“We have stayed at Silvershell several times and whilst in general it is a comfortable house, the mattresses in the king size and double rooms are awful.”

The house also needs more sockets in the bedrooms and lounge and the extension leads are too short. The shower in the double room is poorly positioned and in the main bathroom needs replacing. Some of the crockery now needs replacing (several chipped and cracked mugs on arrival!) ...

The house also needs more sockets in the bedrooms and lounge and the extension leads are too short. The shower in the double room is poorly positioned and in the main bathroom needs replacing. Some of the crockery now needs replacing (several chipped and cracked mugs on arrival!) We noticed the cleaning was not up to the usual standard. Some of this may sound trivial and I know staffing etc is difficult at the moment but in light of your huge price increases, standards need to be maintained. We do like this property and it’s very convenient. We enjoyed our holiday.

“The bungalow didn’t seem to have been cleaned.”

Although beds had been changed and the towels were clean, the table had crumbs on, fridge door was very dirty, floors and sinks had lots of hairs on. We had to clean before unpacking. Wouldn’t use Sykes again due to this as it happened when we stayed with them in the Lake District. Mattress in double room was extremely hard and uncomfortable.

“The location of the property is good.”

The kitchen is good and well equipped and clean. The living area is good. The bedrooms were only ok. The bed was very uncomfortable as were the pillows, they need to be renewed. The bed could do with a mattress topper. It was so uncomfortable we came home a day early, we couldn’t face a further uncomfortable night. The shower in the middle bathroom was angled to the wall, this needs to be straightened. The sink in this bathroom is tiny. Goodness knows why, there is plenty of room for a bigger sink. We wouldn’t stay in this property again. We were disappointed as we expected more from John Bray.

“Seashells was a great location, 5 mins walk down to main port Isaac and 10 min walk down to Port Gaverne, and path to coastal walks, all very lovely.”

The holiday cottage was comfortable and very well equipped in the kitchen. Parking is a bit tricky, if more than one car, wondered if paving over the shingle to create another off road space is possible. The only other downside is the noise of the seagulls which is not something that can be controlled. Would definitely return to this property.

The property

Perched at the top of the picturesque North Cornwall village of Port Isaac, Silvershell House is a well appointed bungalow where you can enjoy sea views from all the front rooms. The famous fishing harbour is only a short walk down the hill with galleries, restaurants, quaint little cottages and plenty of art and craft shops to look around. Silvershell House is the perfect holiday cottage for familes or a small group of friends with three tastefully furnished bedrooms, a lawned garden with the added luxury of a raised decking area where you can relax and soak up the sea air. There is one off road parking space available. A calm seaside colour palette sweeps through Silvershell House equipped with modern appliances, high quality fittings and solid oak flooring throughout. The bedrooms are linked by a hallway, the master bedroom fitted with a king size bed and an ensuite shower room, a further double room with a shower ensuite and a twin bedroom where you can enjoy views of the coast. Step out into the enclosed garden from the kitchen where you can enjoy some alfresco dining after a long day exploring the North Cornwall coast. Port Isaac is more than just a fishing village, its a film and TV location, the home of Doc Martin and the Fishermans Friends, and the gateway to North Cornwall. The village is also famous for its narrow winding streets, quaint and characterful fishing cottages and of course the rugged coastline that no matter how often you visit, you fall more in love with this beautiful part of the world each time. Treat yourself to a meal at one of the Michelin-Starred Nathan Outlaw restaurants for something special or tuck in to some locally caught fish and chips on the cliffs after a long day exploring the coastline. Accommodation: Open plan Sitting/Dining/Kitchen with sea views Bedroom 1: King size bed with sea views, en-suite Shower Room/WC Bedroom 2: Double bed, en-suite Shower Room/WC Bedroom 3: Twin beds with sea views Family bathroom: Bath, Shower and WC

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.
