Padstow Guide
Padstow's cottages with hot tubs offer a perfect Cornish escape. This fishing port on the north Cornwall coast combines seafood restaurants with sandy beaches and coastal walks. Most properties are within walking distance of the harbour, where you can watch fishing boats bring in the day's catch.
The area boasts seven beaches within a 5-minute drive. Padstow's top TripAdvisor attractions include the Camel Trail (4.5/5), Prideaux Place (4.5/5) and the National Lobster Hatchery (4/5). Many cottages are dog-friendly with enclosed gardens - ideal for bringing your dog to the many pet-welcoming beaches.
Chef Rick Stein put Padstow on the culinary map with his seafood restaurant opening in 1975, transforming this working port into a foodie destination. Some locals jokingly call it "Padstein" due to his influence on the town.
Accommodation ranges from traditional fishermen's cottages with exposed beams to modern barn conversions. Most hot tub cottages sleep 2-8 people, with larger properties available for groups. Many feature wood-burning stoves for winter breaks when the hot tub experience is even better.

Sightseeing
Padstow sits in a stunning spot on the Camel Estuary with loads to see nearby. The town itself has a working harbour where you can watch fishing boats come and go throughout the day. It's small enough to explore on foot, with narrow streets lined with independent shops and galleries.
Don't miss Prideaux Place (PL28 8RP), an Elizabethan manor house with gardens overlooking the town. Open April-October, Tuesday-Thursday, 10:30am-4:30pm. TripAdvisor score: 4.5/5. The house has been in the same family for over 400 years and features in several Rosamunde Pilcher novels adapted for German TV.
The Camel Trail is brilliant for cycling - it's an 18-mile flat path following an old railway line from Padstow to Bodmin. Bike hire shops are located at the trail start (PL28 8BL). TripAdvisor score: 4.5/5. I recommend starting early in summer as it gets busy.
The National Lobster Hatchery (PL28 8BL) is fascinating for all ages. Open daily 10am-4pm. TripAdvisor score: 4/5. You can see baby lobsters being raised before release into the wild. They've released over 300,000 lobsters back into Cornish waters.
Pet Friendly
Padstow is brilliant for dogs, with many beaches allowing them year-round. Harlyn Bay (PL28 8SB) is dog-friendly all year and has a wide sandy beach with gentle waves. Constantine Bay and Trevone Bay allow dogs except May-September between 10am-6pm.
The Camel Trail welcomes dogs and provides a traffic-free walking route. Many cafés in Padstow have water bowls outside - Cherry Trees Coffee House (PL28 8AT) even offers dog treats. The Shipwrights pub (PL28 8AF) allows dogs inside and has a beer garden overlooking the harbour.
Most cottages with hot tubs in Padstow have enclosed gardens, but always check the specific property details. We suggest bringing towels specifically for your dog as the beaches can be sandy. The Padstow Veterinary Surgery (PL28 8EE) is available for emergencies.
After a long beach walk, you can relax in your hot tub while your dog dries off in the garden - perfect!
Top 3 attractions you have to see in Padstow
1. Padstow Harbour (PL28 8AF) is the heart of the town and buzzes with activity. Watch fishermen unload their catch, take a speedboat ride, or simply sit with fish and chips watching the world go by. The harbour walls provide shelter for swimming when the tide is high. It's particularly lovely at sunset when most day visitors have left.
2. The Seven Bays. Padstow sits near seven spectacular beaches, each with its own character. Trevone has rock pools and a natural swimming pool. Harlyn is great for surfing lessons. Treyarnon has natural swimming pools in the rocks. Constantine Bay offers excellent surfing for experienced surfers. All are within a 10-minute drive of Padstow (PL28 8JQ) and have parking (£4-5 per day).
3. Stepper Point (PL28 8SE) offers incredible coastal views. This headland walk from Padstow takes about an hour each way along the South West Coast Path. You'll see the daymark tower (a navigation aid built in 1830) and stunning views across the Camel Estuary. The clifftop wildflowers in spring are amazing. Take binoculars as you might spot seals, dolphins and seabirds.
Is Padstow good for families?
Yes! Kids love crabbing off the harbour wall (buy equipment from the harbour shops) and there are sandy beaches nearby. The Camel Trail is perfect for family cycling and Crealy Adventure Park is a 30-minute drive away. Many cottages with hot tubs have family-friendly features like games rooms.
When is the best time to visit Padstow?
May and September offer warm weather without the summer crowds. The Padstow Christmas Festival (early December) transforms the town with food stalls and lights. Winter visits mean empty beaches and cosy pubs with fires - plus your hot tub feels even better when it's chilly outside!
Do I need a car in Padstow?
While not essential, a car helps explore the surrounding beaches and countryside. The town itself is walkable and buses run to Newquay and Wadebridge. Taxis are available but can be scarce in peak season.
Where can I park in Padstow?
The main car park is at the harbour (PL28 8BL), but it fills quickly in summer. Link Road car park (PL28 8HA) is larger and a 5-minute walk from the centre. Most cottages provide parking, but always check as some in the town centre don't have spaces.
Which restaurants should I book in advance?
Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant (PL28 8BY) and Paul Ainsworth at No. 6 (PL28 8AP) need booking months ahead in peak season. Prawn on the Lawn (PL28 8BL) and Barnaby's (PL28 8AP) are also popular. Even casual places get busy in summer, so book ahead where possible.
Can I bring my hot tub cottage booking forward if I see a weather forecast?
Most cottage companies require full payment 8-10 weeks before arrival and have strict cancellation policies. Some offer flexible booking options for an additional fee. Always check the booking conditions or consider travel insurance that covers cancellation.
