Guests say
Pebblestones in Port Isaac is highly praised for its stunning views, comfortable furnishings, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, including a welcome pack, and the property's cleanliness. While some mention building work and minor maintenance issues, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many looking forward to returning.
The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with most guests finding it spotless and well-maintained. However, a few guests noted the need for a deeper clean in certain areas, such as under beds and around shower bases, which slightly impacts the overall score.
The location is consistently lauded for its spectacular views and proximity to local attractions. The convenience of parking and the ease of exploring Cornwall from this base contribute to a high score, despite minor concerns about building work nearby.
Guests find the property warm, welcoming, and comfortable, with special mentions of comfy beds and a homely feel. The presence of a utility room for drying wetsuits and storing gear adds to the comfort level, although some guests noted issues with hot water temperature.
The property is praised for its well-equipped kitchen, quality furnishings, and additional amenities like board games. However, the score is moderated by reports of non-functioning towel rails, TVs, and a kettle, as well as suggestions for improvements such as a retractable washing line and barbecue.
While guests express gratitude for the welcome pack and thoughtful touches, there is insufficient information to determine if such gifts are consistently provided. Therefore, it is politely noted that such gestures, while appreciated, may not be guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Pebblestones is a detached bungalow located in an elevated position at the top of Port Isaac, North Cornwall. The property sleeps six and boasts breath-taking sea vistas and relaxed, sociable living accommodation, perfect for a family holiday or group getaway.
Kick off your beach or walking shoes in the utility or porch - both rooms have doors that lead into an open-plan living room with French windows that frame the panoramic, striking view of the famous harbour. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need to cook up delicious feasts, ideally located next to the dining area, whilst the sitting area is a wonderful space to relax and unwind with a woodburning stove, TV and plush furnishings, not forgetting the exquisite views that stretch over the surrounding coastline.
In the evenings retreat along the hallway leading to three spacious bedrooms and a family bathroom. The double bedroom has a king-size bed and boasts sea views and an en-suite shower room, a second bedroom boasts a double bed, and a third twin room has harbour views. The large utility room, which opens out into the garage, boasts a sink and shower, ideal for washing off wetsuits!
Outside, a generous furnished terrace is a magical spot to watch stunning sunsets over the harbour.
A 10-minute downhill walk from the bungalow is the heart of Port Isaac with centuries-old buildings sporting eateries, shops and galleries. At low tide, the harbour exposes a small beach to relax, go kayaking and watch fishermen reel in the catch of the day.
For a day out, walk from the property to Port Quin for a stunning coastal hike, best enjoyed with a delicious cream tea picnic. Further afield, the historic town of Wadebridge, with its host of shops, its weekly market and its restaurants is a mere 8-mile drive away.
Perfectly located to enjoy panoramic views of the village, with convenient access to the best that North Cornwall has to offer, Pebblestones is a fantastic holiday home for a family or group of friends.
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.

The bungalow was in a great location with a brilliant view. The beds were comfortable, the sofas too. Good quality fittings and everything you need. Nice and clean. We were sorry to go home.
