Eoin
A lovely comfortable house with incredible views over the beaches from the top snug. Ideally located 2 mins walk from the harbour this property is great for easy walks around Padstow. A little more work is needed before next season in order to bring it up to similarly priced properties - none-the-less we had a lovely time here.
