We had an amazing week! The property is in a great location, is very well equipped and was extremely comfortable. The hosts were very welcoming and we really enjoyed our stay. The sun trap in the garden is an added bonus!

Property is in a great location just a few minutes walk fro Padstow harbour. It had everything we needed and was very clean. It is very well insulated with virtually no noise from outside.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

We have just returned from a wonderful two week stay in Padstow. Hirst@no8 was an immaculately presented property with everything we needed for our stay. Anj and Stu were perfect hosts and it was lovely to meet them.

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.

Stylish and comfortable property. Very well equipped and all beautifully clean. Anj and Stuart very helpful and congenial hosts. Perfect base for exploring this part of Cornwall, and private parking a great bonus, though worth noting the walk into Padstow is quite steep.

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. I would recommend this property to anyone considering booking it.

The bungalow was immaculate, had everything we needed and more.
We felt really at home and enjoyed sitting in the beautiful garden. Anj and Stu were lovely, gave us lots of advice on where and where not to go, they also left us a lovely present on the kitchen table (thank you) 😊 It was a perfect base for us and we visited some amazing places.

We stayed a week and it was wonderful. Great location and Anj and Stu were so welcoming and helpful. It felt like home from home and everything was so well presented and immaculate. We were lucky with the weather so ended up mainly using it as a base but it would be cosy to stay in if we hadn’t been blessed but the weather. We have been coming to Cornwall for the last 15 years and would definitely book Hurst@no8 again. Thank you!

Exceptionally clean, well equipped, stylish bungalow a perfect base for exploring Cornwall. Hirst at no. 8 had all we needed - Anj has thought of everything! (Thank you for the milk, tea/coffee and biscuits on arrival). Lovely private patio with garden furniture at rear to chill out at the end of the day. Off road parking a bonus as only a short walk down to harbour (this is a real benefit in peak season!) - could not fault this place, exceeded expectations.
