Accommodation
Inside space
Offering the kind of sensible layout that just makes a family holiday work, Sandals has space galore for the whole crew. A welcoming hallway stretches towards the rear of the house, with a convenient WC and utility room, a must after a day at the beach!

This lovely room opens on to the dining area, with plenty of room for lively family board games or animated mealtimes. French doors flood the room with light and lead on to a lovely outside space.

Head upstairs, and a central landing leads off to four pretty bedrooms, each with tasteful coastal touches. To the front of the house sits a roomy double bedroom with ensuite shower room and lovely bright twin room with a cosy window seat, and to the rear is a superb master bedroom featuring a king-sized bed and ample storage, as well as stunning ensuite with double sinks. A cute single room with a funky daybed and a fresh nautical feel sits next to the family bathroom, which completes this well-laid out upper floor.

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.
