The property's proximity to the beach, coastal paths, and local amenities, along with the convenience of parking, make it an ideal base for exploring Cornwall. The few mentions of water pressure issues do not detract from the overwhelmingly positive feedback.
Reviewers frequently commend the property for its exceptional cleanliness, describing it as 'extremely clean' and 'maintained to a very high standard', which indicates a near-perfect level of cleanliness.

Guests consistently mention the comfort of the property, highlighting 'comfy beds' and a 'home from home' feel. The property seems to provide a very comfortable stay, warranting a high comfort score.
The property is well-equipped and tastefully decorated, with modern facilities. However, there are comments about low water pressure and a suggestion for a pump installation, which slightly impacts the facilities score.

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.

Pristine condition and kitted out to the very highest standard. Perfect location with excellent access to the village with a very important feature of parking on the driveway. Every need was met and you could not even consider to â lookâ for any faults or shortfalls. Will definitely be recommending this property to others.

Why? Because this is simply the perfect house and base for exploring Cornwall. The house has everything you could need, and more. And most importantly, has parking, and the beautiful Port Gaverne cove a matter of steps away. Thank you for another wonderful stay!

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.
