  • "Inside the cottage was lovely."

    We were disappointed that there was no welcome pack. All of our previous properties through John Bray have left a variety of scones, wine, milk, soap, etc. We had no logs or coal for the log burner; and not even salt or pepper. It doesn’t take a lot to do a little something like this, and certainly not a lot of money. We would not choose to stay in this cottage again.

    Thank you for taking the time to feedback on your stay. We are afraid that as self catering accommodation. This property does not offer these provisions. We do hope that you enjoyed your stay regardless - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

  • "This is a very comfortable and tastefully furnished cottage internally."

    It is well-equipped and maintained and was spotlessly clean. The exterior does not quite match up to the attractive interior - the cottage has a rather odd outlook and the small garden is accessible only from the main bedroom (this was pointed out in the description). It's an advantage to have any parking in Post Isaac and this cottage does have a small space right outside. Overall we enjoyed the stay, but could have done with a better photograph of the front of the cottage to have had a complete picture of the kind of house this was. The check-in/check-out times do mean that you lose almost a day as well. The latter is becoming common to all rentals, though it is not universal by any means.

  • "This was a wonderfully comfortable cottage in a great location, quiet but only a stone's throw from the centre of Port Isaac."

    The cottage has been very tastefully decorated and the beds are super comfy. The log burner was a real bonus after a day out braving the elements, and it was so handy having a parking space. The only slight disappointment was the fact that there was no "welcome" pack. It's the first Sykes property that we've stayed in which didn't provide the basics eg milk, bread. Luckily we managed to catch the Coop before it closed. Same in the bathroom where we could have done with a bar of soap. Would absolutely recommend this property however.

  • "Cottage very comfortable, easy walk down to quay or to Port Gaverne."

    Only problem was that we couldn’t use the bbq as it was very dirty and full of ash, which I reported. The freezer was iced up badly which I also reported just for your information - we didn’t use it for anything other than ice cubes so it wasn’t a problem for us. Only other problem, that obviously is not the fault of Sykes and which is also driving the locals mad, was the noise & mess caused by a horde of seagulls nesting on the flat roofs around the cottage. My husband’s pride and joy car was divebombed regularly!

    Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are pleased to hear you found the cottage to be very comfortable and well located for an easy walk to the local villages. We are sorry for the dirty BBQ and freezer icing up but do appreciate you letting us know so we can get the maintenance team to attend. to it. John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.

  • "The property worked very well for us."

    It had all the facilities we wanted but the main attraction was the location. To able to walk into the town easily was a real plus. We enjoyed it very much and we have already talked about coming back to repeat our trip. So thanks very much and we will see you soon.

  • "Mino Cottage is a lovely, clean and very well appointed holiday cottage which provides a perfect base for a holiday on the North Cornish coastline at Port Isaac."

    We immediately felt at home in the cottage which has very recently been renovated and revamped. You are provided with everything to make your holiday comfortable and all fittings and furnishings are really of the very highest order. The cottage has been renovated with the greatest care and attention to detail. A beautiful kitchen and living room is complemented with two comfortable bedrooms. There is a lovely garden with great seating and facilities. The cottage is situated close to the centre, but set back in a lovely quiet setting. This part of the North Cornish coast has some wonderful walks and views with crystal clear water. This was a lovely holiday!
