Nestling within sight of the open sea at the mouth of the tranquil Camel Estuary, Padstow, in Cornwall, has always been a thriving fishing port and commercial centre for north Cornwall. At the heart of the town and overlooking the medieval harbour is the Old Custom House, now a stylish and intimate place to stay.

Standing on the quayside, the Old Custom House is still one of the finest buildings in the town. Today it is famous for its fine food, award winning ales, elegant, intimate accommodation and for its luxurious Beauty Studio. In the recent inspection we were awarded a 4 star gold grading, this reflects the high standards of both the rooms and service here at The Old Custom House.

Padstow is renowned for its restaurants and fine cuisine and Pescadou restaurant is a jewel in the crown. Fashionably blending ancient with modern design, Pescadou caters for every eventuality from the celebratory dinner to the casual lunch.

Using fresh local produce and fish often straight from the quay outside, Pescadou restaurant offers an extensive menu of fish and seafood dishes complemented by a fine selection of wines. To find out more, go to the Pescadou restaurant page

Just a 5 minute walk from Rick Steins Sea Food Restaurant, we offer a great base to stay for those visiting his world famous Restaurant and Cookery School.
