Stanley house

We chose this property because of the description of facilities, which turned out to be incorrect. It listed two beds in each of the main bedrooms and one full and one half bath. Because we were travelling with a person with a disability, it was important that this person have access to his own toilet and own bed, with his wife in the next bed. Instead she had to sleep in another room on another floor, looking after him during the night was incredibly difficult and exhausting. The rooms were not particularly clean, bits of rubbish under beds etc. Very disappointing.

Review

Clean and well presented accommodation right in the heart of Port Isaac - Deli pasty & coffee shops all within minutes walk together with restaurants bars & the seafood shop with freshly caught & prepared lobster & crab at a fraction of the cost of some of the establishments.

Why they chose this property

Port Isaac is a fishing village and known for the filming of the Doc Martin series and Fishermens Friends. As well as this, there is a wealth of history waiting to be discovered amongst some of the cobbled streets. The scenery on a clear day takes your breath away. Shops, the beach, well known restaurants and pub are within easy access of the property.
Port Isaac is also within easy reach of Wadebridge where you can hire bikes and cycle the Camel Trail to Padstow or Bodmin. You can even stop off along the way at the Camel Valley vineyard and sample some delicious wines.
The dramatic rugged North Cornwall coastline of Trebarwith Strand, Daymer Bay and Polzeath are close by with surf schools, cafes, bars, beautiful walks all of which will provide the most relaxing or adventurous memories to take home with you. The mystical town of Tintagel, home to the legendary King Arthur, is an easy drive from the property including the wizard Merlin’s beachfront cave. Rock is also nearby and here you can gain access to the ferry which can take you across to Padstow. This is another area that has become Cornwall’s food capital, thanks to its restaurants, seafood shops and connections to the chef Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth.
The south coast is accessible from the apartment and here, as well as the north coast, you will find stunning coastal walks to explore the beauty of Cornwall. There are many other numerous attractions to suit all tastes including The Eden Project, Bodmin Jail’s newly opened museum, Land's End and National Trust properties.
