The house was beautiful, spacious and clean, it ticked all the boxes. However the approach entrance alley, which is quite a distance from the car parking space, was seriously overgrown and covered in dog poo. It really lets it down.

Lovely clean and very well equipped cottage, beautifully refurbished! Lovely underfloor heating keeps it cosy even in a stormy January stay. Ideal location close enough to walk into Padstow and far enough to be away from the centre. Theres an accessible car park at the bottom, if the hill ascent on way back is too much for you.

The paths from the car park need cleaning up. Overgrown, mossy, rubbish and dog mess. Bit of a pain when carrying luggage from car. holidaycottages.co.uk response:- Thank you for your feedback, we will pass your comments to the residential association who manage the shared paths and green areas

Lovely spotless house in a prime location. We come to Padstow every year and this is the closest we have been. It is a 1k walk into town. My son was really impressed with his big comfortable bed. The caretaker was really helpful and friendly at all times. Thank you for the goodies. We had a lovely week.

Fabulous property, very comfortable, light, clean and great location. Comfortable bed! Cant think of anything to improve other than instructions for the air fryer would be very useful as I had no idea how to use it! I couldnt even open the lid! Great holiday thank you!

A lovely up to date holiday let, beautifully done, would benefit from a dishwasher instead of a washing machine, parking space is a walk away.
