shops, galleries and more.
During your visit, make the most of the water and take a boat trip out on the estuary, you can choose from a scenic trip on an old lifeboat, a water safari or a high speed trip around the bay! There is also a ferry which runs daily across the water to Rock with even more food options like Paul Ainsworth’s gastro pub The Mariners.
Padstow is also surrounded by other beautiful places, with several stunning sandy beaches along the rugged north Cornish coast just a short drive away. Or by foot, take a hike along the South West Coast Path and explore miles of hidden coves and spectacular scenery. Hire some bikes for the day and try out the Camel Trail, a level cycle route enjoying the same beautiful landscape.
