Snaptrip says

Cartway Cove is a well-loved cottage in Cornwall, praised for its stunning views, superb location, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests have enjoyed the outdoor space and the convenience of parking. The property's aspect and the addition of an ensuite have been appreciated, contributing to many memorable stays.

Guests that stayed at this property said

While many guests have had a pleasant stay, there are mentions of cleanliness issues such as dirty pillows, food remnants, and cobwebs. These instances suggest room for improvement, although they do not seem to be widespread concerns.

The location is consistently lauded for its spectacular sea views and proximity to local attractions. Guests have found the setting ideal for both relaxation and exploring the Cornish coastline.

The comfort of the cottage is generally well-regarded, especially the upstairs bedroom and ensuite. However, some guests found the other bedrooms less comfortable, indicating a slightly varied experience in comfort across the property.

The property is celebrated for its well-stocked kitchen and outdoor eating facilities. Nonetheless, there are comments about maintenance issues such as the need for new frying pans and a malfunctioning dishwasher tablet compartment.

There is insufficient information to assess thoughtfulness as there are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, a score cannot be given in this category.

About this property

Cartway Cove is a beautiful, self-catering home perched on the clifftop overlooking Port Gaverne and Port Isaac, enjoying spectacular views of the coast and sea. Perfect for a family of seven, with ground-floor living, ideal for those with limited mobility, Cartway Cove offers everything you need for a memorable adventure to Cornwall. Walk through the hallway to discover a light and bright open-plan kitchen, living and dining room, with plenty of space for cooking, enjoying a meal around the dining table or sitting and conversing on the plush sofas. When the sun is shining, you’ll want to spend the majority of your time outdoors, either on the wooden balcony that leads off from the patio doors by the kitchen, or at the wooden table on the slate patio, positioned to make best use of the sea and coastal views. The ground-floor is home to two bathrooms, a useful utility room, and two bedrooms, one offering a twin bed layout, able to be a super-king-size on request thanks to zip/link beds, and the other being a family room with a double and a single bed, ideal for catering to a number of different groups. There is one further bedroom upstairs on the first floor, offering a very spacious area with a king-size bed, wooden rocking chair, and en-suite bathroom. There are lots of good restaurants in Port Isaac and any seafood fans should visit top chef Nathan Outlaw’s New Road or Outlaw’s Fish Kitchen, with many of the produce being the local catch of the Port Isaac fishing boats. Wander the delightful harbour and embark on scenic jaunts along the South West Coast Path, perfect for simple strolls or a more energetic ramble. The surrounding area is full of places to visit, with the nearby town of Wadebridge offering a wider selection of amenities, and various family friendly attractions just a scenic drive away including Camel Creek Adventure Park, Doyden Castle, and Polzeath Beach. Venture up to Padstow to visit the National Lobster Hatchert and Prideaux Place, or enjoy a Padstow Sea Safari. Make the most of this stunning Cornish location with your loved ones at Cartway Cove.

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.

  • Janet

    We had a lovely 4 th stay at cartway cove A new set of frying pans would provide a better cooking experience The dishwasher tablet compartment doesn’t open during washing cycle A welcome pack on arrival would be a nice touch

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciate all of the effort it takes in making sure everything is just right for guests. Simply stunning location and we were made to feel very comfortable. Days spent exploring the amazing Cornish beaches and evenings star gazing and walking around the famous Port Isaac. We were two adults and three children ( 17,15 11) and the space was perfect of us all. The only negatives are the checkout time - 9.00 am is way to early post Covid and no linen included. Missing the views already and looking forward to a return visit.
