“The outside photo of the property shows a large space to park a car, I did not find out about the parking until days before our arrival, that we had to park our car 300 meters away, we were very annoyed to have to carry all our luggage past, customers sat outside the cafe/restaurant, I felt the padlocks on the cupboards over the top, if the owner had private property, this all could have been packed away, We did not expect to have shops 10ft from the front door of the property, the property photo misrepresented that this was a quiet area, due to the noise of the shops it was anything but, we also had to report rodents in the loft space, we contemplated cutting our holiday short, the rodent problem was dealt with quickly, so we decided to make the best of a bad job.”

- Mrs Pamela, September 2024

Your comments have been passed on to the team here at John Bray Cornish Holidays. We hope you still managed to enjoy your visit despite these issues and would love to welcome you back to North Cornwall in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.

“Always enjoy staying at Sea Glimpses.”

The cottage has everything you need and is in a great location. Private car parking is also a major plus in the village. We've been loads of times as a family and have booked again for next year.

- Stephen, July 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back next year! - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“The property was nice but didn’t like the location.”

It would be much better if they could have a parking space behind the shops.

The property & the location were perfect for us & having a parking space was also a bonus. Elaine was morethan helpful & easy to contact if needed. (Thank you Elaine)

“"We are very disappointed that we were not informed of the night road works that are happening outside our accommodation.”

We are staying in Sea Glimpses in Port Isaac and were unable to sleep until the early hours this morning due to the constant jackhammering and vehicle noise just outside our windows. Our holiday plans were flexible and had we known of this we would have booked the following week. The pea Pod shop owner who owns Sea Glimpses Studio informed us this morning that she notified her tenants that they could change plans if they wished due to the impending night time noise. We were not given that opportunity. On Monday the roadworks messed up our plans as the bus could not come into the village. We are told that the work will continue again tonight which means the last 2 nights of our stay are anything but relaxing. We stayed in the same place back in March and had a fantastic stay. I’m sure you would have been aware of the roadwork as all of the residents told us they were well informed.' The road works also continued the following night until the early hours of the morning. It was even tricky/dangerous to cross the road to get into the village. We have videos and photos of the roadworks taken from the cottage and the road. We also sent this email to John Bray estate agents who said they would forward this to you but we still haven't received a reply apart from this generic feedback form which is insulting. We would like a response from you to explain why you ignored us before during and after this experience.

“Excellent as always.”

- Nick, September 2022

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to hear that you had such a fabulous stay at Sea Glimpses and had the perfect base to explore the north Cornish coastline from! We hope to invite you back to North Cornwall very soon. John Bray on behalf of the owners. Property Owner
Angie August 2022

“The cottage is lovely, very adequate for our needs.”

Cleanliness is marked down as the work surfaces were dirty. I used sanitiser/antiviral wipes and the cloths were filthy. Also the floors were worse, we always take our shoes off at the door, our feet & socks were black with dirt, absolutely black. The information pack says the property will be cleaned & sanitised before our arrival. This is definitely not true. I do not expect to clean floors or work tops before I can start my holiday. Also the bins around the back of the property were blocked by bags & bags of rubbish piled up. No way could you get to the bins for the sea glimpes this way. We had to get in by going in the roped off area and climbing over a wall.

- Angie, August 2022

Thank you for providing us with your feedback following your stay at Sea Glimpses. We are really sorry for the issues you encountered upon your arrival, we are following these issues up internally with the housekeeping team. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owners Property Owner

Leanne September 2021

“This property was perfect.”

We stayed during the sea shanty weekend and it was the perfect welcome to Port Isaac! We fell in love with both Port Gaverne and Port Isaac in 2020, so this property was in the ideal location for us. Thanks so much to the hosts for being so welcoming and accommodating. We will definitely stay again.

- Leanne, September 2021

“I have stayed in the property on three occasions so I knew what to expect but anyone new to the property would be pleasantly surprised and happy with their choice.”

- Nick, September 2021

“The only thing that was awkward was getting to the rubbish bins.”

The cottage its self was really nice and well stocked with everything needed. The weather was so nice we did not use any of the plentiful TV's etc. one thing the agents could do is to provide how to get long term parking. It was ok for us as our friends were staying just up the road and they had parking

Gemma August 2021

“The shower pressure was just awful.”

Temperature kept running scorching hot to cold. The fact that you had to turn on the hot water wasn’t ideal as we arrived and needed to give children a bath. No dishwasher wasn’t very hygienic especially with Covid. Twin room was absolutely tiny Parking not ideal with small children but we accept that is port Isaac

The property

This charming holiday home enjoys a superb location with nearby local shops, cafes and all that Port Isaac has to offer.

A short walk from both Port Isaac's historic harbour and the shingle cove at Port Gaverne, Sea Glimpses is the perfect base thereby offering a convenient and attractive place to stay for up to three guests in two bedrooms. Situated within moments of the clifftops, Sea Glimpses is a fantastic coastal escape for those looking to tackle the coast paths, try the local catch of the day or to simply relax and unwind from every day life.

Start your morning with a coffee from the Lazy Days cafe just a few strides away while you plan your day on the coast.

The open plan living area is equipped with comfortable seating, where you can put your feet up or to rustle up a local dish in the kitchen which can be purchased from Fresh from the Sea nearby.

Both the double and single bedroom are found on the first floor, beautifully lit with velux windows and plenty of storage. Located just off New Road, this cottage is only a 5 minute walk from the beautiful old village centre with its winding, narrow streets edged with characterful old fisherman's cottages.

Quirky gift shops and art galleries provide a spot of retail therapy, while a delicious cream tea can be enjoyed at any one of the cafes or restaurants.

Take the children onto the beach at low tide to explore the rock pools and the harbour wall, or head over to Port Gaverne with a wetsuit for a refreshing dip in the sea or a paddle.

A short drive away lies the surf haven of Polzeath, the bucket and spade bathing beach at Daymer Bay or the watersport hub of Rock, where you can also catch the foot ferry over to Padstow.

About the location

PORT ISAAC

Polzeath 6.5 miles; Padstow 16 miles

Port Isaac; one of the true Cornish treasures. A beautiful fishing village nestling in a steep sided valley, the old village in the valley remains unchanged from its days of fishing, slate export and smuggling in the previous century. An abundance of small character properties complemented by larger cliff-top retreats, can be found with easy access to the numerous restaurants and shops of the village. The sandy harbour provides an abundance of rock pools as the tide retreats. There is ample parking at the top of the village and the village is a popular tourist destination with plenty of attractions including the dramatic Doyden Castle, the beautiful Lundy Bay and the famous Doc Martin's clinic. There are also plenty of pubs, restaurants, and shops in the village. Just a short drive from the beaches of Polzeath, Daymer and Rock, it is perfect for romantic and family holidays alike.
