  Both pros and cons to this cottage! One of the twin mattresses was awful and needs replacing immediately, it creaks and groans and you can feel every spring. It was really uncomfortable & noisy! Under the twin beds hadn’t been dusted or mopped. Pans are no longer non stick & should be replaced. Bed runners (twin) were dirty and hadn’t been cleaned between guests. Pills (twin) are flat & need replacing. Double bed was too short for a man of 6’ 2”. However, the cottage is excellently located, a 16-minute walk to Padstow town centre. It was very convenient to have parking spaces as parking in Padstow itself looks a nightmare. We had a delivery from Sainsbury but there is a Tesco up the road. Hob is induction which is far better than the electric you find in most holiday cottages! Plenty of plates & glasses etc although we had to wash them on arrival. Lots to do in Padstow, it’s a really good location for a couples or family holiday. We also did a 5km walk from the town, and walked to St George’s Cove, from the cottage. Just be warned, if you have a child, every stair & upstairs floorboard creaks; it was impossible to ‘creep’ out having got my daughter to sleep without waking her. There is a downstairs single but it’s right next to the lounge area so not great for noise, plus from a safety perspective I don’t like having a child downstairs with adults upstairs. All in all, a decent stay, but could have been so much better with a few small tweaks and a bit more care, especially considering what it cost.

  We have stayed in several cottages on this creek so we had a good idea of what to expect but this property was the most comfortable of all of them.

  Yes - the accommodation is snug for 4 people and the spiral stairs may be an issue for some but the description of the property accurately warns of this. Everything we needed was provided and we really love the (slightly remote) location. The creek has a character if its' own and the wild life is wonderful. It's only a 2 mile (off road) walk to Padstow but be aware of the tide, the boardwalk may be slightly submerged in the case of a very high tide. We love walking and the nearby headlands are fabulous for circular walks, the scenery unbeatable. Go equipped, even though Tesco is only a few minutes drive away and it is very well stocked, it gets very busy during school holiday time. We shall most certainly return and make a point of enjoying more meals at the Old Mill Bistro and The Pickwick. We tend to avoid Stein's empire but the goujons at his cafe make a stop worth a visit!

  We have stayed in another of these cottages twice before.

  This is by far the nicest one. The cottage was clean and welcoming with complementary tea/ coffee and biscuits. It was ideal for us as my friend is not able to use stairs and had her own bedroom and bathroom downstairs. Mine upstairs was absolutely gorgeous, so light and airy, with really lovely furnishings. It was lovely to have a little conservatory to sit in as the weather was not at its best. We toured around and ate at the Ring o bells in St Issey most evenings. I walked along the creek path into Padstow and back a few times as I have in the past and it was absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone ,and I will be back. Thank you so much to Pauline for looking after the cottage and to Sykes for the excellent communication in cancelling last years and rebooking for this year because of you know what. Linda and Karen

  The property had a terrible smell of wee coming from the downstairs bedroom which wafted into the lounge. I slept in that bedroom and it was horrible. It was clearly a child’s room with a very basic mattress but not described as one when booking. The sofas were also very uncomfortable and offered no support at all as they just collapsed when you sat on them. My back was constantly hurting. Lovely kitchen area and the rest of the house was ok except for the cleanliness which lacked a lot. Investing in decent mattresses with protective covers and proper sofas would make all the difference. My Mom who is 89 was going to use that downstairs bedroom and I had to help her upstairs every night proved a big problem for us. I would book again but next time would ask more questions about the property before I booked online!
