From the owner

This property is very centrally located in Old Town Padstow.

Originally, this was the Old Police House and has the tallest door in Padstow to accommodate the police hats worn in those days!

Pet friendly for up to two dogs - see below.

The building comprises of two apartments and are suited only to couples and families, due to the quiet position in the town.

The Quay and Padstow centre are on the doorstep, a level stroll away, but the house is perfectly positioned and a bit tucked back from the busy town streets.

Each apartment has the fantastic advantage of an adjacent allocated parking space, in a small, shared car park.

(PLEASE NOTE RE PARKING: Vans and very large MPV's (over 4.5m long) would not fit, due to the fact that access to other spaces beyond ours would be blocked, but we do offer a full refund of parking costs if this is the case.

We do not yet have facilities to charge EV's.)

We would describe the apartments as 4 star Padstow accommodation,

A lot of improvements have been made recently, including double glazing, a completely refurbished bathroom, a hung slate wall, and new carpets throughout.

Free WiFi provided.

PETS: A maximum of two sm/med dogs are very welcome. We do not accept any under 6 months or on the banned list. Please advise when booking.

We have no outside space as such, but Church Woods are a two minute walk away for dogs to enjoy. Most beaches and pubs locally are dog-friendly.

NEW: Following new fire regs, we can sadly no longer allow inside charging, or storage of, electric bikes, scooters and vapes. No extension lead EV charging, either. Very sorry about this.

APARTMENT 1 - TWO BEDROOMS

(See our separate listing for 'The Old Police House - Apartment 2' ref 457639, which is the ground floor one bedroomed apartment).

Initial access is into a large communal hallway. From the hallway each apartment has its own private access.

Apartment 1 is located up a short, but quite narrow, flight of stairs.

* Do note that this is an open staircase and it is tricky to child-proof an old house, so we suggest suitability is for children of aged 5 upwards only.

The staircase may also not suit those with limited mobility, as it is the main exit point if there is an emergency. Please do ask if you have any concerns.

This apartment is comfortable, has character and is very well located.

There are two good sized bedrooms, one with a Double Bed and one Twin Room. This can be made into a Superking if requested.

A hairdryer and iron are provided.

The Lounge/Diner has two twin sofas, a Flat Screen Smart TV with DVD Player, plus a Small Dining table, and comfortably seats a family of four.

The Galley Kitchen has a two ringed induction hob, an electric oven with grill and a microwave oven. The standard sized fridge (with freezer compartment) is located within the property, but just outside of the kitchen.

Although small and compact, this galley kitchen does have sufficient storage and is fully equipped.

Please do note: There is no dishwasher, washing machine or freezer within the property, although there is a nearby launderette in either St Columb or Wadebridge.

The new, luxury family bathroom has a bath with a modern electric shower over. There is a heated towel rail, mirror with LED lighting/shaver point and a wall fan heater, if chilly.

There are Night Storage Heaters in both bedrooms and also in the lounge. Extra Electric Heaters are available in the property, and cooling fans are provided for those hot, summer months!

All bedding and towels are supplied, but please bring beach towels with you.

Also, please bring Bedding, Throws and Towels for any dogs coming along with you.

A teatowel will be provided for you.

There is a Wi Fi router in the hallway for both apartments to share freely.

Changeover day is normally Saturday at busy times. The owner may be able to be flexible on this in low season.

Check in is 5pm. Check out strictly10.00 am, please.

Short breaks may be available, but with minimum stay is 3 nights. Please do ask.

A local cleaner can visit during a two week stay for a charge of £25

The house is in a quiet road, but very central - just a short, flat stroll to the harbour - so there will be some passing traffic and pedestrians.

We have no outside space as such, but the town beaches and woods are very close.

Important - As this is a lovely old house, separated into two apartments, we do ask that both sets of guests respect the peace and privacy of the other. Any late night disturbance or loud music will not be acceptable.

We will require a home address for the main booker, a contact number and the names of all guests over 16yrs before entry codes are given, please.

There is a damage deposit arrangement and we will not tolerate deliberate damage to the property. Small breakages will not be charged for, but please do let us know so they can be replaced for our next guests.

The family have owned the property for many years and so hope you will love it as much as we do x
