    “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 ...

    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.

The property

*NEW MASTER BEDROOM EN-SUITE FOR 2021* Cartaway Cove is set in a divine clifftop position surrounded by its own gardens.

Outstanding panoramic sea views, over the valley, Port Gaverne and Port Isaac can be enjoyed from this idyllic self-catering holiday cottage.

With its southerly aspect soaking up all available sunshine and located just a step off the glorious South West coastal path, it is ideal for holidaying all year round.

Cartway Cove is only a few minutes walk to the seashore and 17th century Port Gaverne Inn and is a perfect seaside retreat for a large family sleeping 6 in 3 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms & Master bedroom en-suite A large west-facing window takes advantage of spectacular sunsets over the sea.

Make use of the garden furniture on the slate paved terrace for family meals on warm days whilst soaking up the sun and sea air.

Children will love the pretty little summerhouse where young homemakers can play imaginary games.

A wooden decked balcony joins the colourful kitchen/dining /living room and there are squidgy sofas to relax on, if the weather draws you inside.

There's a King size bed on the first floor, with zip and link twin beds on the ground floor which can be converted to form a very sizeable Super King bed and a third bedroom with a double and single bed.Port Gaverne is now a tranquil and unspoilt cove, but evidence of an industrious past is evident in the building and structures all round; from loading lime-rich sea sand and pilchards, then transportation of slate and finally simply a peaceful spot for locals and visitors to enjoy.

The coastal path from the beach uses the road briefly at Cartway Cove then follows the the dramatic cliffs drop down onto Trebarwith Strand which is a serious and arduous walk, not for the faint hearted but a fantastic challenge for seasoned walkers.

Trebarwith Strand, less than a 20-minute drive away, is a popular surfing spot at any time of the year.

In the other direction Polzeath is another boogie-boarding and surfing destination and only a 15-minute drive away.Ground Floor Open Plan Living/Dining Room/Kitchen, Bed 2: 3ft zip & link twins or Super King size (6' x 6'6), Bed 3: Double bed and single bed, Bath/W.C., Shower/W.C., Utility room The bed configuration will be made up as per the description.

If you require the beds to be made up differently, please inform us at least 7 days prior to your arrival date. First Floor: Bed 1: King Size bed (5ft) en-suite bathroom Sorry No Pets.

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.
