Margaret Sara June 2025

“A lovely cottage right in the middle of Port Isaac - no vehicle access though, but there was a garage at the top of the hill - very quiet and tucked away yet easy pedestrian access to the platt and harbour.”

One or two issues with the cottage: there was a leak as a result of rain earlier on in our stay, reported to the local agent; the kitchen tap has a drip problem and little black bits in the drinking water; the crockery seemed rather big for the dishwasher and a set of instructions re the equipment would have been helpful. We had a lovely holiday and enjoyed ourselves very much.

Rebecca June 2024

“We loved staying here.”

The cottage is really spacious and cosy and brilliantly located centrally in Port Issac. We were a family of four with 2 young kids and it was perfect for us and was immaculate too. It was so handy to have a garage and parking with the cottage too. We loved making new memories in Port Issac as a family.

“The cottage is lovely and has all the amenities.”

My only dislike was the bed was so lumpy and old, although it had a mattress cover. I think it needs to be replaced.

- Rachel, May 2024

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Temple Cottage and thank you for your feedback. We will be sure to replace the mattress. Safe onward travels from the owners. Property Owner

Helen March 2023

“Very comfortable , would recommend but the sitting room is dark and need to keep lights on, if maximum people were staying it would feel crowded.”

- Helen, March 2023

Dear Helen, I trust you are well and had a safe journey home. Thank you for taking the time to complete the feedback from your recent stay at Temple Cottage. I'm glad to hear you found the property was comfortable for you. Unfortunately, due to the nature of some of the old fishermens cottages in some of our locations, I appreciate the rooms can be a bit dark. Their access to natural light is more limited due to the way they were designed historically - and therefore add to the character of the original building. We hope you otherwise had an enjoyable stay and that you choose to book with John Bray Cornish Holidays again as we would love to welcome you back to Cornwall in the very near future.

It’s very comfortable and provides you with everything you need.

- Martina, January 2023

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to hear that you had such a fabulous stay at Temple Cottage and had the perfect base to explore the north Cornish coastline from! We hope to invite you back to North Cornwall again soon. John Bray on behalf of the owner. Property Owner
Amy September 2022

“This fantastic cottage has sooo many great aspects.”

It's perfectly located - truly just steps from town. You can be to the Chapel Cafe for their delicious Cornish Sweet Tea in moments, or to the Golden Lion for a wonderful dinner. The cottage itself is adorable and comfortable. I typically have mediocre expectations of the furniture and beds at rentals, but I slept like a baby in the beds and enjoyed relaxing evenings in the downstairs living room. I loved this rental, and LOVED Port Isaac.

Leslie August 2022

“We love this cottage and once again we had a great stay.”

The trek up the to the garage hasn’t got any easier, but is getting a bit much for our 70 year old legs. I would also like you to give some consideration to installing a hand rail towards the end of the bath as stepping out gave me some cause for concern.

- Leslie, August 2022

Thank you very much for your feedback on your stay at Temple Cottage. We are glad that you continue to enjoy Temple Cottage and its surroundings. We take all suggestions seriously and will be sure to look into the hand rail. Property Owner

David April 2022

“Very good cottage inside with a high standard of fittings - tried the iron on Saturday and it leaked out of the base so assume someone had dropped it before me.”

Outside it would have been nice to have some pansies in the hanging baskets rather than rusty brackets with stains on the wall but this is minor really - lovely cottage and very warm and cosy

- David, April 2022

Hello David, thank you for taking the time to leave some feedback. I will have the iron replaced immediately, the leak had not previously been brought to my attention, so thank you for letting me know about it. As for the rust marks on the exterior walls and the lack of hanging baskets, this is being rectified this weekend with a coat of paint and professionally prepared baskets which we always replace around this time of the year so they last the season. I am pleased that you found the cottage warm and cosy. Kind regards, Jacki (owner) Property Owner

About the location

PORT ISAAC

Polzeath 6.5 miles; Padstow 16 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. 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.

Please note: Temple Cottage will no longer be accepting pets.
