Padstow Townhouse
Antique-meets-modern boutique. Every room has a distinct personality — Parisian, sporting, botanical, tropical — but all share the same level of considered luxury. Feels more like staying in someone's very stylish home than checking into a hotel.

Why It Matters
Michelin Key-awarded property directly connected to Paul Ainsworth's Michelin-starred restaurant, No6. Named 'best new hotel of 2016' by The Times. No reception desk by design — no barriers between staff and guests.
An 18th-century Grade II Listed townhouse on a quiet street in Padstow's old town, owned by Michelin-starred chef Paul Ainsworth and his wife Emma. Six individually themed suites — each named after a sweet treat — are styled by Emma Ainsworth and designer Eve Cullen-Cornes: think wrought-iron beds, freestanding copper bathtubs, Chesterfield sofas, and limited-edition artworks. The whole operation is built around food: breakfast hampers arrive each morning packed by No6 chefs, the honesty pantry is loaded with chef-curated snacks, and a house BMW ferries you down to the Ainsworth restaurants at the harbour.
