I didnt stay at the hotel, and unfortunately, we arrived a bit too early to eat dinner, so cant really provide any reviews relating to either of those things. What I can however talk about is the thrill and sheer exuberance I felt, walking around in the parking lot of the Old School Hotel, seeing the Doc's house, the lovely Harbor bay below, Bert and Al Large's restaurant - it was like visiting an old familiar house! The staff here were super friendly, even when I do think the must get super tired of all the gawking tourists, and cant wait to come back here another time and hopefully this time, experience dinner too!

In any case, I came here without a reservation, and I was promptly assigned to the Chemistry room. The room was small (but I did ask for the cheapest they had), but I remember how comfortable it was. I was a big fan of all the pillows on the bed, into which I sank with pleasure. It had an ensuite bathroom, and it was very warm and cozy. I especially liked the view across the harbor. They had a very nice little bar near the reception, and the dinner I had there (fish) was elegant and excellent. A nice couple from Cornwall that I had drank with earlier even invited me to join them. I still remember the conversation. I'd highly recommend staying here while in Port Iaasic.

The Old Custom House is a large, attractive pub & restaurant in Padstow Harbour, part of a chain…read moreand affiliated (as so many in the area) with St. Austell Brewery. The historic building is in perfect shape, and the décor inviting and family-friendly. There are two areas, one close to the bar and a room mostly for dining at the back. Sadly, it offered no dedicated seating in front of the building, which is a shame considering the splendid view. The menu is straightforward and streamlined; during my week in Cornwall I've encountered the very same menu at least five times, at pubs in Padstow, St. Ives and Falmouth. On the upside, you know what you'll get. My pick at The Old Custom House was their rump steak with chips, onion rings, a flat mushroom, and tomato. You can add a prawn skewer for UKP 4, which I did and later regretted, it's not worth the "upgrade". The steak itself arrived medium rare as ordered: average quality meat but decently prepared. Okay for the price. The range of real ales and lagers was good, of course there's a focus on St. Austell ales. I tried different beers and they were all fresh and well-kept. The bar staff were reasonably friendly, but seemed in quite a hurry - not surprising considering the fact that Padstow is a touristy place and that the pub was nearly packed during (late) lunchtime. Queues at the bar (there is a separate till for ordering food) can get longer, and longer. The dish itself arrived within reasonable time. As expected, beer prices are rather elevated at such a place, so expect more than UKP 4 for a pint. All in all it's one of the best options though along the Padstow "harbour front".

The minute that we all arrived numerous staff were on hand to take our coats and ensure that the table area was to our liking, from there our waiter somehow managed to be exceptional and not get a single thing wrong the whole night. Drinks were prompt, food was outstanding and we never had dirty plates or empty cups for long. The seafood pot in the creamy mustard sauce (name fails me now..) was AMAZING, definitely the best meal I have ever had. To top that off there was a Thai mussels starter that was out of this world. A few gentleman at the table had steaks and they were cooked to perfection which is sometimes hit or miss at seafood restaurants. Needless to say, this was perfect for our very special occasion and despite being a bit loud, the staff was very gracious and the surrounding parties were also kind and understanding, one of which sent us over drinks. Such a great experience and I recommend to anyone in Padstow looking for a high class dining experience. Our waiter was from Canada of all places and was OUTSTANDING, so if you get him, you are in very good hands.

As such, the range isn't that great, so I settled for a Brain's SA on hand pump. This pub/hotel is located about a hundred meters from Padstow's busy and extremely touristy harbour, and it offers a bit of quiet in this much-loved holiday "spa". Especially nice is the (covered) outside seating area which opens to the narrow road. Staff were nice upon my short visit, and it felt comfy and relaxed there.
