Situated in the picturesque fishing port of Padstow, Cornwall, this charming character cottage offers a delightful retreat for up to four guests. Nestled at the end of a mews of former fishermen's cottages, the property features exposed beams and a cozy Cornish stone floor, complemented by a log burner that creates a snug atmosphere. Its prime location allows easy access to the vibrant harbor area, where visitors can explore narrow streets lined with shops, restaurants, cafes, galleries, and pubs, all just a short stroll away.
The cottage comprises two bedrooms, including a double and a twin, making it suitable for families or small groups. While bed linen is provided, guests should note that towels are not included but can be hired. Accessibility may pose a challenge, as the open-tread stairs are steep, which could be unsuitable for the elderly or young children. The well-equipped kitchen features an electric cooker, refrigerator, microwave, and washing machine, along with a Smart TV and a BT Sports Package for entertainment.
Outdoors, the property boasts a small terrace with a patio table and two chairs, perfect for enjoying the fresh Cornish air. Although there is no dedicated parking available, two public car parks are conveniently located within 500 yards. Guests should also be aware that family facilities are not provided but can be hired separately. The cottage welcomes up to two pets for an additional fee, with a security deposit required for bookings that include pets.
Important considerations for potential guests include the prohibition of smoking on the premises and variable mobile phone coverage. Additionally, the natural stone lounge floor is uneven, and guests may need to pay an Accidental Damage Deposit or Waiver. For those interested in local attractions, Padstow Museum and Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre highlight the area's cultural offerings, while outdoor activities can be enjoyed at Padstow Harbour and the South West Coast Path. Visitors can also check out events at nearby Mount Wise Stadium or enjoy a night out at King Arthur's Great Halls.
