Review summary

Harbour Hotel Padstow is well-regarded for its beautiful decor following refurbishment and prime location, placing guests within easy walking distance of Padstow harbour and right next door to Rick Stein's restaurant, complete with private steps. Guests often enjoy the complimentary gin in their rooms and the exceptional breakfast room that boasts unrivalled views of the Camel Estuary; some guests, however, have found the continental breakfast option to be lacking. The hotel also features good-sized, modern rooms and a spacious garden, making it an excellent base for exploring the area.

i appreciated the well cooked breakfast which started each day. i ate at the hotel two nights enjoying the hake wrapped in prosciutto with tempura prawns. the sirloin was cooked perfectly to my taste on the third night. the staff was friendly and cute.
the gin bottle was too large for the gin provided.

Acceptable Stay

well presented room gin tonic harbor view over cooked chicken high parking fee customer fleecing
The room was well presented. I found the gin and tonic in the room a nice surprise. The breakfast was satisfying. It also had a nice view over the harbor.
I had an evening meal of breadcrumb coated and fried chicken it was very over cooked. It was almost burnt and hard to eat as it was dried to a cinder. The parking cost twelve pounds per night. I felt that the town in general seemed focused on fleecing customers.
