26 Church Lane is comfortable and quirky. The renovations incorporate a new kitchen and bathroom and plenty of outside light. The sitting room, in comparison, is quite dark. I missed the convenience of an en-suite bathroom and the stairs are steep especially to the attic bedroom and no hand or grab rail. The garden now looks sad but overall Read morewe enjoyed our stay.

Bathroom is very large and has both bath and shower. Kitchen has everything you need. Lounge is quite small but adequate.

Quirky layout and yes, the stairs can be a challenge, but good strong handrails make them completely manageable. The lounge is dark, but given the location this cant be helped, other than with lighter furnishings perhaps, but we were out everyday, and the lovely lamps turn the space into a lovely cosy haven on an evening, so on an evening its a lovRead moreely space to spend time reflecting on the day.

A fabulous cottage tucked at the back of Padstow by the church- we loved the bell practising whilst sat outside. We also loved the interior of the cottage and found it to be well equipped. It is the perfect place to be able to nip down to the harbour or to just chill in the garden. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back again in the futRead moreure. Hide
