The perfect place to stay in Padstow! With convenient (paid) parking just across the street, we were able to enjoy walking through padstow before the crowds and the surrounding areas. Brilliant modern bathroom too.

We stayed in a lovely room above the pub overlooking the harbour. The room was spacious and we liked being right in the heart of the town. It can be noisy though with music from nearby pubs so expect that to go on until 11ish. The staff are all very helpful and the pub itself is lovely. Parking is tricky, we were lucky to find a spot nearby but we did have to pay.

Room was amazing (rm14) and we would request again. Housekeeping and reception staff were very pleasant and friendly. However the breakfast service could be improved as 4 guests were served before us on first day and we had to ask to be served. On our second day we weren’t even asked for our breakfast order.

Excellent stay at the Old Custom House over Easter weekend. We were able to get into our room early and were pleased with how nicely decorated and well equipped the room was. We also had a lovely view from the two windows over the very pretty harbour. The bed was very comfortable and although quite small, the room was full of character. Staff were friendly and welcoming at the hotel and the lady doing breakfast both mornings we were there was delightful. Breakfast was included in our room rate and was very good.
