Along with fishing trips, sea safaris and the likes of Newquay, a true surfing capital, all on the card too, there’s lots to choose from.

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. Only ten minutes drive from the beaches of Polzeath, Daymer and Rock, it is perfect for romantic and family holidays alike. There is ample parking at the top of the village.

You get what you pay for and the pictures are not misleading however the decor and furniture need updating. Kitchen well equipped however not a lot of cupboard space for grocery, massive wine rack on the wall could be better utilised. Living room, carpet and furniture old and on last legs, TV system is all wrong, the tv that is there needs to be upgraded to a SMART TV. Smell of damp downstairs was overpowering however read previous comments and we brought an electric air freshener which helped massively as all the plug ins were empty of any perfumes. Hallway again first impressions carpet and walls need an overhaul. Bedroom main no issues there Bathroom ok Didnât use the top floor as only two of us. Decking no issues. We had the dehumidifier on and must have emptied twice a day helped with the damp smell. Overall it served the purpose for us however it is tiered and requires investment.

Everything worked perfectly (once we'd figured out how to use the hob)âºï¸ There is a slight smell of damp downstairs which apparently is quite common in these cottages. Steep stairs not good for people with mobility problems. Overall we had a lovely stay and would recommend.

Sadly the accommodation was extremely damp to the point that when I stripped the beds I discovered the pillows were mouldy. Very disappointing and not what I expected considering the cost of the rental. The three stars are purely for the location NOT the accommodation.
