Padstow, nestling in the shelter of the Camel Estuary is one of the most delightful and least spoilt of Cornish fishing ports. Its narrow streets with stone and pastel washed medieval houses run down to a colourful bustling waterfront where you can watch the fascinating ebb and flow of ferries, fishing boats, yachts and pleasure cruisers. Around and about the harbour is an attractive selection of shops, a small museum, a cinema and a band stand for open air concerts in the summer.

Eating out in Padstow takes some beating, with it's 'foody' reputation. There is something to suit all, be it Rick Stein's famous Seafood Restaurant, Bistro, Cafe, Deli or Stein's own fish & chip restaurant (eat in or out), one of the other good eating houses like Bistro Margot's, or  the Italian "Rojano's", a good selection of  Cornish pubs and fish & chip bars comple the gourmet picture .

Padstow is surrounded by many glorious sandy bays washed by the Atlantic surf, with spectacular cliff top scenery for magnificent coastal walks. Add these ingrediants to your stay in School Cottage or Sunday Cottage, and you have an opportunity to enjoy a carefree and relaxing holiday in an atmosphere that is peaceful and unhurried.
