Great house for families in Padstow
Heron Cottage is a lovely place to stay. It's spacious and very well equipped with everything we needed. Plusses for us included the yard outside with nice space to sit; a nice range of games and books; lots of cuddly blankets and comfy sofas. The hosts had left us a delicious homemade cake which was really appreciated. The road is a little noisy intermittently at night, but otherwise the location is brilliant. We greatly enjoyed our stay and would wholeheartedly recommend Heron Cottage and are grateful to the hosts for our stay.

Wonderful!!!
We truly enjoyed our stay at Heron Cottage in Padstow. We can't say enough good stuff about it. The house is beautiful. Very clean. It's right next door to a fantastic restaurant and minutes away from the shopping center. We had 5 people in our group, and it was plenty big enough. A quick walk to parking. We had never been to Cornwall before, so we did a number of day trips, including one to Port Isaac, but we discovered that Padstow itself is the best town around. It has great stores and ice cream shops. Clare is very nice and was very responsive. We will definitely be back.

Fabulous house in amazing location
We stayed for a week at Clare’s wonderful house right in the middle of Padstow. The house was immaculately clean and had every amenity you could ask for. All the rooms are spacious, light and bright, and have been newly decorated. There was even a home made cake to welcome us. The location of the house is perfect for walking to all the bars and shops in Padstow. And you can hop on a bus so easily to get to nearby beaches and attractions. We cannot recommend the house highly enough, and will definitely be going back. Clare is also extremely quick to respond to any questions you may have.

Heron Cottage 2022
Beautiful property, tastefully presented, the potential early check in is very handy, although the weather was good when we arrived and filled our time playing crazy golf. Personal touches, cider and home baked tea loaf very welcome. We had no problem parking at the Lawn car park which is very close. Would definitely recommend and would like to return.

Excellent location right in the middle of Padstow
The house provided us with a good base for our holiday ,right in the town and we were able to park very close in a public car park .There was always plenty of water but the owners were unable to provide baby equipment so we had to take our own and a tumble dryer would have been appreciated having two small children in our party . The property looked like it had been refurbished recently ,the beds were comfy and bedding and linens in good condition

Perfect Padstow Cottage
Couldn’t have been more delighted with this beautiful cottage right in the middle of Padstow so close to everything! The house was spacious, immaculately decorated and appointed. Clare was easily contactable and helpful. What a treat to arrive and find a home baked fruit loaf and some local beer as a welcome gift! The beds were really comfy and the bathrooms were beautiful and spacious. The towels and linens were of top quality too. The view from the top floor was amazing. We were on a 4 day break from our busy lives and we all came home refreshed and ready to face normality ( although, of course, we didn’t really want to leave!). We will definitely book Heron Cottage again!

Wonderful and comfortable house
We didn’t know Padstow so didn’t really know what to expect but the house was so well positioned and so near the centre - but equally was off the main drag and therefore quiet. The house has been completely upgraded and is comfortable and spacious with everything you could need - kitchen appliances etc. Plenty of shower rooms and loos and lots of space. A gorgeous place and we had a wonderful holiday in this beautiful house

Family Holiday Padstow
A 5 star property. A very nice and comfortable property in a good location in Padstow. Very close (2 minutes walk) to the harbour without being right in the middle of things. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Decor, fixtures and fittings were all very good. Nice bedding and towels. The house was ideal for our family of five but, as advertised, there would have been enough room for eight if required. Steep and narrow stairs to the top floor and parking a couple of hundred metres away in a local car park, means it might not work so well for anyone with mobility issues but we had no problem with loading or unloading. Owners were very helpful and answered the few questions we had very promptly. Overall a great property.

Comfort and Joy!
Property has been renovated to a very high standard. Very comfortable beds, sofas, large bathrooms with very good showers. Fully equipped kitchen and lovely dinner service. Everything you could want plus beautiful view over the estuary from top bedroom. Only suggestion, which I don't think is on the property description is that the stairs to the top bedroom are steep and narrow, but worth the climb for the lovely view!

Fantastic Holiday Home in Padstow
We really enjoyed our stay at 8 New Street in Padstow. The house is modern, very clean and comfortable. The location is second to none. Right in the heart of Padstow. No need to drive at all. We loved the court yard garden for a glass of wine in the evening. We ate at Burger and Fish, Embers Pizza, St Petroc’s Bistro and The Harbour Kitchen. The food at Burger and Fish was our favourite. We would definitely love to return.

We stayed October half term. The property has ample space to accomodate 8 or two families. We were 5 and had plenty of space. It's minutes from the harbour and all the attractions. No parking but the car park only a couple of minutes walk.

Short Stay in Padstow
Absolutely stunning cottage with lots of open space to relax. All bedrooms were a good size with plenty of storage. Bathrooms and showers spacious and clean with never ending hot water and clean fluffy towels. The cottage was beautifully decorated and had everything you could possibly need for a very relaxing stress free holiday. Would definitely stay again.
