Gulland

We had a wonderful week.

Pat is a lovely, thoughtful host. Everything you could want is there. The location could not be bettered. We will be back x

We had a lovely stay in Gulland and were very comfortable; the flat was spacious for two and Pat has gone to enormous trouble to provide for every need.

We found we could park our Corolla saloon car in the small garage, which was very welcome! The access to the flat up a narrow, spiral staircase, with very small steps, might be a challenge to some people, and this perhaps needs to be explained further in the description of the property. There are lovely views over the bay and the sea beyond and both Port Isaac and Port Gaverne are within easy walking distance along the coastal footpath and offer a variety of good eating places. The weather was dry and mostly sunny and certainly warm enough to swim, which was a bonus!

Beautiful property amazing views everything you need very clean and comfortable will definitely be back !

Already stayed here previously and was so blown away by just how excellent it was that we returned this year.

As always, Pat the owner did a fantastic job of ensuring everything needed was available, perfectly clean, tidy, welcoming and very appealing. We stayed longer this time and at a couple of months earlier in the year. Views from the accommodation are the best we have experienced to date, to be able to look out of one window and there have nothing but sea to look at and out of another and enjoy the harbour and cliffs above is spectacular. We enjoyed fish and chips twice from the 2 minute walk away local chip shop, the handy 10 minute walk away Co-Op shop, some lovely gift shops in Port Isaac, didn't go in any of the pubs or restaurants though. We will return for a third time at some point as it really is the best place we have stayed out of all the Sykes cottages we frequently book.

Lovely cottage with magnificent views.

Very comfortable and has all that you need for a relaxing stay

If you are planning a trip to Port Isaac look no further.

This apartment has it all. The interior is well planned and ideal for a relaxing holiday. The views are probably the best in Port Isaac. I cannot fault the accommodation. It is truly a home from home.

Our stay at Gulland was fabulous.

Attention to detail inside the apartment was first class. Very homely and comfortable. Beautifully furnished and equipped with everything one would need to make the stay hassle free. The view from the windows was uninterrupted, just sea splashing against the rocks and gorgeous headland stretching out into the distance. The bonus during our stay was a stunning sunset each evening. Certainly no need to draw the curtains!! Thank you

Gulland is situated overlooking Port Isaac harbour and features fantastic views of the sea from this stunning fully equipped apartment.

It's so good we've now been there 3 times! This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy all that Port Isaac has to offer.

It was wonderful.

Gorgeous views and very warm and comfortable with everything we could possibly need for our stay

We’ll book Gulland next November for sure.

The view is absolutely outstanding.

The sofas and beds were comfortable. Everything we could have asked for. And we got a Toyota Corolla Estate into the garage, which was an added bonus.

We had a wonderful stay at Gulland in Port Isaac.

The accommodation was great overlooking the inlet to Port Isaac. The owner had left us some food items to get us started which was a nice touch.

Spotless, attractive apartment and very comfortable.

Spectacular sea views through the living room windows! Easy walking access to the village, quay and Port Gaverne. Beautiful cliff walks. Loved it here and would recommend. Carol White

In a great position, close to the village centre but still overlooking the beautiful rocky coastline.

Well furnished and with everything you could need. The garage was a real bonus, but only if you have a small car!

Absolutely perfect.

Only 2 words can find to sum up the entire experience. The owner had clearly gone out of their way to ensure everything was not just to a "good" standard but rather an "exceptional" standard. From the moment we walked to the time of leaving, it was sheer pleasure. The decor was spot on, not too much neither too little with a beautiful seaside theme throughout which made it feel welcoming and homely. The lounge, bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen: immaculately clean and well presented. Facilities and equipment covered all aspects of a self catering stay with more besides yet still not over the top. By way of explanation I have Autism which among other things means I need to know how to operate things. The owner had carefully explained in a suitably organised fashion, in a black folder, exactly how everything functioned and included original user manuals for every piece of equipment. Just brilliant! In addition several small unobtrusive notes in important areas were left with very helpful explanations such as windows which were prone to being damaged in high winds so as to take care. It was peaceful, the views from the lounge windows could honestly not be improved upon: one overlooks the cliff and harbour entrance, the other part of the cliffs then out to the vast expanse of sea. The notes given on the Sykes Cottages app gave helpful warning of the small garage so we went in my Fiat 500 which fitted perfectly. My partner's Hyundai would not have fitted however. As directed we took our own towels but even then the kind owner had a small set bagged up but only to be used in an emergency. You still need to take your own towels but I mention this as one of many of the kind points of thoughtfulness to guests that the owner has given much consideration to. There is nothing you needed extra or to ask for. You should take the time to read through the black folder provided with every bit of information you require in order to best and fully enjoy your stay. Nothing is left to chance and even then, if you do have other questions, the owner is available on their mobile and very friendly and kind. In fact I would say this is by far the best accommodation we have stayed in on the Sykes Cottages site, and we have stayed in quite a few. So good that I immediately rebooked for returning twice next year for longer stays both times!

An excellently equipped apartment that provided everything we could want for.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at the Gulland, and as before we’ve had a lovely holiday.

Gulland has been beautifully decorated by Pat the owner. The apartment is spotless and has everything you need for comfortable holiday. We will definitely be going back.

Not enough superlatives to describe this property.

What a fantastic location, with sea views in 3 directions. The place was immaculate and comfortable and felt like home the moment we walked through the door. Easy reach of the car park which was useful, as an X3 won't fit in the garage. Close to pub and restaurant swell as the local chippy

The cottage was wonderful!

Very nice decorated, cosy, and very clean. Needless to say the location was terrific. Josée

Loved everything about this property, the location, the views, the kitchen has everything you need, comfy sofas and bed - superb all round.

Pat has clearly put a lot of work into this stunning place and she is so helpful. Going to miss sitting outside with a cuppa watching the dolphins swim by. Didn’t want to leave, would love to return.

A simply beautiful apartment offering all one could wish for in a stunning setting overlooking Port Isaac harbour and the adjoining cliffs.

The garage parking may require a little bit of care but, for a suitably sized car (see the garage dimensions clearly given in the property details), should present no issues --- and, of course, it offers seagull protection! We would have no hesitation in recommending Gulland and hope to return in the future.

very well presented and maintained apartment.

Also very clean and extremely well equipped. The views are amazing

Fantastic place!

Gulland has a fabulous position with uninterrupted views of the harbour and sea.

The property was spotless and very well presented. The owner (Pat) met us at the property and made sure we were happy and to let her know if there was anything we needed. This really is a wonderful place to enjoy a quiet break, but with plenty to see and do in the area, including some good walking on the coast path.

Smart property with amasing sea views.

So ein wunderschöner Ort, um sich wohl zu fühlen.

Der Ausblick ist einfach grandios, die Lage auf den Klippen einmalig. Das Cottage ist so geschmackvoll eingerichtet , alles was man braucht ist vorhanden. Wir waren vom ersten Eintreten an begeistert. 'Such a beautiful place to feel comfortable. The view is simply magnificent, the location on the cliffs is unique. The cottage is so tastefully decorated, everything you need is there. We were thrilled from the moment we entered' (From Google translate*).

Absolutely loved our stay at Gulland.

The property was clean when we arrived and is very comfortable and beautifully furnished. It had everything we needed. The views are stunning. The most perfect location and Pat was a wonderful host. Thank you very much. Already planning our next visit. We’re already missing port Issac.

This is a lovely holiday apartment and Pat couldn't have been kinder.

A stay at Gulland is just a joy and we had the weather too. I so regret leaving.

Wow what views!

!! This property was everything we would have wanted for a house with a view. Everything you could possibly want was provided. The owner cleaned the property herself and it was spotless. The decoration was lovely and we loved benefiting from the new carpets. As we left new dining chairs were arriving. Clearly the comfort of guests is a priority to the owner. I was able to contact the owner personally and any issues/questions she dealt with immediately. I would highly recommend this property.

The property was fantastic.

Exactly what we hoped for - clean and a perfect location. I tried to contact Sykes holidays before our holiday with some queries - my messages over a period of a week were responded to with holding messages or ones saying you would look into it and get back to me - you never did - pretty shocking really. Very disappointing .

The property is the best location one could expect.

It sits over the views to harbour and out to sea and the furniture and comforts are top quality. So peaceful and relaxing you will want to come back for sure. The owner Pat spares nothing as everything that you require is provided. The bedroom and sleeping is wonderful and our week here was one of the best ever.

Ultimate sea views at Gulland!

The property is excellent throughout and the owner is very friendly.

Thankyou, this is our second visit to Gulland we love everything about it, The property lacks nothing it is perfectly furnished and the kitchen as everything you could possibly need, but the outstanding views beat anything we have come across, If only seagulls wore nappies in windy weather, the well cleaned windows would stay that way, but waiting for next year’s availability to come live so we can book our 3rd visit Thankyou again Allyson and Richard

This was our first stay at Gulland and we were very impressed.

Decor and facilities bang on. Views and constant sea noises excellent. Garage - I could fit my Yaris Gr CPack in but I had taken the garage width details before. Very handy for the golden lion pub, mote restaurant and shops in the village. We will be back.

Terrific property and great host!

Property was as described - well equipped, stunning location, clean, comfortable etc...

When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised with how it looked and the stunning views of the harbour out of the windows was something else The whole property is value for money, The only thing that visitors have to remember is the steps to the property as well as the garage, we have a Ford Kuga and it just fits in, I found it easier to reverse in and keep the passenger side really close to the wall to allow enough room to get out of the car.

'Very high quality, can't think of any improvements needed, amazing views!

Will definitely be looking to book again. 5*'

Gulland is a fantastic apartment in Port Isaac with incredible sea views.

We found the apartment to be very comfortable, clean, beautifully decorated, cosy yet spacious. The owner had carefully thought of the needs of holidaymakers. The location was also great, within walking distance of shops, restaurants, pubs, the beach and coastal walks etc. A real gem.

A beautiful house in a beautiful position.

We loved our stay

We very much enjoyed our stay at Gulland.

The property is in an excellent location, exquisitely furnished, immaculately clean and very well equipped. Would definitely recommend

This is the third time we have stayed at Gulland.

We love it ... it is my happy place. We have been holidaying in Port Isaac for thirty years and stayed in many different houses with our children and grandchildren but, for us, Gulland is an outright winner. The view, the furnishing and attention to comfort which the owner has given, make Gulland a perfect holiday spot.

What a lovely stay we had at Gulland and a pleasure to meet Pat when we arrived.

The thoughtfulness put into the provision of items within the apartment showed signs of someone who has spent time considering what visitors might need. This is an excellent location where many hours can be spent watching the sea. Great restaurants within an easy walking distance. Our favourites were Outlaw’s New Road and Outlaw’s Fish Kitchen, but we also had good food at The Mote on the Platt and at Pilchards in Port Gaverne. Seeing the Fishermen Friends singing was an unexpected treat. The garage is large enough for a new model Kia Soul and the nearest carpark having EV charges which could be used via the SWARCO app was a bonus.

It was a top notch holiday, very enjoyable

The property is amazing everything you need to enjoy your stay was there but a better list of whats provided in property would be great as we bought alot of stuff that was already supplied by owner.

This property though is 100% amazing loved it.

We had an enjoyable stay in this very comfortable apartment which was clean and well equipped.

We were lucky to see the property owner when we arrived who was most helpful. Spectacular views from the Living Room, Main Bedroom and Garden. Would be great to stay again.

The Property was amazing, the best position we have ever stayed in on a uk holiday, Everything you could need for the perfect holiday, Spotlessly clean except for what seagulls leave on the windows

In 20 years of holidaying in cottages etc this was the finest.

The location was breathtaking and the accommodation was perfect. Anything you could possibly need seemed to be supplied. We have already recommended to friends and would love to come back next year.

A perfect place to stay.

Met and surpassed our expectations.

Excellent property.

Everything in place for a great holiday.

Lovely stay - apartment is well equipped and very well maintained and clean.

Pat was a kind and considerate owner and very helpful. We did struggle to find it as we arrived later than planned and after dark. Advice to future holidaymakers do not use sat nav in car or phone - it will take you to the footpath instead of the road. Trust the What 3 Words app. It will take you there - along a private road- but you are going the right way!

the holiday property was like home from home very comfortable every need was thought of thankyou

We have stayed in Gulland before and loved it so much, this was our reason for returning.

The property was great with spectacular views and was in great condition.

We would have preferred a dishwasher to the washing machine.

Great holiday home, with a fantastic view.

Will come again

We had a great holiday in Gulland, Port Isaac.

The views were wonderful even during the stormy weather! Plenty space to move around and everything we could ask for. The apartment is beautifully decorated, very coastal, in keeping with the surroundings. Booking on a Thursday to Thursday worked out very well for our travelling.

Perfect week in the most wonderful setting.

The owner made us feel welcome and was extremely helpful. Keen to come back (again),

Gulland is such a lovely place to stay with the most beautiful views, it has everything that you could need for a home from home holiday let I loved sitting in the window seat with my cup of tea and book watching the world go by and enjoying the beautiful sunsets, we will definitely be returning

Really enjoyed our stay at Gulland.

The views and position are spectacular. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and had many new items. Nothing was worn or shabby. Parking on the local streets was possible in May. We had to go to the John Bray office to ask for directions to find Gulland which would have been easy if directions using private restricted roads had been given.

Our stay at Gulland was excellent.

The owner made us so welcome and was most helpful on our arrival. The position of the property is simply stunning. We loved it .... even in the rain!

We had another lovely stay at this holiday home with amazing views.

Definitely suits 2-3 people. The location is excellent as you are in the heart of Port Issac with a few minutes walk.

Lovely location, ideal for watching the waves.

Very comfortable. Owner has thought of everything. We had no problem, but some may find the spiral staircase up to front door awkward - don't take bulky suitcas s!

An amazing property with all the comforts of home.

So peaceful and chilling due to the location, fell asleep to the sounds of the sea. Want to stay again very soon.

It would be useful to give clearer guidance on locating the cottage .

It took us a long time as the sat nav took us round the village and a note suggesting taking the road under the new road car park and going through the gate on the unmade private road would help.

Lovely cottage.

Fantastic location. Owner had thought of everything. Torch, needle and thread etc. Very good communication with John Bray. Thank you very much!

Gulland is great.

perfect location with wonderful views and proximity to restaurants & Port Isaac (& Port Gaverne) itself. Well appointed property. Managed to get a large Volvo into the Garage contrary to the warning on the website. One small/minor suggestion would be to have slightly less crockery/utensils in the kitchen to make a little space for guest food/drinks etc....but that really is 'nit-picking' as the kitchen contains everything required for a stay. We had a great stay and will definitely book a return.

The only downside of this lovely property.

is the garage parking space is very small. but the car park is very close. other than that it is outstanding
