A Birthday Break Done Right

Pros: We were in Padstow celebrating my partner’s birthday and had such a lovely stay. From the moment we arrived, Ellie (the general manager) made us feel really welcome. She let us know we’d been upgraded and even took the time to chat about what we had planned while we were there, which was a really nice touch. Our room overlooked the quayside and was spacious, spotless, and had a great little seating area. The bed was super comfy and the shower room was just as clean and fresh. Because we were there for a birthday, they completely surprised us — by the time we’d grabbed our bags from the car and got back up to the room, there was a bottle of Prosecco and a birthday card waiting on the coffee table. Such a thoughtful gesture. Breakfast was included and we can absolutely recommend the full English — it was spot on. Every member of staff we met was friendly, polite and professional. All in all, it was a short but very sweet stay — we’d happily go back.

Cons: The weather- just a little wet.

Perfect location in the heart of Padstow's old town.

Pros: Excellent location with great view over harbour and close proximity to Padstow's wonderful restaurants. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Parking was easy and well priced, right opposite the hotel.

Cons: I understand that whole hotel is going to be completely renovated in the next year, so minor niggles about radiators being a little bit noisy will probably date fairly soon.
