Perfect stay for our group of girls!

The house was incredibly well equipped. Bedrooms were fabulous. The location was also ideal as a home base for exploring all of Cornwall. We received prompt responses from Emma to all our questions. I highly recommend an ARC home for a group holiday.

Great group holiday home

This is a beautiful high end holiday home. The beds are comfortable and all the rooms are nice. There is a well equipped kitchen that allows you to cater for the large numbers. We loved the hot tub and outdoor area. Great dining area with a large table that can seat up to 24 people. Some of the showers need attention. The cooking hobs can be tricky and turn themselves off.

Thank you Rebecca. We are pleased that you all had a comfortable break and made good use of the hot tub during your stay. We hope to welcome you back in the future.

60th birthday celebration

Absolutely everything. Loved the outdoor space , barbecue area, lovely big dining table. Beds were comfortable, log fire , living rooms very cosy. Good location. We found getting in touch with someone was a bit difficult because the phone connection was really poor. Phone kept disconnecting. We tried to get in touch because initially the code on the door just wouldn’t work and it did take a while before we could get in. Phone reception was a little disappointing.

Incredible house

The main living areas were beautiful, two real fires, stunning gardens and kitchens, all great rooms a real treat to have so many en-suites. I would thoroughly recommend. The team were amazing at responding to my questions with the house late on Friday over a bank holiday. They were super helpful and informative all the way up to and across the weekend The WiFi password you don’t need as it’s public, but you do need the staff WiFi to work the Alexa speakers, this would be helpful to provide as it’s needed. Also instructions on how to unlock the Hobs without having to google

ARC Padstow is stunning well equipped house. The 15 of us had a wonderful time, with areas to suit all ages. The use of the chef via Lobby was well worth it.

Fantastic place to stay with friends/family

We had a wonderful 60th party with friends and family. The house was perfect for 3 nights and accommodated 26 of us really well. The kitchen was very well equipped and we managed to cook several meals without a problem. Located just outside Padstow we had plenty to keep us amused. Would definately recommend for a large group.

ARC PADSTOW

Lovely comfortable accommodation for large group with good facilities and bus service to local areas when you don't want to drive.Perfectly located within easy reach of beautiful beaches and all that North Cornwall has to offer. Recycling, although bins were provided to separate bottles,cans,paper etc it was mixed together.

Wonderful holiday at "the manor house"

Location, house, facilities all top notch - we had a wonderful time ! communications could be improved - had to deal with people from Kate & Toms, Finest Retreats and "ARC Lobby" and had to chase a few times for answers. The people I dealt with - particularly Emma Walsh - were lovely - but still a bit of a pain.

Great holiday

Second visit to The Arc Padstow, fabulous property, very well equipped, good location for accessing Padstow, camel trail and beach at Trevone. Jackie is an excellent host and looked after us well. Thanks again. Larger facilities for washing and drying, lighter plates.

Great accommodation- very comfortable

The accommodation worked really weak for our group of 19. The bedrooms were comfortable and the house is extremely thoughtfully equipped. Lauren the housekeeper was excellent especially when the heating failed (and we know these things happen) but she magically sourced a quantity of heaters and extra logs to keep us warm - it did the trick.

Jackie was very friendly and helpful just a call away the facilities were excellent The kitchen floor was difficult to keep clean concrete steps to dining area are unforgiving and the dining chairs would benefit from soft pads to deaden the sound but it’s a super holiday base thanks for creating it.

Beautiful house

None of us could get WiFi until Tom said to use the ARC staff connection but that was on the last day and the alarm went off most days around 8.30am

Fabulous week

A great place to stay for the family. Plenty of room and amenities. Kitchen is well equipped. Loved the outside seating area. We had fab weather too which is always a bonus! A great place to stay and explore the beaches of North Cornwall. Might be a good idea to mark out the parking bays for ARC. Our access was occasionally blocked by a large van connected to the renovations next door. Couldn’t find the instructions for the hot tub. We missed having a coffee machine (we were told it was broken).

A long celebration in a wonderful location

The house is spacious even on full occupancy it does not feel cramped. The kitchen is well appointed with lots of crockery, serving dishes and cookware. The outside space works well and the local team are just super. Beds are super and everything works well. Lots of outdoor and indoor spaces for break outs. It is in the centre of a village so you have to move inside at 10pm, strict. The neighbours are very close, but friendly

Hi Tracey, Thank you for sharing your celebration with us at this beautiful property. I am so happy we were able to provide everything you needed during your stay and I can understand 10pm curfew can be frustrating when wanting to party on but at least the beds were able to offer a peaceful and relaxing slumber. We hope to host you again in the future and keep on celebrating!

Fabulous family Christmas stay at the Arc Padstow

We were a family of 24 staying at the Arc in Padstow to celebrate Christmas as a family. The accommodation didn’t disappoint. It’s finished to a very high standard throughout and there is plenty of space and bathrooms for everyone. The lounge areas are very comfortable as are the bedrooms. We took our dogs with us and the garden was perfect. I can’t recommend Arc Padstow enough. You really won’t be disappointed. It was also lovely to meet the housekeeper - Jacqui who welcomed us all with a glass of bubbly. Thank you :) I honestly can’t think of anything. We will be back.

Excellent place for a big gathering

Me and my guests were all stunned by the house's interior and how well equipped it was. We loved the stone walls and the spacious dinning area. There are sufficient rooms for everyone and we like the fact that there is a bathroom in or near every bedroom. The hot tub is a very nice addition. It was a shame not being able to use the lovely garden due to the weather. All in all, would recommend hiring ARC Padstow. The communication was confusing at times, especially with the different platforms provided by both Finest Retreat and ARC. Due to communication issues, the flower arrangement was left quite last minute as well. The flower decoration was lovely, but would be nice to have more time and choices to choose the final product. A smoother payment process would be appreciated.
