“2nd holiday at the Highlands cottage in Trelights village, the cleanliness was much improved this time, though a shame the front window/patio door was very foggy, the cottage is well equipped and all linen and towels were of good quality and very clean, We felt very at home and once again thoroughly enjoyed our stay in beautiful Cornwall!”

We like that the village isn't far in either direction to other great areas and beaches, our dogs love Daymar bay and went most evenings for our last walk.. The garden was well used as the weather was very kind to us.

We like that the village isn't far in either direction to other great areas and beaches, our dogs love Daymar bay and went most evenings for our last walk..

The garden is safe and secure and our dogs love it. (For other dog owners there is a dog poo bin at the start of the cul de sac) lovely friendly little village to walk around and chat with people. There was quite a few road works in and around Trelights village, we were detoured around lots of small winding roads which was interesting if not a little scary..

“This is a great location and the bungalow is comfortable.”

The garden is pretty. I would have liked to be able to control the heating but it didn't seem possible to override the settings. It would have been helpful to have had some information available about the various appliances in the property, as well as the information about the general area.

- Judith, April 2024

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Highlands. Thank you for providing us with your feedback, we have noted your suggestions and the owner will be made aware. We hope to welcome you back anytime in the future - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“We had a lovely stay in Highlands and it was the perfect cosy refuge from the cold and windy new year weather!”

Thank you too for the very kind welcome pack left for us.

Hazel September 2023

“Very cosy comfortable bungalow.”

Clean and well maintained. Had a slight heating issue but was dealt with quickly. Perhaps more saucepans as only 1 is difficult for a meal also clearer instructions where wifi router is and code. Very peaceful spot. Enjoyed the cream tea ingredients left for us thankyou

We are pleased you enjoyed the property so much. We do hope that we get the opportunity to welcome you back to Cornwall in the future. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“The property was on a lovely location, easy to find.”

Ideal base to go to visit place of interest, to name a few Port Issac, Padstow and Wadebridge.

“Overall a nice property.”

However. The home needs a good clean. The bathroom especially. Dirty tiles and black mould. The blind was filthy and wouldn’t wind back up after being lowered. The pull cord for the light was black and hadn’t been cleaned in years. The carpets throughout had marks that need cleaning. The front bedroom had mould on the mattress topper. Overall the place was as advertised in a good location, just let down by the level of cleanliness.

- Deborah, August 2023

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback from your stay. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the property overall but are disappointed to hear the cleaning was not at the standards expected. Had we been made aware at the time, we would have gladly re-attended to resolve this for you. However, we also appreciate this should have been picked up on changeover and so will raise this with the cleaning company. We do hope that we get the opportunity to welcome you back to Cornwall in the future. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“Property was clean and well equipped although showing signs of age, wallpaper starting to peel in the hall and rugs not lying flat.”

Carbon monoxide alarm actuated on Tuesday afternoon, alarm confirmed by moving detector outside to reset and taking indoors again.Doors and windows opened and area ventilated.Sykes informed and maintenance man arrived one hour later. Couldn't fix or determine the problem and couldn't get a maintenance engineer until the following day. Boiler switched off and immersion heater switched on to provide hot water only. As weather was very wet and the prospect of staying in all day with an engineer was not appealing plus uncertainty of source of problem decided to go home early.

- Michael, July 2023

Thank you for taking the time to feedback on your stay. We're very sorry that you had to experience these issues during your visit but thank you for your patience and understanding whilst we sorted them for you. Your comments have been passed on to the team here at John Bray Cornish Holidays. We hope to welcome you back to north Cornwall in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.

“My Mother is 85 and I am her carer.”

We both enjoyed Highlands immensely as the property was very well maintained and was immaculate. It’s location with just green fields to the rear and at the top of the estate was superb as it was both quiet and bright and sunny. Excellent parking and location for access to Port Isaac, Polzeath, Daymer Bay and Wadebridge. As a bungalow, everything is on one level so it was excellent for my Mother who needs her rollator. My Mother even found the patio area of the garden was easy to access. Five Stars all round!

Lovely cottage would definitely stay again the only thing I would recommend is they could do with a bath mat and a proper door mat but apart from them minor things lovely place and really enjoyed our stay many thanks K&D

- Karl, May 2023

Thank you for your lovely comments, We will look into the lack of bath mat and door mat. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owners. Property Owner
Noel April 2023

“Very comfortable house in a quiet cul de sac - perfect location for exploring North Cornwall.”

Ideal for dog owners, lovely secure garden and close to a footpath. Small issue with the heating system dealt with very swiftly and efficiently. Very much enjoyed our stay and would certainly love to revisit.

- Noel, April 2023

Thank you for taking the time to complete the feedback from your recent stay. We are pleased you found the house comfortable and quiet in such a good location for exploring. We are sorry there was an issue with the heating system but are glad we were able to resolve this in a timely manner for you. We hope you choose to book with John Bray Cornish Holidays again as we would love to welcome you back to Cornwall in the very near future. Property Owner
Patrick April 2023

“The cottage was very comfortable.”

The garden was a major disappointment, the grass appeared to not have been cut this year, the rest of the garden was full of large weeds, the fence/hedge had a large hole in it, which we had to block with the garden furniture, to make it safe for our dogs! We could also hear wildlife in the roof space, unfortunately there were no contact details in the cottage, to contact the owner about this. There was no information in the cottage about housekeeping, bins laundry etc.

- Patrick, April 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by these issues with the Garden. Your comments have been passed on to the team at John Bray Cornish Holidays to inspect and resolve. We are also in the process of placing new and updated information packs into our properties. 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.

The property

Highlands is a warm, welcoming detached bungalow settled in the peaceful hamlet of Trelights near Port Isaac, Cornwall.

Highlands is a lovely family home which is also suitable for a group of adults as it accommodates up to five guests looking to go on their next adventure in Cornwall, with a plethora of seaside escapades, including the Doc Martin-famed village of Port Isaac resting a stone's throw away. Make use of the private driveway, set your bags down and relax upon entering Highlands.

The welcoming interiors means you can be embraced by the warmth of a woodburning stove in the sitting room and enjoy a well-deserved rest on the sofa. Thoughtful interior touches ensure you will feel at home in your coastal abode, benefiting from the comforts of two large sofas to curl up in and a smart TV for those evenings catching up on your holiday boxsets.

While everyone can stay connected to the outside world with technology with WiFi throughout, the whole family will appreciate the lovely collection of books in the lounge too, for tuning out of reality. Continue down the hallway to the open plan kitchen/diner, a charming room with natural light flooring in through the large kitchen window and back door.

The kitchen offers the designated chef everything they need to prepare delectable dishes for the entire family to enjoy together at the dining table while chatting over the day's activities.

If you have picked up supplies of Cornish food from Trevathan Farm Shop (down the road in St. Endellion) you are sure to be in for a delicious meal!

In the summer, fling open the back door onto the garden to let the fresh air in and the children potter out.

Further along the hallway, there are three well-appointed bedrooms to choose from; a master at the back of the house overlooking the garden with a king size bed, a bedroom also at the back with twin beds which gives children (or adults) their own retreat and a light airy bedroom at the front with a day bed which can be pulled out into a small double to give your fifth guest extra comfort and their own room. The bedrooms are all near to the shower room, where you can refresh after a day out at the beach.

The quaint, enclosed garden offers a moment of solace, where you can be encompassed by the crisp, coastal air as you sip a steaming cup of coffee in the morning. If the children have any energy left after the delights of the local beaches and activities, they can play out on the lawn while adults can sprawl in privacy.

For your daily adventures, the welcoming village of Port Isaac, home to a magnificent harbour is just 1.9 miles away with Port Gaverne Beach just down the hill and features access to the South Western Coastal Path, and a wealth of services, from independent shops, pubs and cafés.

Be sure to spot the familiar sights from the Doc Martin series and Fisherman's Friends films, in the summer you may even catch them singing at the harbour.

In the summer season, the Slip and Slide in St. Endellion will be children's new favourite activity while adults may prefer a gentle paddle board or kayak in the bay of Port Quin.

Polzeath is only a short distance away, with its beach offering a fantastic day out for families and surfers, along with the National Trust's observation deck, Pentire, offering walkers stunning, coastal views and birdwatching opportunities. There are smaller, quieter coves accessible at low tide too which mean you will escape the crowds, such as Lundy Bay within easy access of Highlands.

From the picture-postcard village of Rock nearby, take the footferry and cross over to Padstow, which is home to the magnificent Prideaux Place country house, the intriguing National Lobster Hatchery and plenty of local shops and cafes, you can even sit on the harbour wall and drop your crab line down to pick up some snappy friends!

There is plenty to see in this marvellous area, why not head north to see the history at Tintagel Castle ruins or for retail therapy, the charming town of Wadebridge Highlands is the perfect retreat for a staycation in Cornwall.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
