  • "We had a lovely second stay at Cartway Cove."

    However, a couple of things we were slightly disappointed with. Firstly, when paying premium rates for the summer holidays, I don't believe it right we should have to provide our own towels and bedding. Not just that, but when we arrived the last people's bedding was on the doorstep and ours was no-where to be seen. We had paid an additional cost to hire bedding and I then spent the first hour of my holiday frantically trying to contact people to find out what had happened before offices closed for the weekend at 5pm. Eventually our bedding arrived and we then had to make all the beds! Again, when paying a lot of money for a week's stay, I don't see how this can be justified. Also, the tap was leaking in the kitchen and there was a loose slab in the garden as well. There was a Maintenance Man there when we first arrived but these don't appear to have been looked at. Overall we had a brilliant week as always, and it wouldn't put us off staying again, but these are points I wanted to mention.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by these issues. The decision to not include linen as part of the rental is down to the owners and is done so to keep the cost of the holiday down. We appreciate the frustration however. We are glad that 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.

  • "With the great reviews, our expectations were high but we were not disappointed."

    Thoughtfully equipped and tastefully decorated, with some beautiful art. Special mention for the wonderfully powerful shower. Ground floor bedroom and stunning views from open plan living room were a bonus with a less able mother in law. Perfectly placed a short walk from relatively bustling Port Isaac and its tasty restaurants but far enough away to feel secluded. Scenic coastal path is literally on the doorstep, whilst quiet Port Gaverne allows an outdoor drink at pub or award winning restaurant, with sheltered cove for rock jumping or SUP with the teenagers at high tides. All in all a wonderful week, so we will be back. Thank you

    Thank you so much for your comments. We love hearing just how much you enjoyed your stay! Hopefully we can welcome you back anytime in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

  • "What a wonderful property."

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciate all of the effort it takes in making sure everything is just right for guests. Simply stunning location and we were made to feel very comfortable. Days spent exploring the amazing Cornish beaches and evenings star gazing and walking around the famous Port Isaac. We were two adults and three children ( 17,15 11) and the space was perfect of us all. The only negatives are the checkout time - 9.00 am is way to early post Covid and no linen included. Missing the views already and looking forward to a return visit.

    We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Cartway Cove so much. We are sorry if the check out was too early for you (it is actually 09.30) but this is especially necessary in peak season to allow cleaning and maintenance to take place. 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

  • "Had a wonderful stay with my sons."

    The cottage was in a perfect location, with on the doorstep coastal walks. Port Isaac was only a short walk away too. Enjoyed meals and drinks at the two local restaurants in Port Gaverne. Cottage had breathtaking views. My only request would be include the linen and towels, apart from that it was really superb stay !

    But the location and house is gorgeous and we had a wonderful time. Linen shld be provided for the price. Key wasn’t in safe when we arrived so we waited an hour and 9am is waaay too early for departure COVid or no COVid. You shld seriously adjust that and make arrangements accordingly. Lack of staff is not an excuse. All that said we would revisit in a heartbeat. Thank you Jonathan and Jane

  • "Having stayed here 10 years ago, it was wonderful to come back and enjoy the cottage with its superb aspect."

    The new ensuite in the main bedroom (while not essential) is a welcome addition. A really lovely week! I think if there was one minus, it would be that the frying pans all seem to have lost their 'non-stick' ability. With such a well equipped kitchen it's great to be able to cook from home on occasion, but I think the frying pans have all seen better days. As I say, a very small minus which in no way detracted from the holiday!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to send in your comments, we are delighted that you had a wonderful time. We have passed on your comments regarding the frying pans to the owners of the property . We would love to welcome you back in the future.

    No bed linen was delivered and we had to go to the John Bray office to collect- after 4.30 on a Friday when most staff had gone home. We were given the incorrect linen and had to return the next day to exchange! Not impressed! Apart from that we had a lovely week and the house was very comfortable.

  • "I have emailed a response a couple of times directly to an email sent to us with the details of the cottage , hoping for a direct reply but obviously no one checks or reads them."

    This is a fantastic property sadly let down on this occasion by very dirty stained pillows . Food deposits left under sofas from previous guests and 'nasty' bits left in the spare bedroom which I could hazard a guess at but didn't want to repeat! Who would leave this is beyond me! The living room had numerous cobwebs and some of the utensils were dirty. The BBQ had been left dirty and used .I'm sure the owners would be quite disappointed . Especially in these 'pandemic' times we expected a bit of extra care .

    Thank you for your feedback, we are so sorry that the cleanliness was not up to our usual standards but we have reported this to our caretaking team to rectify in the future. We hope we can welcome you back in the future! - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

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 dramatic Doyden Castle, the beautiful Lundy Bay and the famous Doc Martin's clinic. 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.
