Love staying in a quintessential Cornish fishing port?
During the 18th and 19th centuries, Cornwall had a thriving fishing industry which has left many beautiful fishing towns and villages across the county. In the 20th century, the industry still remains although it’s much smaller and has become much more diverse.
Located on the north coast of Cornwall, Padstow has skyrocketed in popularity over the past few years.
This is the perfect place if you love a charming Cornish town, with old fishermen’s cottages and merchant’s houses. Although the fishing industry has declined in the town, it has an inherent charm with plenty of beautiful beaches nearby. Beaches close by include St George's Cove and Hawker's Cove which are excellent for families.
Padstow harbour has plenty of pleasure craft and working fishing boats to watch. You can also take a fun boat trip, or ride the Rock ferry which is ideal for day-trippers out of Padstow.
With our self-catering holiday cottages Coachyard Mews, which are pet-friendly and based in prime locations, you can enjoy everything Padstow has to offer. We also have a single holiday cottage, Thyme Cottage, on the famous Camel Trail, one of the most beautiful recreational trails in Britain.
Padstow is a top destination for eating out with Rick Stein having several restaurants in this area.
