Lovely well equiped and appointed cottage

Looks beautiful and is welcoming. We wanted to be in easy walking distance to our favourite restaurants and it fulfilled this with bells on. The only down side is the size and positioning of the beds in the limited bedroom space, in the end we opted to sleep in separate beds and bedrooms, which was an acceptable solution as a couple and didn't affect our enjoyment of the cottage.

Fabulous holiday. Really enjoyed Tintagel and the Eden Project. Rock really worth a visit.

Really quaint fisherman’s cottage set in the old Town just down from the historic church. The cottage very close to the shops and restaurants (make sure you book well in advance) and chip shop (prepare to queue!)all extremely good and worth the wait! Best freshest crab ever in the Snappy Crab 🦀 other side of the harbour towards the ferries. Found parking in harbour surprisingly easy if you arrive before 10am or around 6.30pm( although best to drop family home then go and wait for a space)don’t worry though as you can easily park at the station but a longer walk. The Christmas shop is a must! Tesco in Padstow but struggles to cope, small Spar round the corner from cottage is handy for urgent purchases as a bit dear. K Tesco St Austell best nearest Supermarket which is easily found after a well worthwhile visit to the Eden Project. Chough Bakery for pasties and pastries😊.Tarquins gin shop also a must. Cottage very homely and very well equipped, I believe bathroom being updated which would be good. Although didn’t need to use the Mgt Company I feel they are efficient and handy and accessible if required. Overall would love to stay there again and wish all who stay here the very best.

As my first guests via VRBO (we took ownership of the cottage in July 21), I am really grateful for your review and I am very pleased that you enjoyed staying in Fisherman's Cottage. You are correct about us updating the property and we are closing it from January to April 2022 for renovations, I am keen to keep the character of the property intact but will be updating the kitchen and bathroom. Also thank you for your top tips about food shopping in and around Padstow, when I am down in October I am going to try a Tesco food delivery to Fisherman's Cottage... this could be a good alternative (but TBC!).

Padstow stay

Property had recently changed ownership. Both the last owner and the current owner transferred the booking over and we kept the same deal. Great little cottage with everything in Padstow easily accessible by foot but far enough back from any noise. Would definitely recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Virginia Martin

Host profile image
Having grown up in Cornwall my husband has always loved the Padstow area. As a family we have been visiting Padstow for many years and our two teenage daughters enjoy the local area as much as we do. Being a dog friendly town is an added bonus and we can safely say that Padstow is our dog's favourite holiday destination!

Why they chose this property

Jon and I feel in love with the cottage from the moment we saw the pictures on right-move and loved it even more when we stepped inside. Sitting outside on the patio with a glass of wine or morning cup of coffee is one of the cottage's great charms and we are sure you will love this little space as much as we do.
