Introduction
Perched above the town, with a panoramic view of the iconic Camel Estuary, this stylish, dog friendly apartment is imbued with a sense of light and space. Laid out over one floor, the generous accommodation includes a sociable open plan living, dining and kitchen area opening out onto the balcony, all taking in those incredible views. There are two restful bedrooms, one with a beautiful ensuite shower room and additional balcony tucked at the rear, and a family bathroom.

Inside Space
Located on a quiet corner of the grounds, this beautifully appointed apartment has a genuine feel of space and light throughout. Enhanced by the coastal colour palette and neutral tones, the contemporary styling creates a feel of holiday relaxation.
The wide hallway provides a great spot to dump the bags and explore. Leading off the hallway is a generous master suite with king bed which features a private terrace, ensuite shower room and walk-in closet, creating a tranquil retreat. Adjacent to the master is a bright and welcoming twin bedroom with dual aspect windows, providing views over the gardens and the rooves of the town below. A spacious family bathroom sits opposite, featuring high quality fixtures and fittings, and conveniently placed for guests.
Stepping back into the hallway, all eyes are drawn to the water. Providing a panoramic view of the estuary and the rolling hills of Rock, the open plan living area is a host’s dream. Making the most of the views to the water, the living area is dominated by large French doors which lead out on to a wonderful balcony, a great space for spending family time together. The sleek and modern styling of the kitchen provides ample room for creating those holiday feasts, all while enjoying those spectacular views.
Outside Space
Fish and Ships benefits from two terraces, one from the master suite and the second from the living area.

Second visit and every bit as brilliant as the first. The apartment has everything you could possibly need as well as being well laid out, loads of space and modern equipment (eg. Smart TV). Wanted for nothing and really appreciate the bottle of wine and biscuits waiting for us on arrival. It’s something barely anyone does anymore and yet the impact is so underestimated (even if people don’t feedback). All these things just go to drive repeat business as I know we won’t hesitate to book this again for the next time we visit. 5/5⭐

New build, spotless, loads of thoughtful touches. Great view, comfy beds and well stocked kitchen…everything we could ever need!

The apartment was absolutely perfect. Very clean throughout. The host had thought of providing everything you may need during your stay . Perfect location. Exactly what the photos look like. Excellent value for money we will definitely be rebooking and have recommended to all of our friends and family

Great place to stay, everything was perfect. We had a lovely time in Padstow. Thank you.

We had a lovely stay. Very comfortable place. Everything was as described, and the pictures really can’t do the beautiful apartment and view justice. With everything being on one level and a large outside area for unloading, it was perfect for us with a baby and a dog in tow. Despite that, being on the side of a hill means you still feel private and like you are above everything when you are in the flat. Having EV charging with the parking space was also a massive bonus for us. I can’t overstate how well the logistics worked, which is no mean feat in somewhere like Padstow. Would stay again!

We had a lovely stay in Padstow. The apartment lives up to expectations and the view is amazing! The apartment is as described and the welcome gift was a nice surprise. A very easy walk into Padstow with lots of shops and restaurants and to have an apartment with parking in the centre of Padstow is a bonus. The ferry over to Rock runs regularly during the day and saves a long drive round the coast. Communication with the host was very easy and they accommodated our requests. We would definitely recommend this apartment.
