Padstow Townhouse in Padstow, England

The hotel provides free private parking on site, a rarity in central Padstow. Guests have access to an innovative honesty bar stocked with local snacks, wines, and homemade treats like cakes and scones. An electric car shuttle service takes guests to the harbour and Paul Ainsworth restaurants, and then brings them back up the hill after dinner.

Each of the 6 suites has a distinct theme, such as Popcorn, Toffee Apple, Rhubarb & Custard, or Marshmallow, with a bespoke decorative style. The suites include a separate lounge or seating area, a roll-top bath, and a separate walk-in shower with branded toiletries. Every room has a king-size bed with hypoallergenic bedding and a well-stocked minibar with local drinks.

Breakfast is delivered to the room each morning in a wicker hamper filled with locally sourced ingredients such as freshly baked bread, smoked salmon, cheeses, homemade yoghurt, and granola. The on-site kitchen pantry is open 24 hours and contains local treats, wines, and cocktail ingredients for guests to help themselves. Guests also receive complimentary warm sticky toffee pudding on arrival and a flask of hot chocolate with liqueur as a nightcap.

The hotel arranges stress-relieving spa treatments using organic products, delivered in-suite by a therapist named Jess. Staff communicate directly with guests before arrival to confirm dietary needs, then personalise the breakfast hamper accordingly (gluten-free, plant-based, etc.). The team also provides wellies and board games for borrowing, and a pet basket and bowls for guests travelling with dogs.

The property sits 400 metres from Padstow Harbour on a quiet street with views of the local church. Cornwall's Camel Estuary, the Eden Project, and Tintagel Castle are all reachable within a short drive from the hotel. Cycling and hiking routes start directly from the door, and the electric car shuttle covers the short walk into town.
