The website would not accept payment. We telephoned and we’re helped to pay by a very patient assistant. We would use john Bray again . Port Issac and port Gaverne, places we have been visiting for 30 years, were most disappointing. They were deserted, both pubs were closed and there was nowhere to eat out. The fish mongers was closed and the village completely deserted!! Thank god for the coop store!! We have visited many time in January but will not do so again after this experience.

Thank you for taking the time to feedback on your stay and that you found White Horses to be comfortable and well positioned. We're very sorry that you experienced difficulties in paying but are pleased you had assistance in this matter and hopefully going forward the process will not cause any further problems. We are sorry to hear there was a lack of places open in January this was probably due to staffing issues due to Covid. We hope to be able to welcome you back to North Cornwall in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“Bijou but very pleasant accommodation, beautifully situated - easy walk to both Ports Isaac and Gaverne.”

Onsite parking, as always, a godsend. Had everything we needed for a lovely holiday, and views over the bay were gorgeous. Couple of suggestions, if we may. The remote for the BT box wasn't working (we'd brought our own Roku stick, so it wasn't an issue for us, but might be for others). And might it be possible to fashion some sort of lock for the bin? We only had one small waste bag to put out at the end of the stay, as we recycled everything, but another property had used the White Horses bin for their own rubbish and it was rammed full. Finally, a storage bin or shelf in the bathrooms would be a big help. Other than these minor points, we would definitely go again and have no hesitation in recommending White Horses and John Bray. Thanks!

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to hear that you had such a lovely time at White Horses. All feedback and suggestions are gratefully received so thank you for taking the time to let us know. We will look into a lock for the bins as I can understand how frustrating this must be. We hope to welcome you back to north Cornwall in the future. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“The cottage was beautifully clean and the welcome bag was a lovely touch.”

The only comment I’d make is that it would be nice to either have a shelf or cupboard in the shower room as there’s no where to put your toiletries,otherwise I’d say a lovely stay.

“The bushes in the garden need to be cut back.”

When sitting in the garden they take up at least 6 foot of space and restrict seating. In addition the bees and wasps around the Bush make enjoying the sun unpleasant. Also the dvd player didn't work and the remote for the BT box was faulty.

“The holiday rental was in a perfect position and was comfortable for the stay.”

It was not the cleanest when we arrived and so the first thing I did was to clean with the products that I had brought with me. I also believe that having cleaned the house the day that we left it was certainly cleaner than when we arrived. However the facilities that it provided inside the property were good and the kitchen was equipped with everything that we needed. I am looking forward to returning to this property.

“Thanks for another wonderful week in our favourite place.”

We cannot thank you enough for the proactive approach you took to our stay to ensure we had a wonderful stay. Thank you for this and I think we found a new favourite house. There is a reason why we stay with you every year. Thanks for what you do!

“Thank you for a wonderful holiday, White Horses was the most perfect place to stay - wonderful position very comfortable more than enough room for the 4 of us that stayed there.”

Port Isaac is such an idyllic place to stay, we found people so warm and friendly with great places to eat - I think we tried most of them but the one we fell in love with was the school restaurant The food was excellent, the staff looked after us and treated us to Cornish hospitality. Please do not change anything - waiting in anticipation for November so we can book for next year, our countdown begins thank you all so much.

“I am sure there is nothing we found in Port Isaac itself that you do not already know about.”

However, we really must sing the praises of the Cream Teas available in the Terrace Tearooms in Tintagel Terrace. The proprietors, Bev and Steve, have got so much right from a really hospitable welcome and wonderfully dry sense of humour to the thoughtful way real leaf Tregothnan tea is served and the outstanding quality of the scones themselves. Our other local discovery of note is the Fishernans Friends concert on the Platt. We did not know about these last year and are so glad we managed to catch the last one of the season on the evening we arrived. Truly wonderful entertainment in exactly the correct context. For your visitors travelling further afield, we would particularly recommend both The Shed and Mad Hatters in Wadebridge for coffee, lunch and afternoon teas and also the Harbour Cafe in Boscastle, for more or less the same.

About the location

PORT ISAAC

Polzeath 6 miles; Padstow 9 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. 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.
