About this property

Lobster Pot in Padstow Is A 'fisherman's Style' Cottage With A Parking Space.

Lobster Pot Cottage is a 'fisherman's style' cottage with a parking space, situated right in the heart of Padstow and only 175 yards from the quayside.

It is built partly of Delabole slate, with huge oak beams, oak doors, and floors of oak and old flagstones and the property has been finished to a very high specification with a charming vaulted living area at first floor level.

Downstairs there is a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, both with oak beams, oak doors and a fitted wardrobe. The family bathroom is also on the ground floor with a modern range of sanitary ware, a shower over the bath and stone tiles. Old flagstones run throughout this level with under floor heating.

Upstairs there is a light and airy living area with the lounge one side of the oak staircase and the dining area the other. The room has a vaulted ceiling with huge oak beams and an oak floor with central heating and is decorated with a nautical theme as befitting it's Lobster Pot name. There is a TV with integral DVD together with a radio/CD player. The large, comfortable corner sofa converts to a sofa bed if needed. The kitchen leads off the dining area and has a range of modern units, as well as an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer and is very well equipped.

Off the lounge and kitchen is a small terrace with garden furniture for dining alfresco with a gate and steps down from the terrace to ground floor level.

PLEASE NOTE:
Short breaks of 2, 3 or 4 nights are calculated on a percentage basis (not a nightly rate) and are normally, only accepted from November - end of February, unless we still have availability closer to the commencement date.

AROUND THE LOCAL AREA.
The historic town of Padstow has evolved around the busy harbour and quayside and is very picturesque with its narrow streets, littered with cafes, restaurants, interesting shops and tiny cottages. Much of the locally caught fish and seafood are sent to fish markets all over the country, but there is still plenty for the locals and the visitors, especially for the town's renowned seafood restaurants.

The town is surrounded by rugged cliffs, hidden coves and beautiful sandy beaches, such as Porthcothan, Constantine, Treyaron, Trevone, Harlyn, Daymer and Watergate bay. There is a ferry in the summer which takes visitors over to Rock on the other side of the estuary.
There is plenty to keep visitors happy, whether it is walking along the coastal path, cycling the Camel trail, surfing, visiting National Trust houses and gardens or just wandering around the shops and watching the local fisherman attending to their daily chores.

Great location walking distance to everything. Everything we needed in the property for the weekend. Nb. Pub garden opposite house which is a bit noisy.

A perfect weekend break

We were 2 couples staying for a long weekend. 2 went to Rick Steins seafood school for a day course, and 2 decided to take a 4 hour walk around the beautiful headlands. The flat is perfect for this type of relaxing reunion, well equipped and nicely decorated. Super location. And free parking but only for relatively small cars.

Lovely cottage in great location

This was much better than your average property. It was smaller than it looks on the website but it was comfortable, and the kitchen was very well equipped with utensils and dishwasher / washing machine etc. It was nicely decorated too with taste , and frlt like someones home rather than a holiday rental. I would stay here again. Only adverse comment is that the parking bay is small; I had an Audi A6 and it was a struggle to park.

Thank you for your favourable review. The parking area is a little tight but I'm very privileged to have a parking space in the centre of Padstow town.

Central Padstow location

Well laid out cottage; upside down arrangements allowed us to get benefit of sunshine and use of terrace. Parking space a real bonus, although even more difficult to get into than we had been warned.

padstow tardis

great location , property, kitchen , dining facilities excellent, outdoor space for a car and to eat was a real bonus especially in padstow. Essentials in the fridge and store cupboard much appreciated and Was great to get a text earlier than covid checkin of 5pm saying the property was ready. Note to those wanting to work while there the wifi is not good, not sure if this is Padstow generally but its very hit and miss.

Home from home

We have stayed at a few Holiday rental homes but this was the best yet! Very well equipped and clean. Items such as kitchen foil, paper towels, toilet paper, tea and coffee were on hand throughout our stay. The pub opposite was excellent and away from the madding crowd even though the Harbour centre is only 3 minutes away. Parking at the house is tight. We have a BMW1 series which only just fit lengthways! Glad we didn`t need to use it at all during our stay though. Ferries and buses are within easy reach, along with the local Spar shop which is only 100 metres away past Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth`s cafe`s. Would love to stay again.
