Property code: OC-P00633

This pleasant home is ideal for a small family or group of friends to enjoy a relaxing break in Padstow. Set on a quiet residential street in the heart of the town, it is convenient for days out without taking the car. The front door is around 500 metres from the seafront and there is a wealth of independent shops and eateries to discover nearby. Padstow is a lively town with a picturesque working fishing harbour and lots of activities to enjoy. There are sandy beaches within a mile and many more golden swathes of sand strung along the coastline. The Camel Trail leads from the town along the river and inland to Bodmin. This is an ideal off-road trail to enjoy on two wheels and bikes can be easily hired in the town. Padstow is famous for its seafood restaurants and there are many excellent places to book a table at. For something a little more informal, enjoy fish and chips alfresco at the harbour. For a day out, enjoy local coastal walks or head 15 miles along the coast to Newquay with its famous surfing scene and lively nightlife. Alternatively, cross to the South Cornwall coast or visit the Eden Project 20 miles away.

With its country-cottage feel and comfortable living areas, this is a lovely home to come back to after a day of exploring. The downstairs has a snug living room with wood burner-effect electric fire and French doors leading into a courtyard. There is also a separate area with a dining table and a door leading into the charming cottage-style kitchen. A handy WC completes the ground floor. Upstairs on the first floor, there is a delightful double bedroom with TV and sea glimpses out of the large window as well as a lovely twin bedroom. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath and a heated towel rail.

Outside the front door, there is an enclosed patio area with garden furniture. This is a pleasant spot for morning coffee or dining alfresco. There is also an enclosed rear patio area with outdoor seating.

Ship shape was a lovely cottage, with a fantastic location with only a 5 minute walk into town, a nice clean pet friendly home, and a nice touch with a cream tea on arrival, and definitely would return to Ship shape in the future thank you so much

A lovely little holiday house with everything included that you need. Staircase is extremely creaky and can be very annoying. The position is great, just a short walk down to the harbour.

Lovely comfortable home from home. However if u object to road noise this is quiet intrusive at the back of the property. But a small inconvenience considering its close location to Padstow centre. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful cottage & great location, especially with a parking spot! Lots of walking & people watching around the harbour as usual & visits along the coast and to St Mawes, Charleston and Heligan in the south. Eighth year to Padstow and one of the best cottages we have been to.

Your website says the property has 2 bathrooms which is not the case, could do with more comfortable furniture in the back yard, barbecue needs replacing (main strut joining the wheel rusted through), coffee machine doesnt work on full cup setting, apart from that lovely house.
