If you're looking for perfection and a little touch of luxury in a very relaxed atmosphere in Padstow and great value for money, then go no further than Coswarth House. Mike and Mary are very welcoming hosts from the start to the finish of your stay. They have paid great attention to the finer detail from the welcoming pot of tea/cakes, tastefully decorated bedrooms/bathrooms and their very lovely breakfast menu. All in all a very highly recommended experience - we would have no hesitation in staying here again in the future - my advice would be to book early - move over Rick.

We have just arrived home after a delightful stay 5 night at Coswarth House.
I can only echo all of the previous reviews. Mike and Mary have tried hard to think of everything that might be needed when you are away from home.
They are both really friendly and welcoming. We were given tea and cakes in our room when we arrived. Which was lovely after a long journey.
The house has been beautifully renovated to a very high standard. Everything is spotlessly clean. Lovely bed linen, fluffy thick towels, dressing gowns, hairdryer, iron, sewing kit and even a torch. Little treats left in your room, like wine for your arrival, cakes and pieces of fudge every afternoon. We even got a little bag of Easter eggs on Easter Sunday!
There is tea, coffee, chocolate etc plus fresh milk and water in the fridge.
The choice for breakfast is excellent, and was expertly prepared by Mike and served in our room every day by Mary. She always had time for a chat about our plans for the day, and offered suggestions to avoid the bad weather.
There are plenty of maps and leaflets left in the room, and a folder with local restaurant recommendations.
Padstow is a pretty place, with some nice walks along the coast. It has plenty of good quality restaurants and shops. The rest of the county is easily reachable from there.
All in all we had a lovely time despite horrible weather.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Coswarth House to anyone.

You run out of superlatives for this place. What makes it so special are the little touches. So for example, I really enjoyed one of the breakfasts and quite unasked for, the recipe was written out for me. That's very unusual service. Both the room we stayed in (Estuary) and the bath are wonderful for views, the bed is comfy and the atmosphere warm. Nothing seems too much trouble for Mary or Mike and the additional touches - cakes and wine in the room made it very memorable.

We stayed at Coswarth House for two nights in September 2007 and came away super impressed. All the basics are done exceptionally well, but it is the attention to detail which is a lesson to every other B&B in the land. For example, our room had a local OS map to borrow; when we bought a bottle of champagne and put it in the mini-bar, as if by magic champagne glasses appeared in the room; and, each day the most delicious home made cakes and fudge were waiting in the room for us. Truely superb.
