Linda

It was a very comfortable and well equipped holiday home. The location was absolutely perfect. We were there for the Christmas Fayre and the house was beautifully decorated for Christmas which made it very special

Julie

Lovely house in a prime location near to the Harbour. We stayed in this property two years ago, this time we found the cleanliness not up to the previous years standard.

Lisa

A wonderful home from home. Very well equipped with good quality furnishings. The new flooring and carpets are very luxurious. Our 2nd visit and we canâ??t wait to return.

Rachel

What a lovely spacious holiday home that fit our 2 families including our dogs in perfectly. It had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and the location was just brilliant ! Would recommend

Amy

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful house for our week in Cornwall. The house is very spacious, clean, comfortable and placed in a great place with just a 10 minute walk to Padstow harbour. There is plenty of useful information for things to do whilst you are on your stay. Iâ??d defiantly return to this beautiful holiday home for our future holidays. Would highly recommend.

Isabelle

This is a beautiful house, very clean, with comfortable beds and furniture throughout. The master bedroom and ensuite are particularly amazing. It has everything one needs, down to games, books, DVDs, and also an Ordnance survey map of the area on the wall next to the dining table ; ideal to plan the following day's activities over dinner! Lovely kitchen with a good selection of crockery, oven dishes, quality stainless steel pans and utensils, even scales. The location is absolutely perfect, in a decent and quiet (even though next to the road) area. Only a short walk to the harbour/ town / fish & chips, 2 minutes to Tesco (handy although the Wadebridge one is a proper superstore), 1 minute to a good Thai take away. All in all, a highly recommended house where we had a fantastic stay!

John

Nice house, plenty of space, ample parking, 10 minute walk into Padstow harbour. This is the 3rd time we have stayed here and would happily return again

Great property in a great location. Looking to book it again next year.

Lovely modern spacious house on outskirts of Padstow. 10 mins down the hill to town 2 mins to Tesco House was spotlessly clean, comfortable, well equipped and warm. Enclosed rear garden safe for the dog. Weâ??ve stayed twice and really enjoyed ourselves stays.

Lisa

A very welcoming home with lots of space. Fully equipped to suit all your holiday needs from fluffy white towels to comfortable garden furniture. The south facing garden was well maintained and a joy to relax in. The location suited us with a 10 minute downhill walk to the harbour & shops. We have already booked for next year!

We had a lovely stay at House for 8 in Padstow. The property was in a great location to explore North Cornwall and it had everything we needed for a weeks stay.
