Immaculate property with everything you could possibly need being provided. Padstow might be slightly further than a comfortable walking distance for some people but this certainly did not detract from what is a fabulous property. We would happily return to Happy Days and will certainly recommend it to others.

We really enjoyed our stay at Happy Days. The owners have thoughtfully designed the interior to maximise the use of space. Quality fittings and equipment are used throughout the house. We could hear no noise from other properties and slept with the Velux windows open. We appreciated waking to the sound of skylarks in the surrounding fields first tRead morehing in the morning. The property feels very rural and yet it was an easy 20 minute walk down to the harbour. Within 2 minutes drive is a Texaco garage with 2 superfast EV chargers which I used to fully charge at off-peak rate. The location is excellent and a great base from which to explore many of the fabulous coves and beaches which Cornwall is so well known for. We can certainly recommend Happy Days to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable, modern, light, airy, superbly well equipped property with two dedicated parking spaces, and a rain shower to die for.

This is a great place to stay for access to Padstow and the surrounding area. Whilst a small space it feels very roomy and is well equipped. Enjoyed walking into Padstow and Rock. Many beaches within a short drive from the cottage. In the warmer weather there is space to sit outside. This property is actually one of 12 built around a shared courtRead moreyard, not a problem for us but might feel busier in the summer months. Hide

We've just returned back from a lovely stay at Happy Days in Padstow (my husband and I and our 5 month old girl). Firstly, the location is very close to the Padstow. It is walking distance for most, but there are areas of no pavement, so we were not able to walk with our pram, but it's very close by regardless. The place was very quiet and we hadRead more no noise at all coming from either side. The house is beautifully presented, light and airy and very comfortable. It was very clean too - the only very minor thing was several flies where I assume windows had been left open because once we got them out, none returned. There is plenty of cooking and cleaning equipment, a great oven, microwave, hob, kettle etc., so staying in is nice and easy. The bedroom was really clean and comfortable with a modern ensuite with a great shower - the rainforest shower head option was very much appreciated! Overall, we would love to come back in a couple of years to revisit - an amazing first holiday for a family with a new addition. Hide

This is an ideal situated property. For those that are able it is a nice walk into Padtow about 20 mins, although up hill coming back. Saving you money on parking. On the way back and about 5 mins from the property is a Tesco, so doing your shopping on the way back. So close and handy to Padstow but handy to driving to other places.
