Guests say
Stones Throw in Padstow is a beautifully presented cottage in a prime, peaceful location just minutes from the harbour and local shops. Guests consistently praise its spaciousness, stylish decor, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. The property is ideal for families and groups, with excellent access to local attractions and walks. While most found the property clean and inviting, a minority noted some cleaning issues. Parking can be challenging, and there are minor suggestions for additional kitchen items and lighter bedding. Overall, guests enjoyed their stay and would happily return.
Most guests found the property clean, especially the sheets, towels, and bathrooms. However, one review mentioned grimy handrails and floors, which was partially addressed after a re-clean. The majority of feedback is positive, but the isolated negative experience lowers the score.
The location is universally praised as excellent, being central yet peaceful, with easy access to Padstow's harbour, shops, and attractions. The only minor drawback mentioned is the lack of on-site parking, but this did not detract significantly from guests' enjoyment.
Guests describe the cottage as very comfortable, with spacious accommodation and cosy beds. Some suggested a lighter duvet for summer and noted the low ceiling in one bedroom, but overall comfort is highly rated.
The cottage is well-equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, and a fully stocked kitchen. Minor suggestions include a few extra utensils, a drying rack, and attention to a kitchen drainer. Facilities are otherwise praised for convenience and quality.
There are no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

Heather
This is such a gorgeous cottage, very stylish and homely, with a great fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and power showers , and looks even better in real life than the photos. We loved being literally right in the centre of old Padstow only a couple of minutes walk to the marina. Katie our host couldnt have been more helpful and responsive about restaurant recommendations and also letting me know that we had , unbeknown to us , chosen to arrive on May Day , when Padstow closes many of the roads because of celebrations! She was very helpful with alternative parking suggestions. We would very happily stay here again .
