This property is 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 note below.
The Quay and centre of town are on the doorstep, a level stroll away, but the house is perfectly positioned and a bit tucked back from the busy town streets.
The building comprises of two apartments and each apartment has the fantastic advantage of adjoining parking for one vehicle in the shared car park alongside the house.
PLEASE NOTE RE PARKING: Vans and very large MPV's would not fit in to our spaces as their length (more than 4.5m) would block access to other spaces further up, but we are happy to offer a full refund of parking costs if this is the case. The Quay car parks are a few minutes flat walk away and offer come and go long-stay tickets.
A standard family car, smaller MPV or standard estate car would be fine.
PETS: A maximum of two small to medium dogs are very welcome, although we do not accept dogs under 6 months old or any banned breeds. Please advise at the time of booking. We do not have any garden, but the Church Woods are only a short stroll up the lane for your dogs to enjoy morning and evening exercise, The town beaches are a longer walk in the other direction - about 15 to 20 mins. Most beaches and local pubs allow dogs.
Free Wi-Fi throughout
NEW ADDITION: Our apologies but, due to new fire regulations, we are now unable to allow charging or storage of electric bikes, scooters, or vapes inside. No extension lead charging of the above /electric cars.

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