Soak in that fresh sea air every day when staying in St Issey, a vibrant North Cornwall village that’s just 3 miles from Padstow. Filled to the brim with natural light, this handsome ground-floor apartment is a wonderfully cheerful place for four guests to stay, an ideal option for family getaways.

Both bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom with a luxurious rainfall shower.
St Issey is simply surrounded by the tranquil coast and countryside that makes Cornwall so beloved. You’ll need to venture past Padstow to reach your nearest beach, the golden sand haven of St George’s Cove (4 miles). From here you can peer over the Camel Estuary onto Rock Beach, a spot well worth visiting via the passenger ferry from Padstow (4.5 miles on foot, 11.5-mile drive). Find a hive of activities just 2-3 miles in the opposite direction, with the Tide Climbing Centre and Camel Creek Theme Park for kids and a wonderful local vineyard for the grown-ups.

Miss Seymour
The accommodation was lovely and spacious, and the inside very clean. There were just a couple of things that reduced the ratings and were issues that were due to outside factors. There was dog mess left on the gravel outside our property from other residents. The noise from the flat above was very loud, you could hear heavy feet, running children and moving furniture every night, sometime past 11pm. Other than this, the accommodation was lovely and I would stay again.

Overall we had a pleasant stay. The property is in a good location close to Padstow. We found the beds and sofa hard and uncomfortable.

Lovely quiet area, great location for us as everything within a 20mins - 1hr drive away which isn’t too far in all honesty. Beds are a bit on the hard side so didn’t sleep great all week but I wasn’t going to let this spoil the break away. Would definitely recommend and would definitely use again.
