Guests say
Seahaven is a well-loved cottage in Port Isaac, praised for its stunning views, spaciousness, and stylish decor. Guests have enjoyed the comfortable beds, well-maintained gardens, and the bonus of ample parking. The location is ideal, with easy access to local amenities and attractions. While some minor issues were raised, the overall experience has been overwhelmingly positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
Most guests found Seahaven to be well-maintained, though there were isolated comments about cleaning not being up to standard, including a dusty bathroom and a smelly fridge. However, these seem to be exceptions in an otherwise high standard of cleanliness.
The location is consistently lauded for its splendid views and proximity to local bars, restaurants, and beaches. The quiet setting and the convenience of nearby shops add to the appeal, making the location almost perfect.
Guests have praised the comfortable beds and the relaxing atmosphere of the property. Some concerns were raised about the heating system and seating arrangements, but overall, the comfort level is reported to be very high.
The property is well-equipped with quality furnishings, though some guests mentioned issues with mould, heating control, and garden furniture. Maintenance responsiveness is a plus, but there is room for improvement in ensuring all facilities are in top condition.
While some guests mentioned a welcome pack, there were inconsistencies in its provision, and it is not guaranteed. The property's thoughtfulness is reflected in the overall positive experiences, but due to the lack of consistent references to gifts or extra touches, a score cannot be provided.
About this property
Situated in an elevated position in the popular fishing village of Port Isaac, Seahaven is a contemporary and immaculately presented coastal retreat. Stylish and well-appointed, the property was built in 2020, with specific attention given to creating a relaxing environment from which to enjoy the magnificent aspect, commanding spectacular sea views towards Tintagel Head. This property provides high quality accommodation and is the ultimate coastal sanctuary for families or a group of friends in this lovely North Cornwall base. Relax in the very well-equipped light and airy kitchen, with an adjacent open-plan social space incorporating a welcoming dining and living area with Smart TV offering Freeview, Netflix, and Amazon for your entertainment, further extending via French doors onto the large, landscaped gardens. If you fancy watching something different, the additional snug room is the perfect space to kick back and relax, as you select your favourite show from the Smart TV, also with Freeview, Netflix, and Amazon. Discover a separate utility, which houses a washing machine and tumble dryer for keeping your holiday wardrobe fresh, as well as a bar fridge, ideal for keeping your favourite tipples cool and crisp. Just off the utility is a shower with large walk-in shower for washing off sandy toes after a day at the beach! In the evening, climb the stairs up to the first floor, where four beautifully presented rooms will greet you, a super-king-size and king-size, both with en-suite shower rooms and stunning sea views, a twin, and two sets of adult bunks, all with plenty of storage for housing your belongings. Awake from a leisurely slumber and savour a steaming cup of coffee, courtesy of the Nespresso coffee machine, out in the enclosed garden as you soak up the spectacular, panoramic sea views and make plans for a barbecue in the evening. Take a walk around the charming fishing village of Port Isaac where you will find a selection of shops, art galleries, cafes and pubs, and for those with a love of outdoor pursuits, an abundance of walks, beaches and swimming spots. Alternatively, head to the nearby beach of Polzeath famed for their world class surf, or the golden sands of Daymer Bay, or over to the sailing hub of Rock. A little further afield is the town of Wadebridge, a lively hub of the north coast and well worth a visit. Perfectly located for discovering all that this part of North Cornwall has to offer, Seahaven is an ideal spot for a break year-round.
One of the true Cornish treasures, Port Isaac is a beautiful fishing village in a steep sided valley. The old village still retains historical features from the days of fishing, slate export and smugglers. Numerous restaurants, pubs and shops scatter the streets, whilst the sandy harbour offers an abundance of rock pools and spots to relax under the sun, ideal for romantic or family holidays alike. Port Isaac is the perfect base to explore the spectacular Cornish coastline.

Amazing views - location great but not at all noisey - and nice welcome pack on arrival. My only negative was were told not to check in till 4.00 on day of arrival and check out on leaving day was 9.30 - when you are only staying for two nights this eats in to slot of your time at the property. Also there are slightly scary/dictatorial instructions that all beds must be stripped, house hoovered and cleaned and dishwasher empty before leaving. Not sure what the cleaners are being paid to do because we basically ended up doing their job for them and at £1500 for two nights we all thought that was abit of a cheek and it made our last morning quite stressful especially with the early check out. But I wd recommend this lovely house and we did have a very nice time.
