Property code: 88178

A delightful four-storey period cottage that is just metres from Padstow’s harbour and other popular amenities. A wonderful retreat for couples and friends.

This idyllic cottage benefits from a prime position within Padstow, with shops, cafes and especially restaurants nearby, including Rick Stein’s flagship fish venue The Seafood Restaurant. For outdoor enthusiasts, Padstow is the end point for the Camel Cycle Trail and a phenomenal base to enjoy the sandy beaches up and down the coastline. Across the water, you will find Rock and Polzeath, both under 16 miles away. Here you will find the golden sands and turquoise waters, along with many more local amenities. If scenic walking trails are more your style, then hopping on the picturesque South West Coast Path should be near the top of your to-do list, and is a great idea for those with four-pawed friends.

Upon entering the cottage, make your way into the opening hallway with direct access to the lounge. The lounge space contains two comfortable sofas, an electric fire and even a Smart TV to enjoy your favourite films with ease. Making your way down the stairs will bring you to the ground floor kitchen/diner, which has an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, washing machine and tumble dryer, while the dining table provides ample seating for all guests. Taking the stairway up from the opening hallway will bring you to the first of the two bedrooms, a king-size bed which can be split into two 2’ 6” single beds upon request (only suitable for children). The family bathroom is also situated on this floor and contains a shower over the bath and WC. There is then one final narrow steep stairway which will take you up to the master bedroom which occupies the whole of the top floor. This bedroom contains a double bed and has the added benefit of ample storage space too.

The outside enclosed patio area can be accessed via the rear entrance to the cottage or from the kitchen/diner on the ground floor. Here guests will be able to relax away from the hustle and bustle on the outdoor seating provided and even cook up a storm on the BBQ. No private parking at the property itself but public car parks situated close by (subject to availability).

Great location very close to the harbour. House was clean and tidy, garden area could possibly be tidied up a little. The stairs in the cottage are all very steep particularly into the top floor, they are also very narrow and slippy. The stairs from the living area are also quite warn with carpet tacs exposed . That said it had everything we neededRead more and was reasonably priced for the excellent location. Hide

The first thing that struck us was how clean the property was and the welcoming bunch of daffodils was lovely. It is arranged over three levels with stairs going down to the spacious kitchen which was well equipped, although a dishwasher would have been nice. The lounge was comfortable. Stairs led to the first floor, you needed to be really carefulRead more not to bump your head!nThe beds were comfortable with crisp white line and fluffy towels. The top floor bedroom was large, airy and spacious. Hide

Fantastic location, accommodation over 4 floors, we had my 80 year old father with us and he managed the stairs all ok. We parked in the link road carpark for 8.75 for the week and only 3 minutes walk from the house. This house is a great place to explore and drop into all the great pubs and restaurants. 5­ from us

Cottage is in a good position but in desperate need of upgrading and replacement of carpets etc. Stairs are totally unsuitable for anyone with mobility problems even though they are an original feture of the property.

The cottage was in a convenient location for the harbour and Padstow shops.. Not really for people with disabilities as stairs in the cottage were very steep....but over all it was a pleasant stay with all the amenities you would need to use in the cottage.
