This is the 6th time we have stayed at Althea House and everytime we cant wait to plan our next trip. Neil who runs this beautiful B&B in the old part of Padstow has got everything just right. The rooms are all large and have such comfortable beds and sofa's. There is such attention to detail in the little touches... More

I feel like we were really lucky with this place as we booked very late on a bank holiday weekend. We stayed in the self catering cottage/apartment and it was just perfect. It was very clean and all the furnishings were new. The kitchen had everything one would need to cook a nice meal - probably more than one would... More

Agree with all the other reviews, stayed here in April 2012 cannot rate highly enough! So much more than the usual B&B package, spotless, everything is top quality, great location & breakfast in your room is the icing on the cake. we'll be back very very soon! More

Having previously stayed at another B&B in Padstow which has now changed hands we were looking for somewhere of a similar 5 star ETB standard. What a find Althea House has proved to be. The first plus being that it has parking - a rare find in Padstow, and although we had read the positive reviews as it was our... More

Firstly, apologies for this very late review. Our last stay was Sept 2011. My Husband and I have stayed at Althea for two years now. We have been lucky enough to have 'Driftwood' on both occasions. It truly is a VERY special place. The rooms are simple, elegant and exceptionally clean. The breakfasts are, quite simply, the best we have... More

Simply one of life's 'finds'. Friendly, comfortable and very well appointed. We go back as often as we can. More

We stayed here last year in Driftwood and it was just lovely. The best bed and breakfast is the best I have ever been to. Delicious food, wonderfully clean, not even a hint of old fusty bed and breakfast. I can't fault it. We stayed when the weather wasn't great, and I was pregnant, so we made full use of... More

We stayed two nights at this wonderful B&B but would like to have stayed much longer. The room (Bracken) was lovely, with a comfortable bed, well appointed ensuite and a separate area where breakfast is served. Breakfast deserves a special mention as it is so nice to have it served in your room; no rushing to get ready to go... More

Stayed in the Bracken Room at Althea House for a long weekend break in Padstow and have to agree with all the wonderful reviews already written about this great B&B. The room was beautiful and Neil was a great host. Breakfasts are fantastic and it was nice to be able to have this served to you in your room. Would... More
