The owners have done a great job restoring this property. It is very well equipped and it has very comfortable beds. The property is a lovely holiday letting to spend few days with the family. A quite place where you can only hear the birds. We have grown up kids but it is perfect for small children who would love the animals in the farm. ##### Marialuz Andres Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah R. 14 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cant wait to come back Perfect.Lovely property, great location.

Hosts onsite and ready and willing to help. 100% need a car and be confident driving Cornish lanes (think grass down the middle and good reversing skills!) This is the 2nd time we have stayed and its so convenient for the areas of Cornwall we love and so nice to come home to a warm and comfortable cottage. ##### Antony P.

We based ourselves here and all villages in Cornwall are a drivable distance. It was perfect for our Port Isaac visit as we are huge Doc Martin fans. Charmion the owner was available 24/7 to answer any questions and make suggestions. She makes the best Scones in England! The house was spotless, very roomy, (bigger than we thought from the photos) and has everything we needed. We would highly recommend staying here. ##### Kimberley H.

On this occasion I can say it was exactly as advertised. It was very clean, just as the photos show a beautiful cottage. The owners were on site if needed but left you in peace, just checking all was ok when you arrived. The welcome cream tea was lovely to find waiting on the side. It was nice to see the Donkeys and Goats and even feed them. The cottage was in a good position to visit most attractions about 25 mins from the coast either way. Thank you very much to the hosts Charmion and Charles for a wonderful week and we would defiantly Recommend you try this for your self. We may even revisit. ##### Alan G.

The chorus of owls at night was amazing. ##### Arthur B. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Wai-ling W. 23 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely cottage We went as a family of 5 and the cottage was spacious, extremely clean and beds were very comfortable. The welcome scones, milk and water was a lovely gesture. I hadn’t realised how rural it was and it took some time to get used to the narrow country lanes. My only criticism is that it would be useful to have a bigger freezer (it’s only a tiny compartment within the fridge), you can’t even fit a pizza in. The kitchen is well equipped but could have done with a few more dinner plates. But it was nice to have washing up liquid, tea towels, bin bags and dishwasher tablets already provided. In all, it’s a really lovely, warm and spacious cottage. ##### Wai-ling W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### anand g. 17 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Seabright Cottage Absolutely lovely property would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting to visit the north Cornish Coast.
