“Lovely little cottage.”

Nicely presented. Perfect location for being in the best part of the town. We absolutely loved it, and can’t wait to return.

Nicely presented. Perfect location for being in the best part of the town. We absolutely loved it, and can’t wait to return. Only minor suggestions. Could do with a tidy up on the outside and a new mattress, but did not spoil our stay. Thank you.

- Dave, May 2022

Thank you very much for your feedback on The Bakehouse, we take all suggestions on board. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time there. We have now installed a replacement Emma Mattress so that our customers have a comfortable sleep in our lovely cottage. We look forward to your next visit! Property Owner

“The hoover was not effective: setting down more dust than it picked up No logs were provided for the fire.”

This is a mistake, especially on the first evening - a Sunday- when it is not possible to buy any. An easy fix at little cost It was unclear how to work the hob on the cooker. There were no instructions. Whilst we worked it out eventually, an easy fix would be to provide instructions We are very familiar with Port Isaac and the cottage was lovely

- Michael, March 2022

Thanks you for your feedback and we are glad you liked our beautiful cottage. Regarding the Hover it must have recently developed a fault and so we will replace the hover with a new model immediately. As a guidance, fire logs and kindle can be purchased at the local Village Co-op which is open until 10PM each day. Saying that, the Electric Heaters are alway switched on in advance of a visit so that the house is nice and warm for each arrival in Winter. All instructions for the Appliances are provided in the kitchen drawer and so we will check if the instructions have been removed.. Property Owner

“Beautiful little cottage.”

Just the right size for two people. Very clean and had everything we needed. Perfect location for access to the village. Just one small thing, could do with more towels for a week stay. 1 bath towel each was not enough. Other than that it was perfect.

“We arrived at the designated time and found only one toilet roll supplied.”

Due to the fact that the shops would be closed from the 24th December evening until 26th December morning we were imagining that maybe there might be more supplied. Also found absolutely no kindling or logs. We bought logs from home assuming there would be some kindling. Most holiday lets have a supply for at least one fire. We thought due the very expensive costs of the stay that these would have been supplied - thus these two comments. Otherwise a lovely very compact cottage and a great location in a great Port Isaac.

- Ben, December 2021

We are glad to hear that you enjoyed our cottage and its location. Regarding the lack of toilet roll and tinder for the fire we will discuss with John Bray to see if they can provide more for our guests. We normally leave a stock for our guests when we visit ourselves, which seems to have been depleted this time round. During the Winter months we alway ensure that the Electric Radiators are always on for arrivals so that the house is nice a warm for our guests. Thank you very much for your comments. Property Owner

“Overall we enjoyed our stay in Port Isaac, but a few small touches would have made our outstanding.”

Whilst we appreciate the cottage was self catered, some tea, coffee and refreshments would have been appreciated, especially after a long journey. As guest we were asked to keep the cottage clean and tidy, but we not provided with cleaning cloths etc and when requested were told they would not be provided. The kitchen was well equipped overall, but there were no baking trays, foil or cling film. All of these issues could have been resolved for just a couple of pounds per letting, but would have made the experience more enjoyable. We requested additional towels as only one set per person was provided for the week and was told we would have to pay to hire them, again I feel this is a bit much to ask of guests. The bed and pillows were far too uncomfortable for our liking.

“Beautifully presented, clean cottage in an I deal location.”

The only constructive feedback I would give is that you can’t open the freezer properly because the door is blocked by the wall, there’s not much cupboard space for food shopping, and I would have loved there to have been a washing machine. However, none of these things were a real issue, and they certainly didn’t dampen my stay. I really loved this cottage and out of the few we rented as a group, everyone commented on how The Bakehouse was the most well presented. I would have no hesitation in coming back to stay here at all.

- Cait, July 2021

Thank you for letting us know about this. Your feedback helps us to do better, we are looking into this, but we are glad it didn't dampen your holiday. Property Owner

“I had a lovely holiday in Port Isaac and how walking down the hill felt like walking into the past.”

How friendly the locals were. Such a nice time, me and my partner have enquired to get married here in the village.

“We very much enjoyed our stay at The Bakehouse.”

Knowing it was a small property, I was concerned it might feel a little shut in, also being tucked away behind other cottages, but this was not the case at all. It had been beautifully renovated and was very well equipped and very comfortable. We had only visited Port Isaac before, never stayed and it was a pleasant surprise how peaceful it was in the evening and at night, once all the day visitors had left. The complete lack of traffic noise at night was a joy. We enjoyed eating at The Mote where we had an excellent meal with very friendly service. We also had fish and chips on the beach. Parking could be a slight issue, but we enjoyed the extra 10 minutes walk by the sea every day. The only evening we had trouble parking was on the Friday, when the village was suddenly very busy. We did not know what was happening until we heard singing and realised Fishermans Friends were playing on the beach. It was fabulous and the best end to our week in the village. The only thing we struggled with was operating the oven. I would suggest leaving a copy of the manufacturers manual with the cottage info. Many thanks for your help with our booking.
