What is the difference between the cottages ?
#5 and #6 either side of the archway are 3-bedroom, comprising one double, one twin and an adult size bunk bedroom
#5 has large garden gates, enabling the parking of a second vehicle
Of the 2-bedroom cottages, #1 and #4 are link detached and only share one wall with neighbouring Mews cottages. #2 and #3 are mid-terrace and have neighbours on both sides. In addition the parking space for #4 is separate from the Mews, in a layby in St Edmunds lane. #4 has the largest garden and the benefit of a garden hot tub, which can be optionally hired.
Equipment, decor, and ground level living space are all very similar.
Is it possible to arrange an early check in / late checkout ?
We really appreciate our guests adhering to the designated arrival / departure times which are staggered to avoid congestion in The Mews.
Are the gardens secure ?
All the gardens are fenced with 6ft fence panels (3ft picket fence at Thyme Cottage) and to the best of my knowledge, we’ve not had a successful escape attempt to date
How far is it to the centre of Padstow?
Coachyard Mews is in New Street, in the town centre. Thyme Cottage is about a level mile’s easy walk away along the Camel Estuary
Is it possible to arrange grocery deliveries ?
Yes it is, but please ensure the time slot selected is after your check in time.
Are there any beaches nearby ?
Town beach is within walking distance, about half a mile away. There are several other sandy beaches less than 5 miles away.
Are the cottages suitable for mobility challenged people ?
Thyme Cottage is a single story bungalow, with 3 steps up to the back door,and 5 steps to the front. Coachyard Mews cottages are two storey, with a standard modern staircase and a handrail on both sides.
CANCELLATION
My plans have changed. Can I get a refund ?
A 25% booking fee/deposit is required to secure a reservation at the time of booking. In return for this payment I undertake to hold your choice of cottage and not re-let it to other interested parties, of which there may be many. As such the booking fee/deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable. In the event of cancellation by guest, for whatever reason, it may not be possible to replace the booking. Should a replacement is found, all monies paid may be transferred to a future booking of your choice within 12 months. It goes without saying that the longer the notice period the greater the likelihood of success. The same terms apply to balance payments, although in many cases, as payment is made near to the arrival date, the chances of a re-letting are much reduced.
What happens if it is illegal to travel because of COVID ?
In this unfortunate circumstance, transfers to a future date within 12 months, will be invited, 7 days before the arrival date, once restrictions are clear.
