Guests also appreciate the helpful and friendly staff who go above and beyond to ensure smooth check-ins. People consistently describe the accommodation as spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and providing a comfortable home away from home.

Great stay again in Padstow through Harbour Holidays. We have been using them for the last 11 years and booked Maypole Cottage again already for 2027. Really professional, friendly and helpful staff. Easy booking process and the location is second to none. Here is a big shout out for Lesley and her team of cleaners, who make such a brilliant job year upon year, so a big thank you Lesley. Can’t wait to see you all again next year

Another wonderful stay at a Harbour Holidays property- 5 Trevibban Barton Barns, beautiful area (vineyard and wine bar just round the corner) and fab facilities in the barn with a lovely welcome pack of scones, jam and cream on arrival. Perfectly located with multiple beaches and Padstow, Camel Creek etc. just a short drive away. The Harbour Holidays team were helpful as always, we will be booking again. Thank you

Stayed in ‘The Pilchards’ in Padstow through Harbour Holidays
Booking was easy and painless and the detail sent closer to the date was almost app like which gave a lot of relevant detail that was a help overall

The house itself although quite small for 4 people was perfectly fine for a 2 week stay and was extremely clean and well presented with everything that you would need.

House cleaner was also readily available for any need that needed attendance

Overall a great experience with both the operator and a great little house

Have used Harbour holidays on several previous occasions and cannot fault them or the properties that I have rented through them

Fantastic stay in Mevagh

Fantastic stay in Mevagh, Padstow

Was impressed with how the HH team telephoned to say the cottage was ready ahead of the 4pm check-in time, so we could unload our bags & start the holiday properly! Very thoughtful. Will book with them again

My family of 7 (adults) stayed at the fabulous Boslowen in Trevone. The accommodation was absolutely perfect with plenty of space for everyone to spill out and not be on top of each other. My autistic daughter loved having the separate Boffy, so she could spend most of the time with the family in the main house and then retreat to the Boffy when she needed her own space. The outdoor space was absolutely amazing. We enjoyed our meals and played lots of family games under the covered dining area and our dogs simply loved the garden, especially lying in the shade of the apple tree! The indoor spaces were amazing. The accommodation was beautiful and so well equipped for every possible need. Due to the fabulous weather we had for the full fortnight, we didn't really get a chance to spend much time enjoying the inside of the house, other than for cooking and sleeping - so we'll just need to return in the cooler weather to enjoy the gorgeous living space and snug rooms :)
The beds were all super comfortable too.
Harbour Holidays were fabulous throughout also. I really loved the new customer holiday app with all the information about the accommodation and local area.

We had a great week staying at 4 Dennis Cove. Everything was clean and there was lots of space. I made the mistake of assuming the garage was available for the storage of bikes, but there was some space inside and in the garden so we managed. Showers/bath were great, as was the kitchen, beds, and seating. The only thing we didn’t see was an outside tap for washing wet suits, but we would definitely consider staying there again. Overall, a great place to stay.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the cottage on 35 Duke Street. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The location is outstanding—right in the heart of the town, making it easy to explore everything on foot.

The cottage was comfortable, beautifully maintained, and spotlessly clean, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

It was a truly memorable holiday, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. A big thank you to Harbor Holidays for such a fantastic experience. We will definitely be back… hopefully very soon!

1 Rock Cottages

1 Rock Cottages - Little Petherick

Just returned from another wonderful week at 1 Rock Cottages booked through Harbour Holidays. We’ve been using them for years to visit Padstow and the surrounding area. We’ve been coming to this gem of a property for several years and it is a wonderful home away from home for us and our dog. Comfortable, clean, peaceful and beautifully presented. Everything you’d want in a holiday cottage. Great welcome package - so thoughtful. Harbour Holidays are exceptional. Excellent to deal with, clear and efficient communication and always available if needed whilst you are there. We wouldn’t use anyone else to book our Cornwall holiday. Thank you for another wonderful week. See you next year!

We have just returned from a fantastic week at Bumblebee cottage. The cottage is lovely, the beds are super comfortable, really great, secure outside space for the dogs. We discovered that the oven wasn’t working on the Sunday but Clare at Harbour Holidays had it fixed for us by Monday lunchtime. We really couldn’t have asked for it doing any faster!
My only winge is there was no welcome pack, which is a very small thing but I do get childishly excited about it 🙄.
We’re now counting down the days until we’re back in September 😀

Harbour Holidays are excellent

Harbour Holidays are excellent. We have used the same location in Padstow for the last seven years and we have never been disappointed. The staff are very accommodating, friendly and maintain a reliably high standard. Padstow is an excellent base for exploring Cornwall, with easy access to brilliant beaches and superb restaurants and cafes. The local people are warm, friendly and welcoming.
