We had a relaxing week's stay and, if returning to Padstow, Seahorses would be top of our list.

It was a clean, tidy and well looked after property. The beds were incredibly comfortable! Facilities easy to use and we really appreciated the washing line and access to washing machine too. The hosts left scones and a key ring for us which was a lovely touch as well as set up a travel cot so our little one could stay too. It was a short walk into Padstow and easy access to road to drive just about anywhere in North Cornwall within 30/45 mins. We would definitely stay again!

The cream tea was a lovely touch. Only the addition of a dishwasher would make it perfect.
