  Both pros and cons to this cottage! One of the twin mattresses was awful and needs replacing immediately, it creaks and groans and you can feel every spring. It was really uncomfortable & noisy! Under the twin beds hadn’t been dusted or mopped. Pans are no longer non stick & should be replaced. Bed runners (twin) were dirty and hadn’t been cleaned between guests. Pills (twin) are flat & need replacing. Double bed was too short for a man of 6’ 2”. However, the cottage is excellently located, a 16-minute walk to Padstow town centre. It was very convenient to have parking spaces as parking in Padstow itself looks a nightmare. We had a delivery from Sainsbury but there is a Tesco up the road. Hob is induction which is far better than the electric you find in most holiday cottages! Plenty of plates & glasses etc although we had to wash them on arrival. Lots to do in Padstow, it’s a really good location for a couples or family holiday. We also did a 5km walk from the town, and walked to St George’s Cove, from the cottage. Just be warned, if you have a child, every stair & upstairs floorboard creaks; it was impossible to ‘creep’ out having got my daughter to sleep without waking her. There is a downstairs single but it’s right next to the lounge area so not great for noise, plus from a safety perspective I don’t like having a child downstairs with adults upstairs. All in all, a decent stay, but could have been so much better with a few small tweaks and a bit more care, especially considering what it cost.

  Lobster House is a beautiful little cottage with amazing artwork in a great location for accessing the harbour: it's a 5 minute walk. It has a lovely kitchen diner with lots of space to fit a family in and the kitchen is well equipped. The sitting room is on the first floor and very cosy, it is a tight squeeze to fit everyone on the sofa but there are bean bags and floor cushions. There is a twin room on the first floor and then a double on the second floor accessed by some steep stairs so not suitable for everyone. This bedroom is gorgeous, with luxurious bedding. If you like to sleep with the window open then this room might not be for you as it faces the road which is well used by lorries and busses and they make a very loud noise when accelerating up past the cottage. There is no designated parking but Lawns car park is literally behind the cottage and costs £10 for 24 hours. We enjoyed our stay very much.

  The booking process was very simple and clearly laid out on the website. All the information we received prior to arriving was useful, concise and very easy to follow. When we arrived and realised we’d forgotten to book a stair gate, one was delivered within an hour which was fab! The property itself was brilliant, great location just a few minutes walk from the harbour, clean (although it could have been a little cleaner) and well appointed. There was lots of useful information in the guest book as well. Our only note would be to perhaps explore putting blackout blinds on the master bedroom windows - the sun shone straight onto the pillows at 5:30am which stopped us having the holiday lay in we’d hoped for - and the water pressure on the shower could have been stronger. Other than those two minor points, everything was lovely.

  The property had a terrible smell of wee coming from the downstairs bedroom which wafted into the lounge. I slept in that bedroom and it was horrible. It was clearly a child’s room with a very basic mattress but not described as one when booking. The sofas were also very uncomfortable and offered no support at all as they just collapsed when you sat on them. My back was constantly hurting. Lovely kitchen area and the rest of the house was ok except for the cleanliness which lacked a lot. Investing in decent mattresses with protective covers and proper sofas would make all the difference. My Mom who is 89 was going to use that downstairs bedroom and I had to help her upstairs every night proved a big problem for us. I would book again but next time would ask more questions about the property before I booked online!
