“Beautiful setting with gorgeous sea views, the accommodation is set out very nicely, the sun room is perfect to sit and relax to watch the world go by.”

The interior of the property is decorated to a high standard and is very comfortable. Our only criticism is it was too warm in there with the heating set at a controlled setting which we could not alter. But that is just a personal preference and I suppose it depends on the weather.

The interior of the property is decorated to a high standard and is very comfortable. Our only criticism is it was too warm in there with the heating set at a controlled setting which we could not alter. But that is just a personal preference and I suppose it depends on the weather. Would definitely recommend this property. Beautiful costal walks all within easy reach, lots of places to eat and drink, the mote was a favourite where you could just sit and unwind, the food was great, if you fancy something more expensive then Nathan Outlaws seemed really busy all the time, personally we did not try as we ran out of time, but will definitely try next time, If pizza is your thing then the angry anchovy has to be the best pizza we have ever tried. Booking and ordering is recommended.Although you could walk into the mote for a drink, I would recommend booking a table as it does get busy especially if you want food. All in all a brilliant holiday and one place we will return to.

“Great location, comfortable beds, the conservatory at the front meant we could sit and watch the the sea even when raining.”

It would have been even better if there was some very sheer blinds so we could also have a midday snooze without our neighbours seeing us. A small chair in the front bedroom would be very useful to sit and look out . The fridge was off when we arrived which I hadn't realised until the next morning. All that said a great holiday. Thank you..

“The property was in a wonderful location looking out to sea, and convenient to the small coastal town of Port Issac.”

It was very clean and very well equipped with all that you would need for a self catering holiday. The finish and furnishings in the cottage were of a very high standard too. We had a lovely week staying at Cockleshell and would recommend it .

“The house was very warm and with set controlled temperatures difficult to deal with.”

We appreciate the weather became warmer but no means of turning the temperatures down. Locking windows in an open position would be good as anyone could have got into the property when windows were open at night, peace of mind when sleeping.

- Carolyn, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback. I am really sorry for the issues you encountered during your stay, we hope it did not spoil your holiday. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

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.
