Baxters Cottage

Baxters Cottage is a three-bedroom character property in Padstow town centre, 200 metres from the working harbour. It sleeps six across a king, a twin, and a bunk bedroom with 3-foot bunks - a layout that suits a family with children. A wood burner in the main sitting room and an enclosed rear decking area with garden furniture make the property functional across seasons. Private parking for 2 cars is included. Thomas hosts, and the property has 20 reviews at an overall 4.7 rating, with 4.9/5 for both cleanliness and location.

Padstow's main harbour, fish restaurants, and shops are a 3-minute walk. The Camel Trail cycling route begins at the harbour and follows the river south to Wadebridge (6 miles) and on to Bodmin (17 miles). Daymer Bay Beach is 2.6km by road, with its calm estuary-facing sand and National Trust access. Trevone Bay is 2.8km - a more open beach with a natural rock pool. Up to 2 dogs are welcome on site.

The enclosed rear decking is a practical outdoor space but not large - there is no lawn. The front of the property has a paved area. WiFi is available and a dishwasher is included. The washing machine is also on site. The bunk room makes this specifically well-suited to families with two children; the king rooms on the upper floors give parents their own space.

This property is best for a family who want to be in Padstow itself rather than driving in - the harbour, restaurants, and the Camel Trail are all within a short walk. Not great for guests expecting a large garden or a quiet rural setting. The central location means street noise is possible. Greenaway Beach is 3.2km if guests want an uncrowded option.
