Harry Potter would feel at
home at this turreted villa, complete with four colour-coded rooms plus an ultra-romantic
tower hideaway. Green and Yellow rooms have bay views; Lilac and Pink don't, so are
cheaper. All are beautifully decorated with vintage rugs and antique fireplaces, and the
breakfast jams are homemade with fruit from the garden.
Treann House

; 24 Dennis Rd; d £100-130; )
Offering luxury that
far outstrips its price point, this B&B shimmers with understated style. The three rooms
(Cove, Bay and Estuary) are classic, with views over Padstow's rooftops, while the sitting
room is blond wood and open plan. Breakfast's a treat: fresh berry pancakes, or poached
eggs with asparagus and sweet potato hash - but then again, it should be, since the house
is owned by Paul and Emma Ainsworth.

Get the Rick
Stein experience on a budget at this posh fish-and-chips bar, where cod, haddock, monk-
fish, John Dory and bass are all on the deep-fried menu. The beef dripping batter ensures
a super-crisp finish, especially accompanied by a beer like Chalky's Bite or Chalky's Bark
(named after Stein's late, much-loved terrier).
