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.

Planning was fun and your crew was really helpful. I had a problem with the website accepting my credit card, and I panicked because my first choice for a Berlin hotel was unavailable when I re-entered my info. I found out it had gone through and I had paid twice. The support team was very quick to get my refund. The accommodations were good. I was satisfied with RoutePerfect and have already recommended it to friends!

We had a great holiday and congratulate you on the way in which you organised this holiday for us. The vast majority of hotels were absolutely excellent. We would certainly use your service again and will be happy to recommend you without reservations. We are hoping to book another holiday with you later in the year.
