“Firstly I did try to give 5 stars but I could only select 4?”

We had such a lovely time. Beachcomber was more than we hoped for, come the end we didn’t want to leave. Felt very homely and everything we needed was present. My 7yr old daughter loved the toys which was a nice touch. Loved the beds, very comfortable. We hope to return again.

“The house was dusty downstairs and the rugs needed a good hoover.”

There wasn't a bbq, think one was listed in the details. A couple of pans had been put away dirty (baked on scrambled eggs) this may be because there weren't any non stick pans. There was no welcome pack - covid may be the reason given for this but if soap etc can be left why not milk? Having used Helpful holidays when they were independent we felt standards and the bits that made the company special had been lost now they are owned by Sykes. We are now less likely to use Helpful holidays than we were, especially with the huge price rises this year had seen.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the not up to standard cleanliness and we will be sure more attention will be put into in. The property does not have a BBQ and it was never listed as having one. The Welcome Pack is optional and it is not a requirement for all properties to have. We hope you will visit Beachcomber again in the future for more lovely holidays in Cornwall. Property Owner

“We just spent 2 weeks in the most comfortable, perfectly located house, we couldn’t have asked for anything better.”

The only negative, a price increase of £1000 for the same time next year, otherwise I would have rebooked by now.

“After a 7 hour journey, we arrived to find no milk in the fridge and that all the local shops were closed.”

We had to venture out, away from Padstow to find basic provisions. We recognise that Covid restrictions may limit "Welcome Packs", however, we have stayed in other accommodation during this holiday, where "Welcome Packs" have been safely left. Given the price of this accommodation, compared to those, the lack of at least a pint of milk is extremely disappointing and would be much less risky from a Covid point of view than leaving all the soft furnishings in the living room and bedrooms, which you have done. Some of the crockery and cutlery, which were found in the Dishwasher, and in the cupboards, were not clean. Remnants of food and grease were found on several plates, baking trays, and cutlery. Parking on the road outside was a nightmare, with very limited space and the hill being very steep. We think this should be highlighted in the listing in case people have mobility problems. There was also a confidentiality issue, as in one of the drawers, we found the previous occupant's full name and contact details for "Track & trace", which had not been removed and kept safely as per guidelines.

- David, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback. The Welcome Pack is optional and it is not a requirement for all properties to have. Shops in Padstow usually close around 6 pm but the main superstores are open until 9 pm / 10 pm. We apologize for the crockery and cutlery and we will be sure the cleanliness will be up to the best standard. The parking outside the property is a first come first serve system but there is a pay and display car park just 5 minutes on foot. Unfortunately, the streets in Padstow are quite narrow and hilly as the majority of the Cornwall. We apologize for the Track & Trace issue, the information will now be stored differently. We hope you will visit Beachcomber again in the future for more lovely holidays in Cornwall. Property Owner

The property

Found in the popular and stunning fishing port of Padstow is this delightful seaside cottage, close to any amenities and not far from the harbour, Beachcomber is exceptionally stylish and welcoming, furnished beautifully throughout. Perfect for a larger family looking to have a seaside holiday, you are within easy walking distance of the heart of Padstow or a short driving distance from nearby beaches that this area of Cornwall is so famous for. Relax in the calming sitting room with its ocean themed colour scheme of blue, sand, and wood, creating a calm space to enjoy the company of your loved ones. Head into the well-equipped kitchen to prepare a delicious meal for everyone, before serving it up on the dining table to enjoy some family time, discussing the plans for the days ahead. On a balmy summer evening, take the conversations outside and relax with a glass of wine amongst the garden furniture as the night draws in. Upstairs find your perfect resting spot in one of the three lovely bedrooms comprising of a super-king-size, a twin room and a bunk room where you will find ample storage for your belongings. A sparkling bathroom lies on the first-floor with a bath and separate shower, while a further shower room rests on the ground-floor so there shouldn't be too much queuing in the morning! When you're heading out, consider taking a fishing trip from the harbour with options for 2 to 8 hour trips available, where you can experience the wonderful Cornish coast from out on the water. Why not hire some bikes and ride along The Camel Trail, a disused railway line following the Camel Estuary from Padstow to Wadebridge before joining the route through the wooded Camel Valley to Bodmin, with incredible landscapes to be seen and an array of wildlife all around. Beachcomber will be a home-from-home for you in this picturesque port town.

About the location

PADSTOW

Harlyn 2.9 miles; Constantine Bay 4.2 miles; Polzeath 15.6 miles.

Padstow is situated at the head of the Camel Cycle Trail and is a fantastic base for exploring the South West Coastal Path which opens up routes to beautiful Cornish countryside. This delightful fishing port is surrounded by sandy beaches and offers many opportunities to taste the locally sourced produce in celebrity owned establishments. Padstow has something for everyone with watersports, walking, cycling and fishing, you can even take a trip on a local fisherman’s boat! The excellent surfing beaches of Harlyn and Constantine are ideal for safe family fun, and Constantine Bay is also home to a golf course, just a few miles away, while a passenger ferry across the river from Padstow to Rock takes you to the beach at Daymer Bay. Just around the corner toward Pentire Head is the surfing paradise at Polzeath, and when the beach no longer calls, there’s a golf course nearby, several stately homes and gardens to visit. The fabulous Eden Project is just over twenty miles away.
