  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.

  Little Sea Shanty proved a fantastic find this Summer. The location was perfect for us. We had an easy walk to both Porth and Lusty Glaze beaches and small supermarkets so didn't use the car every day. It was also a great place to stay to explore further afield than Newquay. Sarah, the owner had thought of every little detail to make our week's stay enjoyable. The accommodation was carefully designed to use every bit of space effectively and the fixtures and fittings were high end. We are very fussy about beds and the bed was extremely comfortable. Sarah had left chocolate treats, prosecco and even M & S dog treats and a ball for our pooch! When she found out we were vegan, she returned with vegan treats too! Sarah and her partner also gave us useful local knowledge during our stay. Make sure you book this accommodation early as I imagine it will become very popular.

  What a new gem for Newquay. A perfectly modern and compact little accommodation. Super location to access all Newquay and the north coast has to offer. Very close to our favourite beaches Lusty Glaze and Porth. Such a peaceful area but so close to walk into town. Everything was truly spotless and the owner was such a friendly host greeting us on arrival and stopping to chat throughout our stay but never intrusive at all. She has made the annex so welcoming for dogs too and even had a little gift bag waiting for our dog. I cannot recommend this property enough. We have stayed all over Cornwall and this one really is the best for location and quality. It’s rare to find such a high standard of property with a super location, parking and a garden at a great price. We cannot wait to come and stay with you again and thank you for being a wonderful host

  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!
