A lovely Cornish fishing village, perfect for relaxing away from busy cities, biking, and dining at one of its great restaurants.

Padstow is a town on the north coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The town is situated on the west bank of the River Camel estuary. Traditionally a fishing port, Padstow is now a popular tourist destination. Although some of its former fishing fleet remains, it is mainly a yachting haven on a dramatic coastline with few easily navigable harbours. The influence of restaurateur Rick Stein can be seen in the port, and tourists travel from long distances to eat at his restaurant and cafés.

I had occasion to use your chat to amend my trip plan. Fortunately, I got connected with Robyn who was an absolute wonder. She was entirely accommodating and went way beyond what I expected to ensure that my trip was as good as can be. She is, in my experience, the best and most accommodating, helpful, cheerful, and all around pleasant customer service representative that I have ever encountered. The entire RoutePerfect team performed to perfection. All reservations were without issue, and a late change was accomplished without incident. I would recommend RoutePerfect to anyone planning to travel anywhere in the world.

What a great website you have! Your tech people are amazing. Before we went on our trip I recommended the site to several people for it’s ease of use. Now that we have actually done the traveling that we booked through your site, I can even more highly recommend the site. The travel was perfect and easy. We were mostly satisfied with the hotels and price was much less than we would have paid separately.
