Description

Stoptide is a delightful holiday cottage with parking for one car located in the beautiful cove of Port Gaverne, just around the corner from the traditional fishing village of Port Isaac. Sleeping five guests in three cosy bedrooms with one bathroom, this is the ideal bolthole for a small family or group of friends who want to explore the incredible North Cornish coast.

The semi-detached property has everything you need for a seaside holiday. The open plan living, dining and kitchen area offers a great social space to enjoy time with family or friends and has access to the private enclosed patio. Bask in the summer sunshine with a Cornish cream tea, sink into comfortable sofas with a book or play board games after a day discovering the area. All three bedrooms can be found on the first floor which includes; the master bedroom with a king-size bed, the twin bedroom and a futher single bedroom. A newly fitted family bathroom with a bath, shower and WC is also found on the first floor.

Port Gaverne is a charming unspoilt Cornish cove that boasts stunning valley and coastal walks. Straight from Stoptide's door, take just a one-minute walk to the beach and restaurants including Pilchards Café for some contemporary fish and chips or for more of a traditional style, the Port Gaverne Inn. For water enthusiasts try some paddle boarding or kayaking in the crystal blue water and at low tide go rock pooling. Don’t let the hill up to Port Isaac worry you as there is a convenient public tuk-tuk ferrying customers between Pilchards Café and the Stargazy Inn where you can admire the coastal views while sampling delicious local food and drink. A short drive away you will reach surfing haven Polzeath beach, Rock village on the Camel Estuary and the calm waters of Daymer Bay. All the best that North Cornwall has to offer!

It was a beautiful cottage in a lovely location, within the house there was everything we needed and it was very comfortable.

The only negative was the outside patio garden and furniture, which I needed to sweep and then clean the table before we could use it. The broken post light and the broken washing line, which I think had already been reported. None of this detracted from a lovely holiday and we would return.

A lovely cottage in an ideal place, near to a beach, great pub in Port Gaverne and a short walk to Port Isaac.

Great furnishings and fabulous kitchen and bathroom. A little tidy up in the garden is needed and the garden light is broken and a trip hazard. It would be very helpful to have some basic things provided. Kitchen towel, salt and pepper more than two very small toilet rolls. Some cottages leave a starter basket with local eggs, milk, bread and some wine. After a long journey it would be much appreciated. Or in the description indicate that nothing is supplied and we could bring the basics rather than have to do a big shop. We had a great week in Stop Tide, the above points are not meant to be critical just helpful to other guests.

Our third visit to Stop Tide and equally enjoyed as our previous stays.

An idyllic setting to relax, chill and enjoy all the local area has to offer, highly recommended. There are small areas that are showing wear, largely exterior, plant pots disintegrating, broken light and washing line, oh and many spiders to accompany you throughout the home, nothing to spoil our stay however X
