The cottage itself is perfect - such a wonderful location and very comfortable furnishings apart from the 2 wicker sofas which need an update . Everything else was perfect and the beds were extremely comfortable - would definitely book again!

In an excellent location with good space for 8 people with a small flat garden.Sadly a little careworn and cleaning not up to expectations.

A beautiful comfortable home from home. My heart is happy here. So spacious, not over modernised but with everything you could want for a family or group of friends getaway. Amazing size garden and house right in the centre of Padstow.

We've had an amazing stay here in Padstow in a beautiful home. The house was absolutely perfect and we certainly were able to make the most of our time. We recommend the 7-8 mile circular walk from Padstow beach, past stepper point, Trevone Bay, arriving back near Prideaux Place!
