I would recommend this property. My husband, young daughter and I stayed for two nights and were made to feel at home from the beginning. The hosts were extremely welcoming and made sure had everything we needed. The house itself is spacious and only an 8 min walk to the harbour, which was prefect. The property was clean and had everything we could need. The outdoor space is lovely to sit out in the sun and the en-suite bathrooms was definitely a bonus. The price for what you get is very reasonable and the fact you have a parking space is a huge plus. We would love to return in the future. Thanks again.

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!

Wow, what can I say. Had the most amazing stay in the most amazing property. The hosts made sure we had everything we needed and made us feel so at home. The house itself was perfect and despite it being tucked away, was only a 5 minute walk into the heart of Padstow. Lots of little touches within the property that made our stay just right. There is also a gorgeous private patio for that well needed drink after a fun filled day. Highly recommended and can't wait to return.

We had a fabulous stay in Anj & Stu’s property it was very tidy and immaculately clean. There was everything you could possible need in the kitchen, they even supplied tea, coffee and milk as well as lovely chocolate biscuits which were very welcome after a long journey. The location was perfect with only a short walk into town which meant we could leave our car parked in the driveway for most of our stay. Anj & Stu were very helpful and friendly & we’d definitely stay again. We would highly recommend their property to anyone wishing to visit Padstow.

Alles war für unsere Ankunft liebevoll vorbereitet, die Betten waren bezogen, Handtücher bereitgestellt, im Kühlschrank stand Milch bereit, und für die Teatime gab es eine kleine Süßigkeit.Wir wurden sehr herzlich vom Anj empfangen!Von hier aus konnten wir alle Ausflugsziele wunderbar erreichen. Cornwall ist wunderschön.Empfehlung: Auf jeden Fall!Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Ideal holiday apartment.

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. Ideal place to stay!
