An overnight stay on a break in Padstow. Great location, good value for money and very helpful staff, especially John who checked us in and sorted a booking glitch. Good size room, comfortable bed and Elemis toiletries. Room and bathroom a little tired but clean. Opted for inclusive breakfast rate and choice was very good as was the food. Very happy to recommend.

The convenience of being in the heart of Padstow, on the flat and near to the venue where we were dining. There was nothing to dislike about our stay. When the receptionist heard we were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary they produced two bottles of bubbly for us to celebrate. Very thoughtful and much appreciated.

A really enjoyable stay: great location; wonderful view from the room and helpful staff. However parking is a major challenge (it might be helpful for the property to explore reserving spaces in the public car park opposite) and the decor in the room was a little tired.

Great place in the best location- walk everywhere
This place is amazing with the best views; at least my room had a great view of harbor. You are close to great restaurants, the bike rental place and the beach path! Breweries,restaurants and shopping are at your doorstep, even though it is a quant size town! The staff was great as was breakfast although I only had breakfast 1 day. Only improvement would be ability to open windows a little more but understand it is a safety precaution. I booked another stay in 2024 as I left!
