Really nice hotel, very professionally run, room well proportioned - we stayed in 7 which is larger than others. Very nicely furnished. Decent breakfast with a few options cooked plus cereals and fruit juices too. Nice beers on tap in bar plus extra seating outside. Located right in centre just set back from the harbour and main street. Didn't eat there but food looked great.

Popped in to this dog friendly pub for early dinner and we had the specials, the Chicken and Grilled Soul and prawns. Both were fantastic, full of flavour, recommended

We popped in for breakfasts which are fantastic! Great portion size and all fresh, tasty products. Very clean and the fresh flowers dotted around were a lovely touch. Will definitely return next time we are in Padstow.
