Merryn Cottage is in a wonderful central location in Padstow. It has beautiful flagstone floor in a very specious open plan kitchen living area that feels cosy. Sofas and chairs are very comfortable to curl up on an evening. It had everything we needed for our 2 week stay. We would of loved to be able to use the log burner but it just not cold enouRead moregh. Would definitely recommend. Hide

Cottage had a fantastic location but has become very tired, possibly because it is for sale so remedial work not being carried out. Could I live there permanently? Yes as it has so much potential but needs some TLC. Would stay again but price I paid was not value for money for the condition.

We had a lovely stay, we were very lucky with the weather too. The cottage was very home from home, we self cater daily so it was lovely to have lots of pots, pans and equipment to use. The house was cozy. Clever photos. The bathroom was big, good shower. Always a challenge when the bathroom is downstairs in case it's needed at night. We alwaysRead more left a small light on. The lounge was smaller than expected. The house was always cool which was nice, guessing the wall thickness helped with that. It is a few minutes walk to the harbourside which was lovely to be in the old town. We were grateful to have everything on our doorstep, my husband isn't as able currently. Parking was challenging, as are the narrow streets but that's Padstow, we know that. We enjoyed our two week stay. It was peaceful, quiet and relaxing. Hide

We found the cottage damp, grubby and depressing in need of a spring clean and refurbishment.
