“The new beds are very comfortable and the new kitchen is great.”

The view is the highlight, but the bathroom needs updating - the shower pressure is very low. A number of windows in the house don’t open and the heating wasn’t working in two of the bedrooms (heaters were provided). It’s a good house, but it could be great if the bathroom, windows and heating are sorted.

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you like the improvements we have made. I wasn't aware of the heaters not working or some of the windows not working. We will give this urgent attention to have rectified. The bathroom is next on our list to improve but with lockdown, difficultly getting materials and so many bookings we have had to delay it. We hope you can enjoy it next time you stay with us. Property Owner

“We enjoyed our stay at the house.”

It was presented ok. The staff we dealt with were first class. We had a very nice holiday and would use John Bray again. We are just waiting for our deposit for breakables back and we will be happy.

“Potentially lovely bungalow with wonderful views but the approach was dirty with no proper pathway through the garden.”

The windows were dirty as were the patio doors. The outside table and chairs had not been cleaned. Toilet, bathroom and kitchen were clean but the bedrooms were dusty in parts and my daughter found some dirty clothes in her chest of drawers. There was also a childs flip flop under her bed! We had to wipe the shelves clean in the wardrobes and drawers before we could put our clothes in there. We didn't appreciate having to start cleaning after being told we couldn't gain entry until 4.30 so the property could be thoroughly cleaned ! We loved Port Isaac but felt disappointed with the property.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. We are disappointed to learn you had to clean the windows yourselves. and we have been liaising with our maintenance team who are taking action to ensure this doesn't happen again. Thank you again for your feedback. Property Owner

“The view from Hi-View was absolutely amazing & exceeded our expectations - we had a birds-eye view down to Port Isaac and the garden was also beautiful.”

The terrace with table and chairs was perfect for having a cream tea or dinner in the evening or just relaxing with a book. A view improvements which could be made! - More mugs needed! we had to keep washing them up after each use. - A grater should be included - a basic item? - the patio doors were incredibly hard to open - extremely stiff! - my elderly parents could not use the shower as no grab rails - a dressing table/extra chest of drawers/extra chair in the back double room would have been useful.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. We have taken note of your comments will action them. We are looking to redo the bathroom so can look at alternatives to make access easier. The other items are basic and will be addressed immediately Property Owner

The property

Hi View sits in an elevated position at the top of Port Isaac village enjoying stunning views of the harbour and sea beyond. This delightful bungalow has a large garden, patio, private parking for two cars and is just a five-minute stroll down to the narrow, winding streets of Port Isaac harbour, as featured in the popular television series Doc Martin. An array of great restaurants, pubs, and cafes are all within walking distance; sit back and relax with a gourmet meal or a Cornish cream tea and watch the world go by. Sleeping 6 people in 3 bedrooms with 1 bathroom and a separate WC, Sun room and with newly refurbished kitchen decorated in neutral tones Hi View is a perfect coastal retreat for a family at any time of year.The birds eye view of the harbour and village is fantastic from the rear terrace, where you can start your morning with an al fresco breakfast as you watch the harbour come to life with fisherman busily preparing their boats or catch. On less than balmy days, the large windows in the sitting room/dining room at Hi View will allow you to appreciate wonderful views in warmth and comfort. The bright, good sized kitchen, three bedrooms consisting of one twin and two double bedrooms are each set off the hallway opposite and alongside the bathroom.Local shops in the village include a baker, fishmonger and a Co-Op at the top of the village for everything else you may need. The nearest town is Wadebridge about a 20-minute drive away, with lots of independent shops, three supermarkets, a sports centre with an indoor pool and also a cinema showing all the latest films. A wonderful old railway line that used to run through the town and alongside the river Camel has been transformed into a trail for bikes or walkers - the Camel Trail is a brilliant way to see the estuary and is a flat gentle path suitable for all ages. Bike hire is easily found at either Padstow or Wadebridge.Accommodation: Kitchen, Sitting Room/Dining area Bedroom 1: Double bed Bedroom 2: Double bed Bedroom 3: Twin beds Bath/Shower/W.C.

About the location

PORT ISAAC

Polzeath 6 miles; Padstow 9 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. Only ten minutes drive from the beaches of Polzeath, Daymer and Rock, it is perfect for romantic and family holidays alike. There is ample parking at the top of the village.
