This delightful cottage in the heart of historic Padstow is a hidden gem. Spacious and beautifully furnished, it sits in a secluded spot at the end of a private courtyard, just a 0.5-mile walk from the colourful waterfront. The property sleeps four guests and two canine pals are also welcome. Ideal for a family or friends sharing, this inviting holiday home is perfectly placed for exploring the delights of picturesque Padstow and the glorious North Cornwall coast. Shops, cafes and renowned seafood restaurants are a short stroll away, with gorgeous golden beaches a few miles distant.

White walls, pale flooring and a row of windows create a light and bright space in the cottage lounge/diner, furnished with comfortable sofas in neutral tones. Ceiling beams add a traditional touch. The well-planned kitchen overlooks a courtyard patio and there is a sleek ground-floor shower room. An open-plan staircase leads upstairs where you’ll find a WC and three charming bedrooms with a lovely seaside vibe: a double and two singles. Outside is a pretty, decked patio with wooden garden furniture and a BBQ. A low-level warm shower by the entrance is thoughtfully placed for washing sandy paws and feet. There are two car parks within 470 metres.

Head for Padstow’s bustling harbour where you can snap up a catch of the day from the brightly painted fishing boats. The veteran Jubilee Queen will take you along the magnificent North Cornwall coastline or you can also venture on a wildlife safari to spot marine wildlife such seals and puffins.

Captains Cottage is perfectly located for a holiday in Padstow - minutes from the harbour but so quiet. Everything you need is provided along with thoughtful local treats and goodies for the dogs!

We had a fabulous week at Captains Cottage. The cottage has everything you could possibly need and more. The shower room and kitchen are fantastic and felt very homely. The outside area has a useful heater and a very peaceful space that we used a lot. In the centre of Padstow and a 2 minute walk to almost everything, we ate out a lot and very handyRead more bakeries for breakfast. Just perfect and would highly recommend. Hide

The cottage was a joy. It is was comfortable and was beautifully decorated and well-equipped for two of us. The location was perfect as well as it was right in the centre of Padstow with easy access to the shops and harbour and yet was very quiet. Would definitely return to The Captain's Cottage.

Having visiting padstow many times previously in our campervan and recently selling it, we came across Captains Cottage which fitted the bill perfectly. Right in the heart of Padstow, this lovely little cottage is lovingly presented using locally sourced art, trinkets and crockery. All bases were covered with good Internet, smart TV, speaker and Read moreeven a Nespresso coffee machine. We arrived to find a bottle of local wine, some treats for both us and Ralph (our whippet), milk, sugar and pods for the Nespresso coffee machine. Everything was immaculate, the bed the comfy and walk in shower hot and powerful. We had a wonderful week taking long dog walks, eating wonderful food in Padstow and visiting the local area. The location, care and attention to detail shown by the owners was fantastic, we would certainly stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend captains cottage to anyone wishing to spend a few days in and around Padstow.
