The cottage was a joy. It is was comfortable and was beautifully decorated and well-equipped for two of us. The location was perfect as well as it was right in the centre of Padstow with easy access to the shops and harbour and yet was very quiet. Would definitely return to The Captain's Cottage.

Having visiting padstow many times previously in our campervan and recently selling it, we came across Captains Cottage which fitted the bill perfectly. Right in the heart of Padstow, this lovely little cottage is lovingly presented using locally sourced art, trinkets and crockery. All bases were covered with good Internet, smart TV, speaker and Read moreeven a Nespresso coffee machine. We arrived to find a bottle of local wine, some treats for both us and Ralph (our whippet), milk, sugar and pods for the Nespresso coffee machine. Everything was immaculate, the bed the comfy and walk in shower hot and powerful. We had a wonderful week taking long dog walks, eating wonderful food in Padstow and visiting the local area. The location, care and attention to detail shown by the owners was fantastic, we would certainly stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend captains cottage to anyone wishing to spend a few days in and around Padstow.

Great Cottage, owners very thoughtful with the arrival gifts, never had such a lovely selection, even a goody bag for the dog! Superb location right in the middle of Padstow and yet not noisy. The seating area with heater and lighting was lovely to sit under with a glass of wine. 10 out of 10.

Very accommodating for dogs, and practical as while asking that dogs are kept down stairs a baby gate is provided to enable you to do this. Not something that we have experienced before and found really helpful. The hose outside also provides warm water to allow you to shower you pups in comfort, very thoughtful and our boys definitely appreciated Read moreit, and their welcome packs! Hide

The cottage was very well positioned for the town. It was spotlessly clean.
