Nearby
Padstow is a picturesque harbour town, who’s winding streets hide a plentiful number of pleasant surprises. Famous for its selection of gourmet restaurants, including those of Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth, Padstow offers an amazing culinary scene and several brilliant pubs and bars. In between the fine dining experiences, try dodging the seagulls with a traditional Cornish pasty or spot of fish and chips while sitting by the harbours edge.
Padstow is situated on the Southwest Coast path, perfect for a scenic walk along the striking coastline. Hop on your bike and enjoy the Camel Trail, a level track which follows the estuary to Wadebridge and beyond. Take your pick from several stunning beaches all within a short drive and with fantastic surf schools at Harlyn Bay, Polzeath and Watergate Bay amongst others, you can pack your holiday with activities in no time.
Layout
Up one flight of stairs from street level, this duplex apartment has a feeling of being tucked away from the bustling streets below. Spread across the first floor is a fantastic kitchen with large island and access to the garden, and a cosy living room with plenty of space to relax. The modern kitchen has a breakfast bar with high stool seating, and the lovely, enclosed garden has a table and chairs for al fresco dining.
Follow the winding stairs to the upper floor, where, tucked under the eaves you find a spacious yet cosy king size bedroom, the perfect place to rest your head. Exposed beams and wooden floors bring this cottage to life and create an authentic atmosphere, while the modern shower room and WC enjoy views over the rooftops to the estuary beyond.

Great stay! Loved the location

We had a lovely stay in ‘The Loft’. Very clean and well equipped. Perfect place for exploring Padstow and areas around. The bed was super comfy as others have commented and it was great having a parking space so central also. I would defo recommend this place for couples wanting to explore the area.

This beautiful two-storey loft apartment is right in the centre of Padstow. Everything is in waking distance and incredible restaurants are quite literally on the doorstep. The apartment had everything we needed, we cooked in two nights, it was spacious, there were stunning fresh flowers, the king-sized bed was SO comfortable, and the parking space was worth its weight in gold. We spent 5 nights here as a dogless couple in our 40s/50s and it couldn’t have suited us more. Watch out for hitting your head in the bedroom if, like us, you are both 6′, but don’t let that put you off; an occasional stoop was worth it!

We loved the town centre location and having a dedicated parking space close by was brilliant. Apartment was tidy with a very well-equipped kitchen. Would definitely consider going back.

Excellent location very close to the harbour and in the midst of shops and restaurants. Very tiny town centre so all less then a minute’s walk. At the start of the beautiful walks along the coast in both directions – no car needed.

What a great find! This apartment is in the heart of padstow and is great for exploring all the restaurants, bars, shops and the nearby beach and estuary. Very spacious with all the amenities. We stayed with our dog and three month old baby. It also came with a parking permit for the harbour car park which was one less thing to worry about. Would recommend grabbing an ice latte from the coffee shop below the flat before heading out for the day!!!

The apartment is in an excellent location about a 2 minute walk to the harbor area, pubs, restaurants and shops.. It can be difficult to park in Padstow sometimes and so having the parking spot in the North Quay car park as part of the booking is great.
Ashley, July 2024
Great place to stay and right in the heart of Padstow. Apartment was beautiful and the added bonus of a designated parking space was extremely helpful given how busy Padstow is. Beware the seagulls if walking around with food though as those sky pirates are well drilled in the art of ice cream stealing! Enjoy The Loft it’s awesome.

Great location, a bonus having a parking space. Communication was excellent.
Robert, June 2024
Spacious accommodation, well located, very near harbour and restaurants. Excellent car parking space provided on the quayside. Outside space was very welcome. Excellent cafe right on the doorstep.
Rob, May 2024
Loved our stay at 18 Duke Street! Being so close to the town with our 6 month old was perfect, surrounded by amazing restaurants and places to go for drinks. We will definitely be back next year.

Excellent location, well-appointed and very helpful hosts
Jo, February 2024
A great pied a terre with excellent parking. Very quiet too even though in the centre of Padstow.
David, January 2024
The location was fantastic and the apartment was very spacious with a huge bedroom and a garden which was perfect if you have dogs like us. They had used the interior space very well and it had a wonderful hot shower.
