The Pickwick Inn

The Pickwick Inn is a country hotel set in the parish of St Issey, a few miles inland from Padstow. Rooms are dog-friendly and the hotel has a swimming pool, Wi-Fi throughout, and parking. Views from the property stretch out over the Camel Estuary.

Oliver’s restaurant serves meals made from local produce and opens for Sunday lunch. The bar provides a relaxed alternative for lighter meals or drinks after a day out. The hotel features in Padstow’s own location page as a recommended eating and drinking option alongside the harbour pubs.

Trevone Bay - a sandy north coast bay with a natural blowhole and summer lifeguards - is about 3 miles from the hotel. Daymer Bay is a similar distance. Padstow itself, with Rick Stein’s restaurants and Paul Ainsworth’s Michelin-starred No. 6, is a short drive along the estuary road. The Camel Trail cycle path runs 18 miles from Padstow to Bodmin and is accessible from the town.

**Best for:** Couples or dog owners wanting a comfortable country base close to Padstow’s restaurants; guests who prefer hotel facilities over self-catering.

**Less good for:** Families wanting a beach-front location or those hoping to walk directly to the sea - the nearest beaches require a short drive.
