“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.

Wilson September 2023

“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.

- Wilson, September 2023

I am so pleased that Gulland is your happy place and hope it will continue to be so. Hope you will both be back again soon. From Pat owner of Gulland. Property Owner
Janet September 2023

“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.

- Janet, September 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely comments and very helpful advice regarding restaurants and car charging. I hope you will both return for a future visit. From Pat owner of Gulland. Property Owner

Jo February 2023

“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!

- Jo, February 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave some feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Very good advice What 3 Words is very helpful in Port Isaac. John Bray on behalf of the owner Property Owner

John May 2022

“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.

- John, May 2022

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your holiday whilst staying with us. We are currently trying to find an easier way to locate our properties. Property Owner

“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!

Thank you very much for this useful feedback. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and the surroundings it has to offer! Property Owner
Rachel January 2022

“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.

- Rachel, January 2022
Judith August 2021

“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.

- Judith, August 2021
D August 2021

“Lovely cottage.”

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

- D, August 2021
Andrew July 2021

“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.

- Andrew, July 2021
Duncan July 2021

“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

The property

This frontline, first-floor apartment of Gulland enjoys a large, cliff top garden and stunning views of the harbour at the top of the beautiful village of Port Isaac, Cornwall. Gulland is a wonderful escape from the world where a group of three can potter at will into the village and return to relax in this lovely, self-catering holiday home. The living spaces immediately draw you into the double-aspect picture windows and incredible views that lie beyond; perfectly designed with window seats below both of these, they invite you to curl up and watch the fishing boats pootle in and out of the historic harbour, or out to sea - bring your binoculars to scan the waters for the sights of seals, sea birds and perhaps even a pod of passing dolphins! This comfortable room features wood panelling which creates a warm, seaside feel while the refreshing coastal colours create a wonderful balance. There is also a table and chairs here so you can sit down at the end of the day and dine with views over the glistening waters and watch the ever-changing colours of the sky during sunset. The charming kitchen gives you a convenient place to prepare your meals, with contemporary, electrical facilities to make cooking an enjoyable affair. The bedrooms are spacious, with pale blue hues with pretty florals offer a restful and relaxing space to recharge at night, with the master bedroom providing a double bed and the second bedroom, a single. There is also a convenient shower room to freshen up and get ready for the day ahead. Leave your car in the garage and head into Port Isaac on foot, as the delights of the quaint village lie just outside your door. Whether you are stopping by the local individual shops, taking to the South West coastal path for a hike on the cliff tops or partaking in a delectable delicacy from the tempting restaurants, you can be sure to be entertained and well fed! Not only are there two restaurants by Nathan Outlaw, but there are also cafes, pubs and casual eateries where you can taste local wares. In the summer evenings, enjoy the blissful sea shanties from the incredible Fishermen's Friends who play by the harbour. Venturing out of Port Isaac, pop into Trevathan Farm Shop to stock up on their fine produce and in summer months, pick your own strawberries outside. For sandy beaches a short drive away you will find the smaller bays of Lundy Bay and Epphaven which can be walked down to from the cliffs and over the rocks at low tide for peace and tranquility. For easier access, the surfing hub of Polzeath and just below, the gentler shores of Daymer Bay and Rock are a little further south, between which you will find the famous St. Enodoc Church sitting in the middle of the St. Enodoc golf course; worth a visit whether you are a keen golfer or not! Gulland is truly a relaxing retreat which can be experienced by booking a stay today.

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