The Old Police House ~ Apartment one ~ cosy & well-equipped in Padstow with parking

Welcome to APARTMENT ONE – The Old Police House in Padstow

(Please also see our other listing for ‘Apartment two’ which is our lovely one bedroomed ground floor apartment below)

We would describe our popular Apartments as 4 star Padstow accommodation. This interesting and much-loved property is centrally located in Old Town Padstow, originally it was the town’s Police House and has the tallest door in Padstow to accommodate the police hats worn in those days!

The Quay and centre of gorgeous Padstow town are on the doorstep, a level stroll away, but the house is perfectly positioned and a bit tucked back from the busy town streets. The building comprises of two apartments and each apartment has the fantastic advantage of adjoining parking for one vehicle (1 x space per apartment) in the shared car park alongside the house – which to anyone who knows how busy Padstow can get is a huge advantage!!

PLEASE SEE OUR BOOKING TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW.

Apartment one is our 2 bedroom first floor apartment, Pet friendly – for up to two small to medium dogs and children over 5 only. The apartment is lovely and comfortable, has lots of Cornish charm and character and is very well located. Our guests often say that they feel very at home here.

We take bookings for couples or a couple with up to two children (aged over 5 years old) in this apartment only. (Unfortunately, it is not suitable for babies and toddlers).

A lot of improvements have been made recently, including double glazing throughout, slate hung exterior wall, new carpets throughout and a lovely new bathroom. Look out for more improvements over the forthcoming years!

Access is through the front entrance. From the shared front hallway each apartment has its own private access.

Apartment One is located on the upstairs floor which has a carpeted, enclosed staircase up to it. Please note that there are also two low steps up to the front entrance.

From the hallway at the top, there is a good-sized Lounge/Diner which has two comfy twin sofas, with a Flat Screen Smart TV and DVD player. There is a round dining table with four chairs near the window.

The separate well-equipped Galley Kitchen has an electric 2-ringed induction hob, an electric oven with grill, and a microwave oven. There is also a fridge in the hallway, with a standard freezer compartment. This was the kitchen space for the resident policeman originally, so it is quite compact, but easy to manage.

Please do note: There is no dishwasher, washing machine or separate freezer within the property, although there is a nearby laundrette in Wadebridge.

Also from the hallway, there are two good-sized bedrooms:

Bedroom I has a very comfortable Double Bed, Double Wardrobe, full length Mirror and Chest of Drawers. This room faces the front of the house.

Bedroom 2 has lovely Twin Divan beds, which can be made into a Super-King, if requested beforehand, a good-sized wardrobe and chest of drawers. There is also a full-length mirror and wicker chair. This room faces the rear of the house.

We provide a hair dryer in each bedroom and lots of sockets for charging devices

Next to the twin bedroom is a separate, newly refurbished bathroom. This has a modern bath, with an electric shower above it. There is a heated towel rail, and an LED-lit mirror.

For heating, we have good storage heaters in the bedrooms and lounge. These can be controlled easily by our guests.
There is a panel heater outside the kitchen and a fan heater in the bathroom, plus some spare electric heaters available, should they be needed. A cooling fan is supplied, too, for hot, summer months!
The hot water is electrically heated throughout.

All linen and towels are supplied, but please bring your own beach towels, plus throws and towels to protect the furnishings if you have a dog accompanying you.

Free Wi-Fi throughout

Minimum booking is 3 nights, except for high season, when it is 4 nights or more. There is a reduction for a 7 night stay. Always ask if you require a 3 night stay in peak season, though – as we try to help.

Check in is after 4.30pm. Check out is 10.00am.

If you are staying for two weeks, a local cleaner can come in after the first week for an additional fee of £25

Please do note that there is an apartment below this one (Apartment 2) We have put new underlay in to keep noise to a minimum but, as in all old houses, it is impossible to completely mask, so please be considerate with loud music and heavy footfall, Thank you for your consideration.

The outside area downstairs is only for use of the ground floor apartment one.

Please use the Make an enquiry button above to send your booking request and I will respond to you as soon as possible.

ADDITIONAL BOOKING INFO
For insurance purposes, we will require a home address for the main booker, a contact number and the names of all guests over 16yrs, before entry codes are given, please.

Please do advise us of any issues with the apartment within 2 days of arrival, so that we can try and address these for the rest of your stay.

There is a damage deposit arrangement, which will only be used to cover anything we are definitely unable to clean, or repair, easily. Small damages will not be claimed for, of course. Please do let us know, though, so we can replace in time for our next booking. Thank you.

Whilst we normally request a Damage Deposit of £125, for short stays of 4 nights or less we will not collect the Deposit from your card but we will place a “hold” on that amount against your chosen card (as used to pay the other Booking fees) on the day before your arrival. The “hold’ will be released & will expire after seven days unless there are chargeable damages discovered on inspection of the property.

PETS: A maximum of two small to medium dogs are very welcome, although we do not accept dogs under 6 months old or any banned breeds. Please advise at the time of booking. We do not have a garden, but the Church Woods are only a short stroll up the lane for your dogs to enjoy morning and evening exercise. The town beaches are a longer walk in the other direction – about 15 to 20 mins. Most beaches and local pubs allow dogs. As mentioned above, please bring enough doggie throws and towels to protect the furnishings. Thank you x

PARKING INFO
Each apartment has the fantastic advantage of an allocated parking space right next to the house, in a small, shared car park. (Please note that, due to the width of the car park, vans or large SUV’s, over 4.5m long, will sadly not fit into our spaces. A family car or small SUV is fine. Please enquire if not sure. We cover parking expense for the duration of your stay, if an alternative is needed).

FIRE REGULATIONS: Our apologies but, due to new fire regulations, we are now unable to allow charging or storage of electric bikes, scooters, or vapes inside. No extension lead charging of the above /electric cars.

WE DO HAVE A FEW HOUSE RULES:

We will not tolerate excessive noise or disturbance, which may disturb guests in the other apartment, or our neighbours.

No smoking or use of drugs is allowed within the building at all.

No additional guests allowed to stay overnight, which will take us over our insured allocation of two guests downstairs and four guests upstairs, unless agreed by us at the time of booking.

Please park with consideration for the other car park users.

There is a key box at the property, full information will be given on booking confirmation.

We ask that dogs are not left alone in the apartment if they would be anxious in their new environment and bark/howl constantly, disturbing our neighbours, or causing damage.

(Unfortunately, your stay may be ended early if any of these conditions are considered by us to be intentionally broken. Thank you so very much for your cooperation in advance).
