Creekside Holidays

What a lovely place to spend a holiday! This is really a 4.5 star review but Google doesn't allow half stars. Close to Padstow and reasonably placed to allow a good exploration of all of Cornwall, this cottage is well equipped for your self-catering holiday and has an extremely comfortable master bed. It's within walking distance of Padstow but the Creekside walk takes in some hills and dirt tracks and it leaves you a bit sweaty and dusty/muddy on a hot day so we'd recommend trying a taxi company if you're planning on a drink and/or meal. Finding a taxi was also a challenge so we'd recommend "@taxis". The facilities of the cottage are very good. The decking area is perfect for sitting out for all purposes. There are two bathrooms both with shower facilities and one has a bath. The kitchen is well-stocked with equipment and even includes a knife sharpener! There's WiFi and Freesat TV plus a couple of fans for when the place gets too hot. There is a BBQ provided but we didn't try it so can't comment on that. Only downsides are the cooker, the electric hob struggled to heat a pan on any ring, so meals took way longer to make so we mostly just ate breakfast in the cottage - which is fine as it's a holiday. The boiler temperature could do with being turned down or mixer taps installed, as any hot tap running for more than 10 seconds became scalding. The standard of cleaning was good but not quite meticulous, by which I mean, it was very clean but certain items hadn't been checked between guests such as cooking items and glasses/ plates etc- which is mostly just bad etiquette from previous guests. Overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable stay and the owners have a place to be proud of.
