This property has
been converted from part of the 1876 grade II listed building which was
once the school for the town. The conversion has been sympathetically
achieved to retain much of the original stone walls, gothic arched windows
and vaulted ceilings, which give the building its character. Primrose
House is ideally located just a two minute walk from the harbour and
Padstow's many recommended restaurants. The town is now familiar to many
from Rick Stein's seafood cookery programmes, but was a well-kept secret
for many years before. The historic fishing port remains largely unspoilt
and the townspeople like to keep it that way. Within easy striking
distance are magnificent walks along the coastal footpaths and just a few
miles down the coast are some of the finest beaches in Cornwall; a number
absolutely ideal for surfing the rolling Atlantic breakers. There are
championship golf links at Trevose and St. Enodoc; a passenger ferry and
water taxi runs across the estuary to Rock. The route of the old railway
track to Bodmin is now a popular trail for cyclists and walkers and offers
some wonderful scenery along the way.
