    “The cottage is lovely and in a prime spot.”

    Everything we needed was there, but the living room was a disappointment, there was lumps and bumps under the big rug, and when it was pulled up to see what the problem was there was a long piece of wood, a huge piece of glass and lots of dry sand, we cleaned it all up and gave the floor a good mopping as it was really dirty. Upstairs was beautiful and so comfortable. When we rang to ask if we could stay one more extra night because of Storm Darrah coming in on the friday night we were shocked ...

    Everything we needed was there, but the living room was a disappointment, there was lumps and bumps under the big rug, and when it was pulled up to see what the problem was there was a long piece of wood, a huge piece of glass and lots of dry sand, we cleaned it all up and gave the floor a good mopping as it was really dirty. Upstairs was beautiful and so comfortable. When we rang to ask if we could stay one more extra night because of Storm Darrah coming in on the friday night we were shocked that the office wanted an extra £249 for 1 night, when the whole week cost only £628. So we left early next morning around 7am, with no power or heating in the cottage due to the storm.

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 beautiful Lundy Bay, known for being the filming location of the hugely popular Doc Martin series. You may be lucky enough to see the infamous Fisherman's Friends performing on the Platt during the summer months singing traditional shanties. 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.
