What our customers say about their holidays

  We loved the house, and have had a lovely holiday, but a couple of things that got missed.

  . The oven had something spilt on the glass door which we couldnt get off.. It was there when we arrived. Grill had grated cheese still in the tray and on the wire and had to be washed before it could be used. There is a white mark on the work top which was hidden under the kettle. It was already there. The floors weren't very clean. They should have been mopped and we could see dog fur on the bottom our shoes/slippers. For the owners to maybe see if these things mentioned below can be rectified The windows in the lounge upstairs don't open very far and in hot weather it will be very uncomfortable to sit in there because it would be very hot Back door is very badly fitted. Tremendous draughts when it's very windy and makes it very cold. You can actually see daylight from inside the house. Windows in the bedroom to the left of the front door do not fit very well. When windy the blinds move & it's draughty. The toilet brush is also not clean &  needs to be replaced.. A couple of mornings it was quite chilly, but we never worked out how to turn the radiators on in the en suite bathrooms? Car parking is tight. For one car it's OK, but for two it might be challenging and if one or more is an SUV could be very difficult. There is a car park about 150yds away, but you will have to pay. But it was lovely place to stay, with a cafe & restaurants outside the front door, people are very friendly ; they shut about 10.00pm and we never heard a thing. It is walking distance along the coastal path or down the steep roads into the village with a few shops, restaurants & pubs. All in all lovely quiet holiday destination, but those with mobility issues may find it difficult.

  'A really beautiful holiday cottage situated at top of Port Isaac & equidistant to Port Gaverne.

  Excellently situated with the luxury of 2 car parking spaces!. Wonderfully designed interior to make the most of the building...3 bath/shower rooms to compliment the 3 bedrooms which were all extremely comfortable & with lovely crisp white linen. The owners appear to have thought of everything & we appreciated the seating area at end of hallway to take off shoes etc to deposit in the Shoe Box to make everything tidy & easily accessible. Loved the kitchen, which is extremely spacious & exceptionally well equipped as was the living room which was cosy & comfortable with many cushions & throws. We didn't need to use the log burner as the sun shone for 7 days, but a great addition for those who may have cooler weather. First grandson appreciated the many birds who frequented the next door garden (aged 12 months) & provided aerial displays for us first thing in the morning~ He was mesmerised. We really liked the star lights in the kitchen! We have stayed in many cottages in Port Isaac, over the years & Pendragon House is outstanding, certainly one of the best. Thankyou for a wonderful week away~ We had a great time visiting Padstow, Mevagissey, Charlestown, St.Ives, Eden & Polzeath & enjoyed many walks around the harbour. Dinner @ The Mote House by the harbour in Port Isaac is highly recommended by my son & partner who enjoyed it immensely. Doc Martin is currently on Location Shooting & there are a few familiar faces around & about. We noted the Director of Doc Martin stayed for a lengthy period @ Pendragon & there is an interesting file in the cottage to peruse. Overall, 5 * ~Thanks again! We would definitely rebook & highly recommend. The Langmans' Sheffield S.Yorkshire'.

  We absolutely loved our stay at The Old Dormitory, we have stayed in many places but this was right up there. We were really looking forward to the break, and upon arrival, the house and the view just blew us away. Luckily we had great weather so could spend time outside and being so close to the beach was perfect for taking our dog on his morning walk, then having the shower and hose facilities in the garden to wash down after our beach walks was perfect. The house itself had everything we needed and was so comfortable. The living room and main bedroom had the fabulous views of the beach/sea. Also being so close to the RNLI we had the opportunity to watch the hovercraft and team go out on their training session. Being so close to the walkway to the beach and the cafe, there was more noise than we are used to, but we really liked it, it just had a bit more of a buzz about it. Having the outside canopy and heater allowed us to sit outside late at night and enjoy our evenings in the fresh air without being cold. The only thing that would make it perfect would be to have more comfortable outside furniture to sit on. We will definitely be returning to The Old Dormitory, loved every minute.

  I booked a week at Timber Barn for my wife's Birthday, and as a surprise arranged for our extended family to stay as well.

  The property is huge, and easily swallowed all 10 of us, with plenty of kit for our cooking needs. Even in mid-February, the hot tub was enjoyed by many, and it even lights up at night (bring your cozzies to check it out!) The tennis court was also used several times, although some of us found out we weren't as young as we used to be! Although the property is on a working farm, the goings-on were not obtrusive, and didn't hinder our enjoyment, and once they had gone home for the day, the afternoons and evenings were so wonderfully quiet. We didn't explore the area too much as the break was really to spend time with family, but there is enough to do and see within short drives. If I had to be really picky (and I know that's why you read these reviews, right?) the only thing I would say is that some of the furniture was a little uncomfortable if seated for a long time, but it wasn't too much of an issue. We had a fabulous week at the barn, and would highly recommend a stay. Thanks Zigi.
