“This is our third visit to the cottage.”

We love the space, the beautiful gardens and the tranquility! It’s a real escape. There are just a few small tweaks that would make it perfect. In the twin room next to the shower room there are two built in wardrobes both locked! . My elderly parents who stay in this room do not have anywhere to hang their clothes. It might seem a small thing but it’s basic requirement and a quick fix. Also the lighting in the shower room is very poor. No door mat either to wipe shoes so grass etc ...

It might seem a small thing but it’s basic requirement and a quick fix. Also the lighting in the shower room is very poor. No door mat either to wipe shoes so grass etc. brought into that side of the house. Both outside lights not working and some of the bulbs inside the cottage. These should be checked by cleaners/John Bray each time the house is cleaned. But it’s a beautiful place overall.

“Positives, the cottage is located in a peaceful village, close enough to explore local popular towns, Port Issac, Polzeath, Padstow, Wadebridge, and an hour drive to St Michael’s Mount.”

The table tennis table and table football a bonus addition for all ages. Negatives, general cleanness could be improved. On arrival we had to clean the kitchen, as it was smelly, work tops, handles dirty, dusty. The fridge is old and a little smelly. A welcome pack would have been appreciated, this was the first holiday property in over 10 years we’ve stayed in that a welcome pack hasn’t been provided.

- Daniel, July 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the issues with the kitchen cleanliness, these have been reported back to our housekeeping team. As self catering holidays, welcome packs are down to owner discretion. 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.

“V much recommend.”

Warm & cosy. Large space with 1 twin bedroom & bathroom at one end of property, & 2 bedrooms & bathroom the other side, so felt roomy & not on top if each other. Ping pong & football great additions too. Didn't want to leave. Only feedback would be that the plates & bowls were old & mismatched & need to be replaced (so cheap from Ikea!) to match the standard of the rest of the property. Thanks for a great stay!

- Denise, December 2023

“In a lovely position and village .”

Very natural peaceful garden , The post code given was for property in Polzeath not Trelights .this should be rectified . On approaching the front door we were disappointed that the front door and all of the windows were very dirty , entering the property a musty smell inside the front door and downstairs especially which was there all week . However the inside of property was very clean , freshly decorated , and nicely furnished . We did enjoy our stay at Orchard cottage.

“The property was fantastic, very spacious, and everything that you would need for a great base to enjoy this wonderful part of the country.”

The gardens are really lovely, and bigger than they appeared in the details with a good variety of wildlife that visited. It’s a really peaceful location. Having the benefit of the tv with Netflix etc and the games area were perfect for the odd time when the rain appeared which thankfully wasn’t often. We would definitely book again and can’t wait to come back and visit the area again.

“This is such a beautiful and spacious property.”

It was bigger than we were expecting and was perfect with children and a grandparent! We had a wonderful week and loved the beautiful secluded garden too. The garden space isn’t really explained in the online information so was a great surprise that it was so big! The only thing we’d suggest improving are the directions to the cottage; they didn’t match the description we were given and we got quite lost trying to find it initially. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

Christine May 2023

“Fabulous cottage, photographs do not do it justice.”

Exceptionally clean, all linens/towels high quality, kitchen very well equipped, lounge huge - we were only there as a couple but there is loads of room for two families. The cottage is in a lovely secluded area/hamlet surrounded by fields with only occasional cows coming to graze! Well maintained garden with lovely flowers/shrubs - all in all very relaxing to sit outside in the sun! Would like to suggest a larger double bed in the main bedroom as we found the bed quite small. We had a great stay and would not hesitate in recommending Orchard Cottage as a holiday destination - hope to return in the future!

- Christine, May 2023

Thank you so much for your kind words; we are so pleased you enjoyed the property and its lovely surroundings. We would love to welcome you back to Cornwall in the very near future. John Bray on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Charlie June 2022

“Really lovely and spacious cottage for 6 people.”

We didn't spend that much time at the house but there were great facilities (table tennis, table football etc) for when we did. The ten minute drive from Polzeath beach is absolutely fine. Would 100% recommend. The only negative thing I can think of was the shower in one of the bathrooms isn't properly suspended on the wall, just connected to the tap which was fine for me but a bit of a struggle for my two 6"4 mates! That's very much nitpicking though. Lovely stay, 10/10!

“We had a fantastic time at Orchard Cottage.”

Layout was perfect for sharing with young family one side and grand parents on the other. Photos are deceiving.. property is larger than it appears in the pictures! Lovely area to be based with amazing walking and great places to visit in all directions. Would definitely return.

Anita August 2021

“Nice cottage, nice location, comfortable.”

Lots of hot water and lovely fresh bedding and towels. We rented another cottage in Bude prior to our stay and had a lovely welcome pack and it smelt amazing, lots of local information. On arrival sadly the cottage smelt overwhelming of fish on arrival, it took 3 days for it to smell less fishy, whilst I appreciate you can’t help what a previous person may cook, there could have been an attempt to freshen it up a little. The toaster was still covered in bread crumbs on arrival and only works once before having to be cooled down to use again, not ideal with a family of four. A little more effort would bring this cottage up to a higher standard.

The property

Orchard Cottage is a beautiful rural retreat, tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Trelights just a few miles from the famous fishermans village Port Isaac and the popular surfing beach of Polzeath and the north Cornwall coast.

Sleeping six guests in three bedrooms with two bathrooms, this self catering holiday cottage is the perfect base for a small family or a group of friends looking to explore the best of north Cornwall.

The property has parking for 3 cars. This delightful converted stone barn is filled with traditional features and charm.

Recently renovated, Orchard Cottage was orignally two separate cottages now merged with two separate wings on the ground floor.

The right wing boasts an attractive double bedroom, family bathroom and a twin bedroom.

The left wing is more private with the second twin bedroom, a generous sized shower room and a utility area equipped with plenty of storage cupboards and a sink.

The first floor can be accessed from both wings where you can enjoy nearby farmland and countryside views from the living room.

The lounge area has a range of seating where you can sink into a chair with a book or watch a favourite movie.

For wet weather days or nights in, Orchard Cottage has it covered, challenge your friends and family to a game of table tennis or table football in the living area with all the bats and balls supplied.

The bright kitchen diner is a well- equipped space with a fridge freezer, oven, microwave and plenty of cupboard space for your food delivery. Trelights is a pretty hamlet that is away from the hustle and bustle of the beachside villages, yet still within a few miles drive from the north Cornwall coast.

Book a table at the Longcross Hotel at the top of the hill where you can enjoy some delicious local delicacies with a view of the coast and why not explore the Victorian gardens and grounds; the only public gardens on the north Cornwall coast.

Within a mile from Trevathan Farm Shop, a local store with fresh groceries and locally sourced ingredients including a delicious cafe.

Just over 3 miles away, a day out in Port Isaac is well recommended, sampling hot Cornish pasties, catch of the day, or tackling the coastal paths on the cliffs with stunning views over the harbour.

Be sure to visit ITV Series Doc Martin's house and catch the sea shanty singers on the platt during the summer months.
