  • A Family-friendly & charming property only 2- or 3-minutes’ walk from the harbour, shops and restaurants

  • Set close to the sandy beaches on the River Camel estuary
Property code: OC-P00297

A charming seaside home set in the pretty fishing port of Padstow on the North Cornish coast. This homely hideaway is a wonderful base for a family escape or reunion with old friends. Feel the salty ocean spray as you glide across the Camel Estuary aboard the passenger ferry to explore the delights of Rock (1.5 miles), then toast with a sparkling sundowner on the patio while the little ones play on the grassy lawn.

This period coastal town house features a bright interior with soft neutral tones, beachy wicker textures, and distinctive design details. Kick off shoes in the tiled hallway then pad into the spacious light-flooded lounge. Sink onto the sofas for a debrief or steal a moment of peace curled up with a book and unwind in the warmth of the wood burner effect fire. Pour a tipple and potter in the wooden shaker kitchen or lounge on the corner sofa and flick through the action shots from the day. On warm summer days, throw open the patio doors and enjoy the fresh seaside air and you tuck into a celebratory meal at the dining table. As the night draws in, ascend the staircase to find four peaceful bedrooms. Choose between a tranquil king, a double, and two airy twins each with crisp linens and wooden furniture. Early risers can bask in the morning sun from the patio overlooking the leafy enclosed garden.

History buffs can learn of the rich maritime history at the Padstow Museum (300 metres) while the leisure-seekers indulge in a flight of craft beers and small plates at the Padstow Brewing Company (1 mile). Brave an invigorating dip in the clear waters of Constantine Bay Beach (4 miles) or perfect the delicate art of oyster shucking with a guided session on Porthilly Beach (2 miles).

The house was perfect for my family group, 4 double bedrooms with plenty of space downstairs for everybody, the location is perfect and only a 5 minute walk from everything that you would want to visit in Padstow. Very clean and comfortable with everything that you could possibly need for your stay. Excellent and would definitely book again.

The cottage was very dated and in need of some updating especially for the rating given for our visit it was not cleaned to an acceptable standard - we have spent the last 30 years rented accommodation in Cornwall and this was the worst for cleanliness - the furniture had not been moved some rubbish and dirt where trapped behind items like sofas unRead moreder the bed etc - there were spider webs and flies in then glass panel above the rear door - we found a nail in the hallway and childrens toy under the sofa - not a great experience. Holidaycottages.co.uk response:- Thank you for your feedback the owner of Alexandra House will address the points you have raised and send their apologies. Hide

We love coming to Padstow for the half term May break each year and my only criticism is that they don't give you first refusal on that same house and week break for the following year like other companies do. As we def would book again and again for the same house each year

The cottage itself is perfect - such a wonderful location and very comfortable furnishings apart from the 2 wicker sofas which need an update . Everything else was perfect and the beds were extremely comfortable - would definitely book again!

In an excellent location with good space for 8 people with a small flat garden.Sadly a little careworn and cleaning not up to expectations.

A beautiful comfortable home from home. My heart is happy here. So spacious, not over modernised but with everything you could want for a family or group of friends getaway. Amazing size garden and house right in the centre of Padstow.
