  Both pros and cons to this cottage! One of the twin mattresses was awful and needs replacing immediately, it creaks and groans and you can feel every spring. It was really uncomfortable & noisy! Under the twin beds hadn’t been dusted or mopped. Pans are no longer non stick & should be replaced. Bed runners (twin) were dirty and hadn’t been cleaned between guests. Pills (twin) are flat & need replacing. Double bed was too short for a man of 6’ 2”. However, the cottage is excellently located, a 16-minute walk to Padstow town centre. It was very convenient to have parking spaces as parking in Padstow itself looks a nightmare. We had a delivery from Sainsbury but there is a Tesco up the road. Hob is induction which is far better than the electric you find in most holiday cottages! Plenty of plates & glasses etc although we had to wash them on arrival. Lots to do in Padstow, it’s a really good location for a couples or family holiday. We also did a 5km walk from the town, and walked to St George’s Cove, from the cottage. Just be warned, if you have a child, every stair & upstairs floorboard creaks; it was impossible to ‘creep’ out having got my daughter to sleep without waking her. There is a downstairs single but it’s right next to the lounge area so not great for noise, plus from a safety perspective I don’t like having a child downstairs with adults upstairs. All in all, a decent stay, but could have been so much better with a few small tweaks and a bit more care, especially considering what it cost.

  Hole heartedly recommend this property. Bright and airy with everything you need. We loved the separation of bedrooms (due to snoring) and the under floor heating. This was enough in January and despite taking logs we didn’t have to have a fire, admittedly I was disappointed about this. Something about men and starting a fire!! Dishwasher, cooker and washing machine all used without a hitch. Said to my partner and Cornish friends that stayed as well. I want to live here. Even Daisy the golden retriever was so relaxed and chilled out. The Cove inn great Friday night with the Cadgwith singers and brilliant food. Easy access onto the coastal path for good walking. Booking again for later in the year. Contact with the owner was easy and staying an extra night was simple and straightforward.. We stay a lot in Cornwall and have done over the past few years.This rates in my top 3 of self catering properties place to stay at.

  The property had a terrible smell of wee coming from the downstairs bedroom which wafted into the lounge. I slept in that bedroom and it was horrible. It was clearly a child’s room with a very basic mattress but not described as one when booking. The sofas were also very uncomfortable and offered no support at all as they just collapsed when you sat on them. My back was constantly hurting. Lovely kitchen area and the rest of the house was ok except for the cleanliness which lacked a lot. Investing in decent mattresses with protective covers and proper sofas would make all the difference. My Mom who is 89 was going to use that downstairs bedroom and I had to help her upstairs every night proved a big problem for us. I would book again but next time would ask more questions about the property before I booked online!

  Had a wonderful stay at Little Seaward. Beautiful setting and a very generous welcome pack of goodies from the owners who were situated next door at Home Farm. Plentiful hot water and a surprise extra fridge/freezer in the nearby outhouse where a washing machine and dryer were also situated. Mobile signal not great but managed via WhatsApp. The TV had Netflix and Amazon plus the usual smart apps. Parking easy and safe enclosed garden for our flatcoat retriever. Boscastle itself was beautiful and the Farm Shop nearby, owned by the farmer well worth a visit. We frequented Peckish Fish and Chips at Camelford which we would recommend also the vets at Camelford where we had to take our dog for an ear infection brought on by too much water! Thank you Robin and Jackie for a wonderful stay.
