Guests say
FISTRAL Cottage in Padstow offers a peaceful and private setting, ideal for exploring local beaches and enjoying the tranquillity of Cornwall. Guests appreciate the ample space, good value, and dog-friendly environment. The property provides a comfortable base with beautiful views and sunsets, though some updates and a thorough cleaning are suggested.
The property requires a deeper clean, as guests have noted dust, fluff in corners, and a musty smell in the kitchen. There are reports of spiders and mildew, indicating that cleanliness needs improvement.
The location is praised for its privacy, quietness, and proximity to local beaches and St Merryn village. A car is necessary for trips, as there are no footpaths on site.
Guests find the accommodation comfortable, with plenty of room for smaller parties, good Wi-Fi, and a large TV. However, suggestions for a shower mat and handrail by the toilet indicate room for improvement in comfort.
The facilities are adequate, with ample parking and a private garden. However, the kitchen and some amenities are outdated and in need of refurbishment.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Cottage was good for money but location was very limited , no footpaths off site so a car required for all trips.
