The Golden Lion Hotel is situated in the heart of Padstow, close to the harbour. The streets around the Hotel are narrow and mainly one-way, and there is no parking at the Hotel. There is plenty of 24 hour parking close by.

Padstow is easily reached from the M5/A30 trunk road into Cornwall. After passing Launceston follow signs for North Cornwall on to the A395. Continue on to the A39 through Camelford, towards Wadebridge. Stay on the A39 bypassing Wadebridge town centre. Turn right on to the A389, signposted Padstow.
