    “House hadn’t been prepared for arrival of guests.”

    Nothing was turned on! Didn’t realise there was no hot water until came to wash up at 10pm! Hunted everywhere for boiler and only found a large hot water tank which of course was switched off at wall. No instruction manual for house supplied. Email confirming booking said emergency contacts and full information for house would be available on logging into account- it wasn’t! This is a quick fix. John Bray’s number in Rock had recorded message giving Sykes number in Cheshire! To be fair ...

    Nothing was turned on! Didn’t realise there was no hot water until came to wash up at 10pm! Hunted everywhere for boiler and only found a large hot water tank which of course was switched off at wall. No instruction manual for house supplied. Email confirming booking said emergency contacts and full information for house would be available on logging into account- it wasn’t! This is a quick fix. John Bray’s number in Rock had recorded message giving Sykes number in Cheshire! To be fair Christine called back and was very helpful. Told me someone local who knew the property would call. Received a text but man didn’t know property and asked if there was a heat pump outside- quite ridiculous! However he sent a plumber at 8.30 next morning - Steve Goodman who was brilliant. Of course all this could have been avoided if local team had done their job and made the house ready or house manual supplied or Sykes’s website updated with full information. Basic stuff. Have stayed here many times and never had any problems- I hope owners see this as they are being let down.

    Thank you for your detailed feedback, we are so sorry to hear about the issues you experienced on arrival. This is certainly not the standard we aim to deliver and we completely appreciate how frustrating this must have been, especially after a long journey. Your comments have been fed back directly to our local team to ensure that pre-arrival checks are carried out thoroughly and consistently. We are also reviewing the availability of house information and contact details to make sure this is clear, accurate, and easily accessible to guests going forward. We truly value your continued stays at the property, and I’m very sorry that on this occasion we fell short. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to provide you with the seamless experience you’ve previously enjoyed in the future. Property Owner

The property

1 Tintagel is a wonderful, spacious end-terrace cottage in a quiet location at the top of the village of Port Isaac, Cornwall.

Stylishly and tastefully decorated and recently refurbished throughout with the rooms at the back of the property enjoying superb sea and coastal views towards Tintagel Head, which makes this self-catering property a wonderful, seaside treat for a family of six.

The property is accompanied by private parking, whilst also offering a front garden, in which you can enjoy a moment of relaxation with a coffee on a sunny morning.

The kitchen/diner is not only well-presented, but generously proportioned and offers a good selection of appliances; a vintage butcher's block also gives an interesting contrast to the contemporary feel of the bespoke fittings.

The dining room has plenty of space for 6 to eat in comfort and features a stunning wall mural.

Relax in the comfortable sitting room to soak up gorgeous sea views and light the fire on a chilly evening.

For quiet moments enjoy a book in the sun room leading directly to the charming garden.

Before bed, freshen up in the ground-floor shower room, where a refreshing rinse can be enjoyed after a fun-filled day.

Upstairs, a double bedroom enjoys a stunning ensuite bathroom with a free standing bath, where you can luxuriate in the gorgeous sea views right from the tub.

Two further rooms, one double and one twin, share a second bathroom, accessed via steps up from a half landing, that also enjoys sea views.

The back garden is sunny and includes a table for dining as well as a comfy sofa from which to enjoy the views with a firepit to keep off any evening chills.

This property is perfectly placed between the old historic village of Port Isaac and the charming cove at Port Gaverne which is ideal for a morning swim.

Port Isaac holidays allow visitors to appreciate the beauty and history of this bustling fishing village, which is nestled between towering cliffs and lovely bays.

Join the coast path for a strenuous hike to Port Quinn, a tranquil bay maintained by the National Trust that is ideal for swimming and kayaking at high tide.

Accompany a coasteering group for a guided tour of coves and cliffs nearby at Port Gaverne, or just paddle or swim at this pebbly beach.

On a quiet day, go out onto 'The Main,' a cliff to the right of the beach with a wonderful view of the coastline and rocks below, a fantastic picnic site.

A picturesque drive will take you to Polzeath Beach, famous for surfing and bodyboarding; Daymer Bay, with its calm seas ideal for little children; or Rock, famed for its various water activities including sailing and water skiing, with a foot ferry to Padstow.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.

Note: The private & designated parking space is a short distance from the property and is on a very small grass slope, there is slight chance of it being slippery when it rains.

Note: The gardening at the property is done every few weeks on a weekday by trusted private contractors. They will need to gain access to the garden through the house. If you would prefer this not to happen during your stay, please contact the office
