StayScore Analysis
Why this hotel scores 85/100
Old Custom House, Padstow is best suited to travellers who want an authentic harbour‑front stay with immediate access to Padstow’s seafood restaurants, shops and boat trips. Housed in a traditional pub run by St Austell Brewery with 23 rooms overlooking the working harbour, it appeals most to couples and food‑minded short‑breakers who value character, local atmosphere and unbeatable proximity to the water. The hotel works well as a compact base for exploring Padstow and the Camel Estuary rather than for a tranquil countryside escape.
