To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Padstow is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers seeking affordable accommodation in Padstow, focusing on areas slightly outside the immediate harbour front can lead to better value. While Padstow itself is a popular destination, the main harbour area tends to have higher prices; looking a short walk away can yield more economical options.

Consider accommodation slightly uphill from the main town centre, or in the residential streets just beyond the bustling harbour. These areas often feature guesthouses, bed and breakfasts, or smaller hotels that offer competitive rates. You'll still be within easy walking distance of the harbour, its eateries, and attractions, without paying premium prices for a waterfront view.

Another strategy for solo travellers is to explore options in nearby villages such as Little Petherick or St Issey, which are just a short bus or taxi ride from Padstow. These villages often have charming, more affordably priced guesthouses and pubs, providing a quieter base while allowing convenient access to Padstow's offerings.
What are the top-rated cheap hotels for families in Padstow?
For families seeking an affordable and top stay in Padstow, the Farmers Arms is a highly-rated option.

The 3-star Farmers Arms has an impressive 8.4 rating, with guests consistently praising its clean rooms, excellent food, and great accommodation. Its location is often described as perfect, and the staff are noted for being friendly and welcoming. Families will appreciate the free self-parking, and for those who enjoy outdoor activities, there's mountain biking available nearby.
When is the most affordable time to visit Padstow?
The most affordable time to visit Padstow is typically during the shoulder seasons – late spring (April/May) or early autumn (September/October) – outside of the peak summer months and school holidays. During these periods, you'll find lower prices for accommodation, fewer crowds, and still enjoy pleasant weather for exploring.

For solo travellers, these months offer a more relaxed atmosphere, making it easier to secure a good deal on a room in a guesthouse or B&B. The walking trails along the South West Coast Path are less congested, and you can enjoy the natural beauty of the area without the summer rush. Many local eateries might also offer special deals before the main tourist season kicks in or after it winds down.

Families looking for value will also benefit from visiting outside the summer holidays. Accommodation prices can drop significantly, and popular attractions like the Camel Trail for cycling or the local beaches will be much quieter.
Is Padstow a budget-friendly destination?
While Padstow is generally considered a more upmarket destination, travellers can absolutely experience its charm on a budget with some smart planning.

For accommodation, look slightly outside the immediate harbour area. Nearby villages or towns such as Wadebridge or St Merryn offer more affordable options, and are easily connected to Padstow by local buses or scenic walking/cycling routes along the Camel Trail. Solo travellers might also find budget-friendly guesthouses or B&Bs a short walk from the busiest parts of town.

Couples can save on dining by opting for fresh pasties from local bakeries, fish and chips to enjoy by the harbour, or making use of self-catering accommodation for some meals. Many of Padstow's best experiences are free, such as strolling along the picturesque harbour, exploring the beautiful beaches like St George's Cove or Harbour Cove, and enjoying coastal walks along the South West Coast Path.
Which cheap hotels in Padstow have good reviews for customer service?
For affordable hotels in Padstow with excellent customer service, travellers often recommend YHA Treyarnon - Hostel, Farmers Arms, and Well Parc Hotel.

YHA Treyarnon - Hostel, a 3-star property with a 9.2 rating, is highly praised by guests for its amazing staff. It offers free self-parking and is conveniently located near the sea.

Another great option is the 3-star Farmers Arms, which has an 8.4 rating. Guests frequently comment on its friendly staff. This hotel provides free wired internet in public areas and free self-parking, and mountain biking is available nearby.

What free activities should we do in Padstow?
In Padstow, you'll find a delightful array of free activities, great for making the most of your visit without spending a penny.

For couples, a stroll along the Camel Trail is an absolute must. This scenic, mostly flat path follows a disused railway line, offering stunning views of the Camel Estuary. You can walk as much or as little of the 18-mile route as you like, perhaps from Padstow to Wadebridge and back, enjoying the fresh air and picturesque landscapes. Exploring Padstow's charming harbour is also free; watch the fishing boats come and go, browse the local shops (window shopping is free.), and soak in the vibrant setting. The town's narrow streets, lined with historic buildings, are lovely to wander through hand-in-hand.

Solo travellers might enjoy discovering the beautiful sandy beaches surrounding Padstow, such as St George's Cove, Harbour Cove, and Trevone Bay. These are accessible via coastal paths and offer opportunities for peaceful reflection, beachcombing, and enjoying the natural beauty of the Cornish coastline. The South West Coast Path also offers breathtaking views and invigorating walks right from Padstow, leading to dramatic clifftops and hidden coves without any cost.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Padstow as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options.
