Enjoying a fabulous location in the heart of the popular harbour town of Padstow, this light and relaxing cottage makes a cosy getaway for exploring the beautiful North Cornwall coast.

The cottage is set in the centre of Padstow, close to a range of welcoming pubs, excellent restaurants and cheerful cafes, many of them pet-friendly. The harbour is also nearby, where you can watch the fishing boats bring in the catch, or take a trip out to sea or along the River Camel.

Captains Cottage is perfectly located for a holiday in Padstow - minutes from the harbour but so quiet. Everything you need is provided along with thoughtful local treats and goodies for the dogs!

We had a fabulous week at Captains Cottage. The cottage has everything you could possibly need and more. The shower room and kitchen are fantastic and felt very homely. The outside area has a useful heater and a very peaceful space that we used a lot. In the centre of Padstow and a 2 minute walk to almost everything, we ate out a lot and very handyRead more bakeries for breakfast. Just perfect and would highly recommend. Hide

The cottage was a joy. It is was comfortable and was beautifully decorated and well-equipped for two of us. The location was perfect as well as it was right in the centre of Padstow with easy access to the shops and harbour and yet was very quiet. Would definitely return to The Captain's Cottage.

Having visiting padstow many times previously in our campervan and recently selling it, we came across Captains Cottage which fitted the bill perfectly. Right in the heart of Padstow, this lovely little cottage is lovingly presented using locally sourced art, trinkets and crockery. All bases were covered with good Internet, smart TV, speaker and Read moreeven a Nespresso coffee machine. We arrived to find a bottle of local wine, some treats for both us and Ralph (our whippet), milk, sugar and pods for the Nespresso coffee machine. Everything was immaculate, the bed the comfy and walk in shower hot and powerful. We had a wonderful week taking long dog walks, eating wonderful food in Padstow and visiting the local area. The location, care and attention to detail shown by the owners was fantastic, we would certainly stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend captains cottage to anyone wishing to spend a few days in and around Padstow.
