Waiting for Boardies.

Really good for a place while kids are at boardmasters. Nice garden and well provisioned property. 20 minute walk to Padstow has some walking in a busy road and its 20 going in downhill but 30 coming back uphill. An icecream helps there. House itself has everything you need and nearby Trevonne bay is great for a swim, especially if you walk along the footpath to the little pool thats great for a dip when the tides correct. Enjiyed it. Its north Cornwall so expect bigger waves.

Fantastic Home from Home!

We absolutely loved our stay at the pad. With everything you would ever need!! We ate in each night with friends even visiting us too, we had plenty of space and all the supplies we needed! On arrival we found complimentary Wine and Biscuits which went down a treat after the long journey there!! Our daughter loved enclosed area to the front where she could ride her bike and even fly her kite. Whilst the bathroom is small it is fully functional and clean. We couldn't change the weather and typical british summer time it rained the majority of the time, but that didn't stop our fun and with a couple of dvds available we managed a cosy night in with cheese biscuits from one of the deli's in nearby Padstow, some hot chocolate for the little one and wine for us grown ups! Easy travel to many of the many of the surfing hotpots, we first visited Polzeath. Only a 25 minute drive. And Newquay also only around half an hour away! Perfect location, Clean Tidy and Everything youll need! We cant wait to visit again!

Perfect Pad

We've had a great few days at 'the Pad' in Padstow , thank- you Sarah.... On arrival we were impressed with the tranquil setting and the secure walled garden was perfect for our dog, this was his first break away from home and he settled straight away. The cleanliness of the cottage was excellent and everything maintained immaculately with everything you could possibly need, including cleaning products, Wi fi connection, and the all important phone charger in case you forgot to take your own ! The weather was great for April and allowed for exploring the Cornish coastline. Padstow is well worth a visit with it's harbour, shops and restaurant's, and very dog friendly. We visited Port Isaac and enjoyed walks on the beach at Trevone. We will certainly be returning to this beautiful location, our break was short but very relaxing, highly recommended.

A lovely getaway

My family have just spent 4 nights at the Pad and we had such a lovely time. It’s in a quiet location with a spacious but enclosed outside area perfect for children and dogs. We found the walk to and from town slightly tricky with a toddler as there is no pavement for the first part of the way, but the road is quiet so it wasn’t too much of an issue. The walk back is uphill and took us about 20 minutes (or 15 minutes without the toddler!). The Pad had all of the amenities we needed with lovely comfortable beds and a decent shower. If we ever visit Padstow again we will definitely book to stay here.

Perfect March break!

Our group were staying here and at other Meadow Court properties on our Cornish golf tour. The accommodation was just as described and ideal for us. Very comfortable, and very easy to get around to golf in the day and Padstow in the evening

Great Small Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this small but perfectly formed properly. There was a small walled garden for the dog and all the amenities you needed for a break away. It was 3 minutes drive to Padstow and 10 minutes drive from a host of beaches. It was clean and a great base to be in. There are neighbouring houses but couldn’t hear a thing. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

Surprise Holiday

I came to the Pad with my girlfriend for a surprise birthday present and she was very pleased with our stay. We both loved our time in Padstow and had everything we needed in the property. It was very cosy and we will be recommending it to friends and family.

The Fisher's second stay at The Pad @Padstow

We have just enjoyed our second stay at The Pad, this time for two weeks. On arrival The Pad was impeccably clean and tidy, it's quiet location is relaxing and the Pad has a lovely homely feel to it. The Pad has everything you need from Kitchen utensils / cooking facilities to local maps in the cupboard to help you make the most of your stay in Cornwall. We particularly love Treyarnon beach close by which has a delightful coved beach with super surfing and rock pools along with toilet facilities and refreshment vans offering a variety of food, hot and cold drinks and ice creams including dairy free. Thanks for the complimentary wine and biscuits! I'm sure we'll be back again, super location and facilities.

Lovely holiday home.

The property was clean and tidy on arrival. The bottle of wine and shortbread waiting for us were enjoyed thank you 😋. Everything you could need on a self catering holiday was there. Truely "Homeaway"! A beautiful base to come back to after a busy day exploring or just to rest for the day. The location is beautiful with fields surrounding and very quiet along a small country lane. It's a 10 min walk to Padstow harbour area and 20-25 minute walk to Trevone bay...beautiful. All neighbours were quiet. Prior to the holiday we contacted Sarah who answered our questions promptly. Sarah contacted us after the holiday to advise that the £50 deposit would be returned (as we had left the holiday home clean and tidy): the first owner (of many properties we have rented before) to ever do that...thank you😊. We will highly recommend this holiday home to any family and friends who may visit Cornwall in the future. Thank you Sarah!
