About Padstow

Rick Stein has changed this seaside town from a peaceful fishing village into a cosmopolitan foodie destination. What hasn’t changed is the perfect seaside setting just across the Camel Estuary from Rock with the rows of pretty pastel cottages and fishermen bringing in their nets. The hotels in Padstow reflect everything the town stands for, at once both as chic as anything you might find in London yet filled with plenty of Cornish charm.

A lot of people aspire to having a second home in Padstow - and some lucky people do. The West-London-on-Sea effect has made an impact and there are some excellent boutiques (both stores and hotels). Padstow is still affordable however and one of our recommendations for the best places to stay in Padstow starts from under £100 a night.

Padstow still has some of Cornwall's famous pasty shops and pubs of yore which guarantee visitors a different sort of culinary experience in this food-famous town. And snacks such as these make a great accompaniment when visiting some of the dozens of beaches nearby.

Our pick of the best places to stay in Padstow has something for all visitors, from those on a tight-budget to foodies - ensuring everyone can enjoy the delights this quaint village has to offer.
