Tucked away on a quiet street in Padstow’s historic old town, this 18th-century Georgian townhouse has been transformed into one of Cornwall’s most indulgent places to stay. Six individually styled suites by Emma Ainsworth, each dazzling with rich fabrics, bespoke furniture and witty foodie touches — bedside tables made from flour bins, candy-striped wallpaper, gold clawfoot baths. Breakfast arrives as a hamper delivered to your room. A kitchen pantry with honesty bar and homemade treats is yours to use throughout your stay. And Paul Ainsworth at No.6 — his Michelin-starred restaurant — is just around the corner. Rated 9.7 on Booking.com. One of the best small hotels in Cornwall.
