Guests say
Stones Throw in Padstow is a well-equipped, comfortable cottage praised for its excellent location. Guests appreciate the proximity to local amenities and the peaceful atmosphere despite being close to the harbour. The property is beautifully done, offering spacious accommodation and sea views. Some minor maintenance issues and the lack of parking are noted, but overall, guests report a lovely stay and would recommend the property.
While most guests found the property clean, especially the sheets, towels, and bathroom, there was an initial complaint about the property being grimy. It was re-cleaned, which improved the situation, but the first impression affected the score.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to shops, restaurants, and the harbour, with added benefits of sea views and proximity to local attractions. The only drawback mentioned is the challenging parking situation.
Guests found the cottage comfortable, with plenty of space and useful amenities like a dishwasher and washing machine. However, some suggested improvements such as a lighter duvet for summer and noted that the upper twin bedroom has a low door that could be problematic.
The property is well-equipped with necessary appliances and offers spacious accommodation. Guests suggested adding a few kitchen utensils and a drying rack. There were minor issues with a food drainer, but these did not significantly detract from the overall experience.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

The house was grimy, dirty handrails, hair and crisps on the floor. It got re-cleaned, but still grimy. The sheets, towels and bathroom were clean though, so not all bad. Lady was nice that managed it but wouldn’t recommend or use the company again base on our experience.

A beautiful house in a brilliant location just a short walk up the hill from all the local busineses, which given our unpredictable weather was a godsend if the heavens opened, will definitely be returning
