Cute, quiet, clean apartment with great beds and wonderful location. The pots and pans were few though and in bad condition. No lids and no pot holders. Couches were old and not comfortable. It wouldnât take much to make the apartment amazing.
Property had all the essentials for our 5 night stay and was situated at the quiet end of a street that sits above the Port Gaverne road.
The downhill walk into the harbor at Port Issac takes about 10 minutes along the coastal path with lovely views of the Cornish coastline. You also are close to the Port Gaverne road and can walk down there and out to the rocky point conveniently. The apartment itself has no view (we knew that going in) but access to an inner courtyard.
The apartment was clean and adequately furnished - the functional type of furniture and accessories that you typically find in holiday rentals. Nice touch to have some biscuits, tea and coffee left for our stay.
The bed in the master bedroom was comfortable. The Wifi worked well and all of the kitchen appliances suited our needs - particularly the washer & dryer since we had already been in the UK for some days and needed to do laundry.
It was very nice that the apartment had its own assigned parking space, since parking is at an absolute premium.
Overall, we felt it was a very good value and a good base from which to explore the area.
The property was tucked away behind another house and was quiet and sheltered; unfortunately the only view was from the living room onto the shared courtyard and no views from any of the other rooms.
For the size of the apartment it was well fitted out, but I would have liked some counter space in the bathroom (there was none) and some condiments in the kitchen would have been nice for the obligatory fish and chips (salt, vinegar, ketchup etc). Also some oil for frying, although the frying pan was in poor condition.
I have given the rating that I have due to the fact that we were hurried out of the property on our check out day by two ladies banging loudly on the door at 10:10. They said that we were supposed to have been gone by 10:00 but the website said "before 11:00 am" which is what we were working to. We actually left around 10:35 but it was unfortunate that there was a lack of communication here and we were rushed out at the end.
Well equipped accommodation in a perfect location. Parking space is a bonus. Ideal for a family of 4. Welcome pack with tea, coffee, milk and biscuits was appreciated. Was clean but a little more attention to cleaning needed behind the beds and whilst the linen is fresh the throws on the top need a spruce up! Would recommend as a place to stay. Port Isaac is one of our favourite places in Cornwall and just down the hill is Port Gaverne, the hotel does fantastic food as does Pilchards. Make sure you book all restaurants there and in Port Isaac to guarantee a table. Communication with the owner of the property was without issue.
