Joy House

A 3-bedroom house in central Padstow sleeping 6, with 2 king-size rooms and a twin. The raised sundeck overlooks the town and estuary. Daymer Bay Beach is 1.6 miles and St George’s Cove is 1 mile away on foot.

The Camel Trail is accessible for cycling toward Wadebridge or Bodmin, and the town’s well-known restaurants and harbour are within walking distance. Newquay is 14.5 miles away.

Open the front door to this handsome holiday home and make your way through to the impressive lounge/kitchen/diner, with underfloor heating, a light-filled, orangery-style dining space and French doors on to the sundeck. Prepare tasty meals in here with local produce to enjoy at the table or up at the breakfast bar. Gather afterwards on the soft seating to watch a film on the Smart TV, play games or plan the following day’s activities. Also at ground-floor level, are a family shower room and a twin bedroom. Head up to the first floor to find the family bathroom and two king-size bedrooms, one with views over towards the estuary.

Fire up the BBQ out on the spacious sun deck on fine evenings. Relax out here too at other times with a drink, looking out over the rooftops towards the water.

Nearby: Daymer Bay Beach (1.6 miles) and Trevone Bay (1.7 miles). See our Padstow guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for families or groups wanting a central Padstow base within walking distance of the harbour and restaurants, with a ground-floor twin bedroom for anyone who prefers not to use stairs. Less good for guests needing wifi, since none is provided, or travelling with a dog.
