Padstow Harbour Hotel

Padstow Harbour Hotel is an imposing Victorian building perched majestically on the crest of a gentle hill, overlooking the popular Cornish town of Padstow and the Camel Estuary. In addition to being one of the county's prettiest fishing villages, Padstow is best-known for its seafood.

Bright, individually styled rooms with a TV, work area and a private bathroom, many of the rooms also enjoy views across the water. Free tea and coffee, a hairdryer and ironing facilities are also included.

The Harbour Kitchen: Bar + Terrace looks over the harbour and uses Cornish produce to create a daily menu. Guests can enjoy afternoon cream teas, and the Met Café Bar provides light food.

The restaurants of Padstow harbour, including those of famous chef Rick Stein, are within just a few minutes’ walk.

The town harbour is a working one and it's always a pleasure to watch the fishing boats return home to unload their catch, much of which is available in the town.

In fact, Padstow has quite a maritime history and there are some quirky facts to discover in the local museum. A myriad of winding streets filled with an eclectic selection of shops and galleries will keep you browsing for hours.

Within 5 minutes of the hotel you can be pottering round the village, on a bike to ride the Camel Trail to Wadebridge where once upon a time your could sell your wife for less than 2 shillings! Within 10 minutes you can be setting up your spot for the day on a wide expanse of sandy beach (there are several to choose from nearby).

Attractions such as The Eden Project, Camel Valley Vineyard (best bubbly!), National Trust's Lanhydrock House are all within easy travelling distance. There's also plenty happening in the town, not least of which is Obby Oss Day on May 1st, when the streets are alive in celebration. It's an intriguing spectacle that draws people back time and again.

If gardening is your cup of tea then the beauty of the Eden project, Lost Gardens of Heligan and the surprisingly abundant Pine Lodge Gardens in nearby St Austell are easily accessible.

Wireless broadband internet access.
