The Harbour Loft

The Harbour Loft is a two-bedroom apartment for four in central Padstow, with a king-size room and a twin room each holding an en-suite bathroom - useful for two couples or a family wanting separate facilities. Skylights and apex windows bring extra light into the loft-style interior.

Estuary views and a private balcony are the standout features, though the outlook is across the estuary rather than out to sea. The balcony has seating for four. Parking, a dishwasher and a washer/dryer are included, but dogs are not accepted, so this suits guests without a pet. Restaurants, galleries and water-sports operators on the estuary are within walking distance.

Daymer Bay, a sheltered beach at the mouth of the Camel estuary with calm water for families, is 1.6 miles away. Trevone Bay is 1.7 miles away and Greenaway Beach, a quiet cove reached on foot from nearby car parks, is 2 miles from the apartment. Parking is included, which leaves a car free for day trips from central Padstow. Daymer Bay, Trevone Bay and Greenaway Beach are the three closest beaches, all within about 2 miles.

**Best for:** two couples or a family wanting two en-suite bathrooms, estuary views, a balcony and central Padstow on foot.

**Less good for:** guests needing a dog-friendly stay.
