Lovely break
We had an amazing time in Padstow and this is a great hotel. The walk into Padstow is more of a light hike, so take appropriate footwear/clothing but it's worth doing - especially if you live in the city and fancy some fresh air and wide open space! The breakfast is incredible (fresh, warm muffins every breakfast, amazing), staff are lovely and it was great value for money. Our only tiny gripe is that we booked a twin and were given a double; the bed was massive so it wasn't an issue for us, but it might be for other people.

Relaxing weekend.
We had a weekend away in Cornwall to relax and visit relations. This is a lovely B&B in a beautiful area. The breakfast was excellent; well cooked, plentiful and well served.

when a private bathroom isn't an ensuite
disappointed that we had to walk down a hallway to our bathroom. yes it was private but other guests were next door to it so you had to robe up to go. 40 stairs to the bedroom was also unexpected. i did not like the attitude of the man who showed us to our room & felt like he trivialised our complaints. it was a lovely old building but wouldn't go back. the address given was very vague & for overseas guests a nightmare to find

Lovely quiet stay in luxurious period surroundings
The staff were very attentive. Everyone made us feel welcome. One young girl serving at breakfast was brilliant, super efficient & nothing was too much trouble. Room was super, as was the comfort of the bed. Am looking forward to our next visit!

Excellent stay!
My boyfriend and I stayed for 2 nights at Molesworth Manor. It was a beautiful place to stay, in a great location. The staff were excellent and very accommodating, they were very friendly and really went the extra mile if you needed anything.

Lovely Old Rectory With Character and History
Stayed here for 5 nights. Late arrival due to car problems, we were offered a late breakfast if we wanted to sleep in, how thoughtful. Property a beautiful old former rectory with 11 rooms & 2 large guest sitting rooms. Room was large,clean and comfortable. Breakfast offered a wide selection of cereals, fruit, yogurt & toast tea and coffee plus a full hot breakfast and a daily special. The food was beautifully prepared and the service quick and friendly. This is a delightful place to stay and I recommend it without reservation. Hopefully we shall be back again.

Really lovely b and b.
Stayed here as a treat for my husband's big birthday; wanted something a little more special than the average b+b. Really pleased with my choice. We stayed in the round room. It was spacious, airy and most importantly clean. The shower was great and the bed comfy. Take a hairdryer as I did not notice one in our room. We had use of 2 living room areas and they were well decorated and kept a sense of character in this lovely old building. We received a warm welcome and were given tea in the garden which was lovely. Lovely breakfast with good service. Would definitely go back.

I spent a wonderful two days here. As a solo traveller, Molesworth Manor provided wonderful facilities to enjoy - lounge, library, garden. While my room was gorgeous, it was nice to have these other beautiful spaces to enjoy too.

Luxurious but homely!
We stayed in the cooks room as a family of 3 which was a complimentary upgrade. The room was beautiful; it was large, comfortable, clean and had all you needed. The rest of the house was stunning. Luxurious but homely and we were made to feel very at home with the encouragement to use the lounge areas. Debbie and Sue were welcoming, friendly, attentive and perfect hosts. The location was ideal being just outside the Hussle and bussle of Padstow. All in all we couldn't have asked for better and plan to return in the future

Top class in every little detail
We stayed here for 3 nights in mid-May. The building is old and full of character but beautifully maintained. There is ample parking and it was full every night so obviously very popular. Our room was on the top floor (no lift) but flooded with light and with a great view; it was relatively small and our shower room/toilet was 2 doors down the small corridor though we had sole use of it and our tariff was also much cheaper than for the other rooms. Beds were very comfortable.

Wonderful place to stay
Fantastic stay in a lovely location with lovely people. Home made muffins for part of the breakfast offering, the best Ive ever eaten. Significant attention to detail in all aspects of the location and stay have been made, from the natural flowers on the dining tables to the lovely comfy pillow.

Disappointed
In early February we booked two nights in May, in a superior room. On arrival we were taken to the 'Seigneur Room' where I was surprised to find a small double bed and only space for one chair. The room was pleasant and newly decorated and I presumed I should have been more careful with my booking request. It was not until I arrived home did I go back to my confirmation letter which stated that I had requested the following: 'Please could we have a spacious, light room, with a King size, Queen size or twin beds. Maybe the South Room? Many thanks.' While I realise that 'requests cannot be guaranteed' I think the proprietor should have notified me if he was unable, or unwilling, to take any notice of our preferences.

Very good hotel, close to Padstow
Beautiful property 5 minute drive from Padstow. Molesworth Manor is a 17th Century former rectory. We received a warm welcome and tour of the facilities from Geoff on arrival, he even pointed out the "honesty bar" which is something we have never come across before. Very good breakfast served by a very sweet waitress. Sorry we only had time for the one night.

Nice B & B near to Padstow
This is much more than a B & B, very stylish. There really is nothing to fault about this lovely place, from the great room, location, gorgeous house to the wonderful homemade fresh breakfasts with freshly baked muffins and specials each morning like potato pancakes, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs which I had. One morning it was spanish omelette. Freshly squeezed orange juice, no cartons here. An honesty bar to help yourself to good quality wines and beers etc. A gorgeous garden to sit and catch the last rays of the sunshine. We thought this place was fabulous, we came especially to go to Rick Steins Seafood restaurant which was great too. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Padstow.

Gorgeous house, fabulous breakfast
Booked a room back in June hoping so much notice would ensure a nice room as seen on the website. We were allocated a small room in the eves with a tiny window and an ensuite created by a portitian which contained dimpled glass, thereby enabling you to hear and see your partners ablutions whilst lying in your bed touching distance away! I wouldn't pay £118 for this room again.

Creaky wbed
Great hotel, a bit formal but super surroundings and building, some simple things to fix, WiFi not available in all rooms, a must in this day and age. Shower in a very nice standalone bath, not functional as the curtains made the space too small. So the floor get very wet yet bathroom was big enough for a proper shower aswell as the bath. And finally, such a creaky bed, every roll over woke us up.

Good base for touring
Lovely room with plenty of space for three occupants. A little chilly at night. Breakfast very good but a little crowded in the breakfast room. When busy, there can be a long wait for breakfast to be cooked. However, this did not detract from our stay and we would not hesitate to use the Manor again.

Extremely welcoming. Room comfortable and nicely furnished (we had twin room) the breakfast was better than many I have had in larger more expensive hotels.

Nice hotel close to Padstow
Enjoyed a short stay at this hotel with my husband, for a celebratory visit to the seafood restaurant. Just 10min drive from Padstow, rooms were small but clean and quite charming. I have stayed in better 4 star hotels if I'm honest but this was good value for money for a stay close to the hustle of Padstow, breakfast was varied although cold on arrival which was a shame. Overall a good hotel, in a good spot, beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

Everything was marvellous!
Sometimes you read reviews and don't believe places can be that good. I have to say that Molesworth Manor was faultless. My Wife and I stayed for 2 nights and everything was marvellous. Great location, great room, great service and great place. We'd love to go back - if only we can get someone to look after the little ones again!!
