Lovely comfortable holiday home in a great location

Fantastic bungalow in a great location. It is a real home from home holiday home and was so relaxing and comfortable to come back to after a busy day exploring the area. It is very well equipped and the owners have thought of everything. Having a parking space was a real bonus and it was great to be able to stroll the 8 minutes into Padstow harbour. Would definitely recommend Hirst @no 8.

Perfect accommodation in a great location

Hirst is a spotlessly clean, well equipped, comfortable property with a parking space in a quiet location in Padstow. We received a warm and friendly welcome from Anj and Stu who made sure that we had everything we needed and gave us recommendations for walks and beaches. We were super lucky with the weather and were able to appreciate the stunning coastline and beautiful beaches. All in all, a fabulous holiday.

A fantastic property

A really beautiful bungalow which met all of our needs for a family holiday. This is a great location as it is within easy walking distance of Padstow and also convenient for visiting other places in Cornwall. We are really struggling to find any fault whatsoever with the property and Anj and Stu were great. Would we recommend this property… yes definitely.

Best ever Cornwall stay!

Hirst @ No 8 was the perfect Cornwall stay. Immaculate, comfortable home from home (with a parking space) and easy within walking distance of Padstow. The perfect position to get to all the sights, with easy access to Port Isaac (Doc Martin), Newquay airport, Truro, and St Ives artists’ harbour village. Anj and Stu made us very welcome with many added extras, including flowers and Easter chocolate! As we live in Australia, a long journey, but well worth it!

Hirst no. 8, Padstow

We had a lovely time at Anj & Stu’s property. The house had everything we needed and more. Lots of extras such as tea, coffee, sugar, oil, foil. Also fresh milk & a chocolate snack were very welcomed after our long journey. I would highly recommend a stay at this property. We look forward to a return visit in the future.

Four senior Americans in Padstow!

8 Hirst was a wonderful location…not in the village, but close to it. The walk to town wasn’t too challenging for those in the party with hip and knee issues. If we werre tired, we took our rental car and parked in one of the parking lots. We loved the layout and found everything we really needed was there. Angela and Stuart were very hospitable and helpful. You won’t be sorry if you book this Vrbo.

October trip

My sister and I chaperoned our 80 year old Aunt to Cornwall. We stayed 4 nights at Hirst at No 8. It was perfect for us. Fully equipped Kitchen, lovely sitting room facing a fenced patio. En-suite for the master bedroom, we let our Aunt take that room. The apartment, or annex is bigger than it looks in pictures, all one level. I told Angela it’s the cleanest place I have ever stayed, it was spotless. Great base for us. Thank you Angela and Stuart!

What a lovely place to stay. Everything you could need in a lovely, comfortable apartment with friendly hosts right next door. Beautifully decorated spacious apartment with private outdoor place too. Close enough to walk to Padstow harbour if you dont mind a steep walk back! Close to a number of beautiful beaches and Seaside towns. Close to bus routes if you dong want to drive anywhere.

We had a wonderful stay at this property and we’re made to feel very welcome by the hosts who had taken time to introduce themselves and even left us some goodies for Easter! The property is in a good location, a short walk from the harbour and is newly renovated with all the creature comforts you could hope for.
