    “We had lovely week at Creel Cottage, using it as a base whilst visiting other towns and villages.”

    As with previous reviews the property would benefit from some minor repairs, mainly stiff or broken window catches and there is a plentiful supply of spiders and their associated cobwebs but nothing to worry about and something that could be picked during the changeover cleaning process. The cottage is quite dark during the day as shutters have been installed which do reduce the daylight.

    As with previous reviews the property would benefit from some minor repairs, mainly stiff or broken window catches and there is a plentiful supply of spiders and their associated cobwebs but nothing to worry about and something that could be picked during the changeover cleaning process. The cottage is quite dark during the day as shutters have been installed which do reduce the daylight. You do need to be careful when going up or down the stairs as being a cottage they are tight and slightly narrower than conventional stairs. This may be a problem for anyone with reduced mobility. The property was obviously fully renovated some time ago and to a very high standard but this is now showing some wear and tear. The bathroom is quite large with a luxury bath and shower. The shower is a good powerful shower with an adjustable fixed head and to avoid wetting the floor best turned on once in the shower, we didn’t notice any leakage around the door as mentioned by others and there is a plentiful supply of hot water. The beds are comfortable and the bed linen and towels provided were very good quality. There is a good selection of games, folding beach chairs and buckets and spades for the kids although we didn’t have need of them. The tv works fine via the free view and internet during our stay was constant. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils but I would take your own cloths and washing up materials, bin liners and dishwasher tablets. The dishwasher contained used cups and cutlery when we arrived, presumably from the previous occupants which would have exhausted the single dishwasher tablet that was provided had we not taken some with us. The kitchen is accessed via three steps from the lounge, TAKE CARE, the bottom step into the kitchen is much narrower and lower than the other 2 and the same colour and material as the kitchen floor I mis-judged the step and took a nasty fall, so make sure you familiarise yourself with them, once you are aware it’s fine but it was not a good way to find out. (Possibly the bottom step would benefit from marker tape on its edge) The access instructions were clear with the key code to the house, as with many places in Cornwall access with the car is via a narrow street with a tight entry at the side of the lifeboat station it is possible to turn around at the top after unloading. Finding The car park space was a challenge and is found at the junction of Fore St and New Road at the LH side of the old RNLI garage (as shown on Google maps street view) this is now the Jack and Lewis shop. It is an uphill walk to the car park space and took around 8 minutes to walk up the hill at a normal walking pace. Locating and accessing the parking space took a good deal of time on arrival to locate and the contact number for the letting agent was Monday to Friday only, however being on O2 there was no signal anywhere in port Isaac so I was unable to ring to see if they have an out of hours answering service. Overall we had a great week once we had managed to get unloaded and finally find the car parking, Thankfully I was uninjured by the fall on the kitchen steps and hopefully this review will help you avoid some of the problems we encountered .

The property

Originally built in the mid 1800's, Creel Cottage is a stunning two bedroom holiday cottage nestled at the end of Middle Street in Port Isaac on the North Cornwall coast. Here, you are conveniently located for everything Port Isaac has to offer, including a selction of shops, restaurants and pubs serving the catch of the day. Completely renovated in 2016, this self catering cottage was finished to a very high standard whilst retaining its orginal character and charm. Perfect for a romantic getaway or couples sharing, Creel Cottage can sleep up to 4 guests in 2 stylishly furnished bedrooms that share a spacious bathroom. Private parking space for two cars at the top of the village. This boutique style living greets you as you walk in at Creel Cottage. A contrast of dark and light colours flow through the house creating a sense of space and modern design whilst remembering its routes with slate flooring throughout the ground floor, a stone fireplace, exposed beams and vaulted ceilings. The high specification kitchen has all you could need to prepare a home cooked meal with slate steps into the lounge diner where you can sink into a sumptious chair in front of the fire after a long day exploring the coastline. The first floor comprises of two double bedrooms that share a deluxe bathroom with the option of a freestanding bath and seperate shower. The bedrooms are finished with a calming colour palette of white and grey with views across the village. Port Isaac is a historic fishing village famed for its picturesque fishermans cottages and narrow streets. There are a variety of galleries, cafe's and high quality restaurants all on your doorstep, including two run by the celebirty chef Nathan Outlaw. The surrounding coastal paths are dramatic and rugged as they travel through the coves and headlands, sightings of rare birds and even the occasional glimpse of a seal or dolphins are not uncommon. The nearby cove of Port Gaverne just over the hill is an unspoilt sheltered spot where you can find a rock to sit on whilst enjoying some local fish and chips of an evening. Take your time exploring the fascinating rock pools and have a go at snorkelling out alongside the cliffs or simply enjoy a swim in the refreshing waters.

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.
