“A lovely cottage for our week away by the seaside.”

Comfortable beds and furniture, it had a very well equipped kitchen which made cooking at home very easy. Good wifi which was essential as there is no phone signal at all in Port Isaac. The cottage has an enclosed garden which was great for our dogs but it’s a shame more isn’t made of it and it was looking a bit neglected. Port Isaac itself is lovely and some great places to eat plus a well stocked coop meaning we didn’t have to use our car much. We were aware there was no parking ...

Port Isaac itself is lovely and some great places to eat plus a well stocked coop meaning we didn’t have to use our car much. We were aware there was no parking included but with the cottage, but it would have been helpful to have some advice on parking with the other pre-booking information as it was extremely limited and the carparks are very busy and expensive and when you stay for a week or more.

“Having stayed in various properties in Port, Sea Holly Cottage is our favourite to date.”

The property is well placed in the village. The cottage is characterful with original slate floors, original floorboards and log burner. The living room was a good size and comfortable. The master bedroom was spacious, with plenty of storage and a comfy mattress. The bathroom looks pretty new and is modern with a nice shower. The kitchen is modern and well equipped with crockery, etc. There is a table top freezer in a cupboard but the ice box in the fridge could do with defrosting. We stayed during the September heatwave so really appreciated the patio, which was an absolute sun trap. The plant area could do with a trim, it’s quite overgrown and around the front needs a little attention due to mud, leaves, etc. That said we had a wonderful week and will be back.

“We all enjoyed our stay at Sea Holly Cottage ,it was very cozy ,clean and all the fixtures and fittings were all of good quality.”

The only thing we would suggest would be a fence fixed to the low wall in the back garden or a gate separating the lower level garden.As our two dogs joined us on our holiday ,we were unable to let them out in the garden off of their leads as the wall was so low one of the dogs escaped . The path to the front of the cottage could do with a clean up ,very soggy and slippery. Apart from that all was good. Kind regards Marilyn

“Overall good cottage, beds were comfortable, but would benefit from a more thorough clean.”

Garden and front of the house could do with a tidy up. We also had to pick dog mess up left from previous occupants.

- Audrey, July 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback. We will take a closer look at the garden and front of the house, we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“The cottage itself was comfortable.”

The cleaning was a bit disappointing. On the surface it looked acceptable but the furniture had never been moved in months and was thick with dust under the couches and tables. The outside area was very untidy and looked like it is hardly maintained.

- Rachel, June 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed the cottage and the issues you had with cleaning will be bought to the attention of our housekeepers. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner Property Owner
Liz May 2023

“We had a fabulous time.”

The only thing that I would mention is that the garden is described as enclosed but the wall on the right hand side is very low with a big drop the other side so our dog nearly escaped several times. I also think that it may be a bit dangerous for very small children. Maybe some trellis could be added to make it more secure.

“Property is well located in a lovely part of Port Isaac, with easy access to everything the village has to offer.”

It was clean, with plenty of storage, spacious and nicely decorated. To make it even better, how about a dishwasher, cleaning up the outside entrance way (leaves and mud), and tidying some of the cupboard contents away. The steps in the garden seem unfinished? We couldn't get the oven to work (could be broken?).

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on your recent stay at sea holly cottage, we will speak to the owner about these points, but we do hope to welcome you back to North Cornwall. John Brays on behalf of the owners. Property Owner

“A lovely cosy cottage with brilliant views.”

Would highly recommend.

Hannah February 2023

“There were quite a few issues with the property itself, largely down to cleanliness and lack of maintenance over the previous months - which meant when we arrived it did not reflect the pictures we saw online and hence were expecting.”

That said, John Bray were faultless in how quickly and thoroughly they dealt with the issues - so we will definitely book through them again, just unfortunately not this particular cottage.

- Hannah, February 2023

Thank you for taking the time to feedback on your stay. We're very sorry that you had to experience these issues during your visit but thank you for your patience and understanding whilst we sorted them for you. Your comments have been passed on to the team at John Bray Cornish Holidays to investigate. We hope to welcome you back to north Cornwall in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

James July 2022

“Nice little property, just the right size for our group of four with dogs.”

Stocked well with all utensils and crockery we would need. Port Isaac was lovely, being able to walk down the hill to the local pub and sit out in the harbour whilst the dogs had a good run around. Parking was not a major issue as there were normally spaces free when we came back to the house daily (after 18:00)..

“Beautiful little cottage but needed a good clean .”

Shower blocked up and nearly overflowed. Mould on the inside of cubicle . Cobwebs and dust in lounge and bedrooms .

Rachel May 2022

“We absolutely loved our stay, as did our dog!”

The bed was so comfortable, we slept better than at home. The only thing we looked for but didn’t find was a dishwasher but that’s a luxury rather than a necessity! The broadband was rather intermittent but as we live in a very rural area with similar issues that was also no problem really

“We really loved our stay at Sea Holly cottage.”

Well positioned in Port Isaac with a lovely aspect. It was so comfortable with care taken over details in the decor, which we appreciated and made it very homely. A really well equipped kitchen also. Nice quality. Beautiful slate flag stones which made it practical for the dog. Would just like to mention the lovely rug in the sitting room could do with some tlc. That's my only quibble. Overall a brilliant place to have a relaxing holiday.

- Jane, November 2021

Thank you so much for taking your time to provide us with your feedback, following your stay at Sea Holly cottage. It really is great to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. I have asked for the rug in the sitting room to be looked at to see what we can do to it. We hope to welcome you back next year for another relaxing holiday! – John Bray Cornish Holiday’s on behalf of the owners. Property Owner

“Lovely cottage in a great position within Port Isaac with lovely views from back of house down to village.”

However, cottage could do with a really good deep clean and some TLC.

- Stuart, September 2021

It is great to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Sea Holly Cottage. The property has been booked for a deep clean ready for another busy season. We do hope to see you again next year – John Bray Cornish Holiday’s on behalf of the owners. Property Owner

Sea Holly Cottage is very well maintained and is very clean & cosy (we felt at home as soon as we walked in!!). The car park is close by as well as restaurants and shops. We would highly recommend and will hopefully book again soon. Thank you.

The property

Sea Holly Cottage is gorgeous, well appointed holiday cottage located in the beautiful Port Isaac, with romantic countryside views of the North Cornwall coast. Family and dog-friendly, this beautiful cottage has a pretty enclosed south facing garden along with a sheltered patio area that is perfect for dining alfresco, making the most of the fresh Cornish air and the sounds of the busy harbour. Filled with character details throughout, Sea Holly Cottage sleeps 4 guests comfortably in 2 bedrooms with a shower room. Situated within walking distance of both Port Isaac harbour, Port Gaverne beach and breathtaking coastal paths, this self-catering property also welcomes up to 2 well behaved pets. The main living area oozes charm with some contemporary hints and plenty of seating for guests to put their feet after a long day tackling those coastal paths. The wonderful old slate flooring in the kitchen, along with a double oven, hob and large dining table, offers a stylish and practical room in which to cook up wonderful sea-food dishes fresh from the fishmongers in the village. With the option of a breakfast table in the kitchen, and patio furniture there are plenty of places to enjoy a lazy breakfast, light lunch or an indulgent afternoon cream tea. Adults will enjoy lighting the open fire in the living room and relaxing with a glass of wine or a good book, while children and teens will relax in the garden or challenge each other to a garden game. With a generous size double room and a further twin bedroom, the property offers flexible accommodation for a couples or a small family sharing. Port Isaac is a vibrant fishing village on the stunning North coast of Cornwall and Sea Holly Cottage is well placed to take advantage of all the local amenities on offer; head out with your dog on bracing walks along the stunning coastal paths, book into michelin star restaurants and proper Cornish pubs for a pint of locally brewed ale, or enjoy salty fish and chips huddled on the harbour wall. You can also sing along with the Fisherman's Friends on Friday evenings, or mooch about the galleries, shops and winding streets to your heart's content. If you are looking to add a spot of sailing or waterskiing to your activities then head to nearby Rock, while surfers in your party may prefer to hang ten on perfect waves at nearby Trebarwith Strand and Polzeath beach. For lazy days and beach picnics with young children, we recommend Daymer Bay with is clear sheltered waters. With so much on offer, the choice is yours.

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.
