We have stayed before, and can't wait to go again. The apartment is delightful, clean, welcoming, Superbly well equipped. It's so close to the harbour yet peaceful. I have told all my friends and colleagues about it. I wouldn't stay any where else in Cornwall. Thank you Sally. X

Excellent location in the heart of Padstow Old Town, 1 minute from the shops, 2 minutes from the harbour. Central location yet quiet.
The 2 bed upstairs apartment was very clean and well presented. Bathroom a little dated and kitchen very small. Full sized Fridge on landing as no room in kitchen. However, you always appreciate a full sized fridge.
Padstow has plenty of food outlets; Pucelli's Restaurant a must. Non are cheep but you don't have to paly the earth every day. Pub food and hospitality fantastic. You must visit the Golden Lion.
Great walks and fantastic beaches ideal for dog owner or just dog lovers.
Recommend Padstow to everyone.

Although the house has been in the family for very many years, it was in quite a poor state when my sister and I took it on two years ago. Since then we have been striving to improve the property as and when we can and did loads last year. We hope to do more this winter and appreciate you honest comments here as it gives us guidance as to which areas to address next. Sadly, we cannot find a way to extend the kitchen without a full loft conversion, which is just a dream at the moment! Hopefully, one day...
I aim to be realistic with our pricing as we do realise we are not 5 star Padstow, but we make it as clean, well furnished and comfortable as possible and, as you say, we probably have the best position in the town!
We hope you will return one day and see more improvements each time.
Thank you again for staying with us.

Great location for the shops, harbour and beach. Nice and clean and well furnished with everything needed for a great break. Very good communication from owners. Parked car up and did not need to use again until leaving. Can walk to beach, harbour, shops, cafe's pubs and even Tesco. Found a nice little farm shop about a twenty minute walk away. Must try chicken pasties from Choughs, fish and chips from Chips Ahoy and all pubs are lovely with good food. Brilliant time in a little retreat with family and will be coming back. Thankyou.

My husband and I (with our dog!) stayed in apartment 1 and our close friends (with their dog) stayed in apartment 2 for new year 2014/2015 and what a fab time we all had! A fantastic location-literally a minutes walk to the harbour and all its activity! Considering Sally welcomes dogs Into both apartments, they are so clean and tidy and we couldn't ask for anything else...I read a couple of comments about the kitchen in apartment 1 being 'compact' but we thought it was cute, and very cleverly equipped...anyway, who spends time cooking everyday whilst on holiday In padstow??? The parking spaces are a god-send too...parking is at such a premium in the town so this is a great asset....and particularly for us, we were able to carry our bags in through the side gate/enclosed courtyard to the car park..and the doggies were able to have a secure 'sniff about' late at night/early in the morning...thankyou Sally for a terrific time and for being so easily contactable (not that we needed to-everything was as it was supposed to be) Louisa and David xx

Me and my partner have just returned from a long weekend in padstow with our small dog.
The Old Police House was the perfect location for a nice easy weekend with the dog, the house is a few minutes walk from the town which is perfect when popping back and forth with Christmas gifts!
The house is warm and cozy and is more than big enough for the two of us and the dog.
We had such a great time and would definately visit again, however if it's just us two again we may book the downstairs apartment so we can let the dog out easily in the morning.
However it really wasn't a problem and the roads were so clear and quiet it wasn't hard to pop out in the morning and let him have a wander
