“Another excellent stay at Cartway Cabin, all was in good order, exactly as last time.”

It is wonderful to see the little garden develop, the seedums and agapanthus are perfect. Really appreciate these touches. Also, a massive thank you to all at John Bray who helped deal with my forgotten (and very valuable) luggage. It arrived today and I am extremely grateful that this was dealt with so swiftly and carefully. We will be booking again!

“This was a hidden gem!”

It was lovely to have a quiet spot with beautiful views and withing walking distance of Port Isaac. The cabin was beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely go again and highly recommend! Thank you

“The small house is built and furnished to a very high standard with love.”

We felt very good there. The location is great and very quiet. The beds are unfortunately not good, because in the bedroom downstairs very small for 2 people (about 1.30m wide) and upstairs only suitable for very small persons like children.

- Ulrich Antonius, July 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime in the future. Our apologies the beds were not to your liking, this has been noted. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

“Lovely cosy little cabin perfect for one or two would be difficult with two couples due to the issues discussed elsewhere with only one toilet off the Master bedroom.”

I was very fortunate with the weather and the patio was very nice for doing yoga in the morning. A Sun lounger would’ve been nice. All in all Good value for money.

- Gwen, May 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such wonderful feedback with us, we will make sure we share it with the owners. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Cartway Cabin and made the most of the beautiful weather. We really appreciate your thoughts and look forward to welcoming you back hopefully soon.

“'Position is good.”

Outside deck south facing so sunny and with great view of Gaverne valley. Compact space but good for a couple but not 2 couples. Reason is bathroom only accessible from ground floor bedroom. Obvious problems therefore if toilet needed during nightime. The use of lights on, doors creaking, ceiling light on cord pull that clicks, flushing cistern, embarrassing noises etc, all this will wake up the couple in bed who might not even have been sleeping anyway! Could all be very awkward and takes privacy and intimacy away. The listing states there is a fridge and on next line a fridge/freezer. There is no photo of it on the restricted pics available. In actual fact there is only a fridge below worktop with a small top freezer box. Ok for fishfingers but not if you take frozen food with you, as we do so as to avoid cooking to much. There are no cupboards to store food so it all has to be clogging worktop space. New fridge would be good due to the door tray falling out every time its opened so milk & wine etc hits the floor. Wall cupboard to left of sink easy to fit for food storage'.

“Good location for access to Port Gaverne and Port Isaac .”

Steep climbs but lovely walks . Had all we needed for the 2 of us for the week . Nice design and layout . Having parking is a bonus in this area. Only downsides were no upper bracket to have a shower . Clothes line falling apart . Garden is a wilderness overgrown with weeds and thistles . The Cartway Cove next door has beautifully presented gardens . With a little T L C to the outside area this could be perfect .

“This was a lovely cottage in a extremely picturesque location.”

Only a short walk down to the harbour and then on to Port Issac. The only two comments were; the shower, you had to sit down in the bath to have a shower! Quite a few previous customers have commented on this before. The garden, we felt like the poor neighbours compared to the house next door with their lovely lawns. I am all for the wild garden but just a little tidy up along the path and the front of the decking would have been good. I would have done it myself if there had been some shears left. However would definitely recommend this cabin for comfort and location.

“We loved our holiday experience at Cartway Cabin.”

The property is in a gorgeous spot and, once our legs were acclimatised to the hilly terrain, the walks into Port Isaac and along the coastal path were really enjoyable. The Cabin was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The ladder to the mezzanine bedroom was very steep and should be highlighted in the description. We look forward to a return visit

“This was a very nice cottage and we loved staying there.”

However it is short of storage space and you should advise clients to use soft luggage rather than suitcases particularly if there is a party of 4 in the family. There is nowhere to store food and the owner might consider putting another cupboard to the left of the sink.

The property

This immaculate, cosy little self-catering cottage is located just uphill from Port Gaverne, a10 minute walk to picturesque Port Isaac and a few yards from the coastal path. With underfloor heating and a warm wood panelled interior this is a romantic and splendid holiday retreat, accommodating 4 people in 2 bedrooms with one bathroom. There is a parking space for one car; please note that the driveway is shared with Cartway Cove, the next door house.The sitting room's high, vaulted ceiling has a spacious feel and has lovely rural and hilltop views over Port Gaverne valley; south-facing French windows open onto a private wooden deck with outdoor table and bench; a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the view. The kitchen has the luxury of a Delabole slate worktop and has all the equipment you need for creating a delicious summer salad or fish supper. Overlooking the sitting room is a gallery with built-in ladder, safety gate and full width curtains to provide a second bedroom with rural views. We recommend this room is used for two people over the age of eight. A charming porthole window gives sea views.This peaceful and tranquil spot near Port Gaverne, is nevertheless conveniently close to Polzeath and Trebarwith Strand beaches, both great for sunbathing, surfing and boogie boarding. Those who like to swim will prefer the gentler waves at Port Gaverne, Daymer Bay and Port Quin, a serene cove just south of Port Isaac. For an adventure, join a coasteering group here for guided exploration of the rocks and caves. With the South West coast path just across the road, stride out with a picnic and walk the breathtaking cliffs and valleys, covered with colourful wildflowers in May, there are sometimes moorland ponies grazing at Epphaven.Accommodation: Open plan Living/Dining Room/Kitchen area, sea view from dining area, Bedroom 1: double bed with en-suite bathroom, Gallery Bedroom 2: twin beds, sea view 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.

Please note, this property does not include bed linen or towels. You are welcome to bring your own with you, or you can hire from Kalu linen hub, who will deliver your order to your holiday cottage. Orders need to be placed at least one week prior to your arrival and please ensure to check the bed configurations of your holiday cottage; especially, where zip and link beds are supplied, as you will need to let them know whether you will be using them as a twin or super king.
Kalu can be contacted via 01208881029/ 07835784577/ 07597915480.
