Lobster Pot Cottage is a delightful newly built, ‘fisherman’s style’ cottage with a parking space in an enviable position right in the heart of the popular harbour town of Padstow and just 175 yards from the quayside. The cottage has been built partly of Delabole slate, and has lots of character with huge oak beams, floors of oak and old flagstones and oak doors.
The historic town of Padstow has evolved around the busy quayside and harbour and is very picturesque with its narrow little streets, littered with restaurants, cafes, tiny fisherman's cottages and interesting shops.
Much of the locally caught seafood and fish are sent to fish markets all over the country, but there is still plenty available for locals and visitors to enjoy either at home for a special supper or in one of the many seafood restaurants in the town. You will be spoilt for choice with a fantastic selection of restaurants and pubs to sample and the quality is exceptionally high with Padstow being home to the world-renowned Rick Stein's seafood school and restaurants. Jamie Oliver's restaurant 'Fifteen' is also within easy reach at Watergate bay.
The town is surrounded by hidden coves, rugged cliffs and beautiful sandy beaches, such as Constantine, Porthcothan, Treyaron, Harlyn, Trevone and Watergate bay.
There is plenty to keep visitors amused, whether it is cycling the Camel trail, walking along the coastal path, visiting National Trust houses and gardens, surfing, taking a boat trip from Padstow across to Rock or just wandering around the shops and watching the local fisherman offloading their daily catches. For those wanting to travel a little further afield, the Eden project is only a half hour drive and there is a championship golf course at Trevose.
