The name of this house is brought to life on entering the generous, open-plan living room to be rewarded with vibrant artwork and decorative furnishings throughout. Flooded with natural daylight through the glass roof over the kitchen/dining area, you will feel instantly at home and be drawn to the terrace to gaze at the estuary views beyond.

A fantastic location close to Padstow harbour and the town centre. The property has been beautifully modernised with a light, spacious open-plan downstairs area and decking area overlooking the harbour. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all well-appointed and spacious also. Having one twin bedroom and shower room downstairs makes accessibility very eaRead moresy. The property contains all equipment needed for a delightful stay and is a great base for exploring Padstow, Rock and the surrounding area. Hide

The cottage has a wonderfully large, light and airy living space, plenty of furniture (so many chairs!) and is very well equipped. It is really warm, even with the radiators turned off. The decking area and seating is also really good. The parking is fine for two cars, and the location is great, just a short walk into the harbour area (uphill on thRead moree way back!). Hide

We - a family of four with two teenage boys - stayed in Joy House for a week this summer. We loved the house and its outdoor terrace and location. The house is very well equipped and very spacious. What made it stand out was all the art works and ceramics that decorate all the walls in the house: many great landscapes showing the beauty of CornwallRead more. All in all a very cosy, light and vibrant atmosphere which made us feel right at home. Hide

Good location, bit of a squeeze for 2 cars. Not sure how people feel in summer when really hot as the house was stifling when we arrived. Very noisy up to 11 pm with having windows open to cool the bedrooms down.

The house was attractive and well equipped for a holiday. It was good to have parking as Padstow is a busy town in the holiday season.It was also close to the harbour and shops. As I am elderly I did find the hill from the town very trying but realise that for most people this would not be a problem
