Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests have repeatedly noted the property's exceptional cleanliness, describing it as 'extremely clean' and 'maintained to a very high standard', which indicates a near-perfect level of cleanliness.
The location is frequently highlighted as fantastic, with easy access to the beach, local walks, and Port Isaac. The convenience of parking and the quiet setting are also appreciated, suggesting a very high satisfaction with the location.
Reviewers have expressed great satisfaction with the comfort of the property, mentioning 'comfy beds', a 'homely' feel, and a 'home from home' experience, which reflects a very comfortable stay.
The property is praised for its well-equipped nature and modern facilities. However, a few comments about the hot water pressure and a suggestion for additional kitchenware slightly lower the score, though overall the facilities are highly regarded.
While guests have appreciated the extra touches and attention to detail, there are no specific mentions of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness in terms of gifts, and the score is set to null.
About this property
In the beautiful cove of Port Gaverne, is the very desirable three-bedroomed holiday home Stop Tide. Located just a short walk from Port Isaac’s harbour, and within easy reach of North Cornwall’s many attractions, this well-appointed and stylish property makes for a wonderful family base.
On the ground floor is a delightful open-plan living area, with a superb light grey kitchen, plus a spacious dining and sitting area - a wonderful social space to gather in as a group and plan your holiday activities, or to enjoy a relaxing meal together. On the first floor are three tastefully furnished bedrooms, including a King-size double, a twin and a single, plus a family bathroom.
Doors off the living area lead out to a sublime sun terrace, with outdoor furniture and lighting, making this a great spot for an alfresco lunch or evening drinks in the Cornish sunshine.
Whilst Port Gaverne is literally ‘on the doorstep’ of Stop Tide, there are countless more coves peppering the coastline, just waiting to be explored. Take to the South West Coast Path for mesmerising views and beaches aplenty, or jump in the car and journey to the likes of Polzeath 7 miles away. Wadebridge is just 9 miles away, where you can browse the shops and walk the Camel Trail, before returning to Port Isaac for dinner in one of the fabulous restaurants, a short walk from your accommodation.
In an ideal location for a seaside getaway, Stop Tide is a bolthole in a great position from which to enjoy all the North Cornwall coastline has to offer.
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. There is ample parking at the top of the village and the village is a popular tourist destination with plenty of attractions including the dramatic Doyden Castle, the beautiful Lundy Bay and the famous Doc Martin's clinic. There are also plenty of pubs, restaurants, and shops in the village. Just a short drive from the beaches of Polzeath, Daymer and Rock, it is perfect for romantic and family holidays alike.

We stayed a few times in these cottages when Dennis Knight owned them so they have changed alot since then. Stayed at a property at Castle Rock since built but last year we decided as it needed a lot of TLC we would have a change. Glad we did and have already booked again for next year.
