Attached to the owners’ home but set on a very quiet road, this ground floor apartment is minutes from Padstow harbour and has its own private enclosed courtyard. This is a great place to stay in this pretty coastal town on Cornwall’s stunning north coast. A short walk will bring you to the centre of all the action in this bustling fishing village. Padstow, home to Michelin starred restaurants, local pubs, great cafés, local shops and galleries that line the pretty harbour, has it all, from beaches to cycle trails and fishing trips on one of the day boats that leave the harbour.

Padstow is also home to Rick Stein’s culinary empire, including restaurants, delis, cafés, a cookery school and a fish and chip shop, which is at the start of the Camel Trail, an off road, multi-use trail that follows the shoreline of the River Camel as it flows inland to Wadebridge and Bodmin.
