Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found Seahaven to be well-kept, with only a single mention of suboptimal cleaning in the fridge and cupboards. The gardens are praised for their maintenance, suggesting a generally high standard of cleanliness.
The location is consistently lauded for its splendid sea views and proximity to local amenities and beaches. The availability of parking and the ease of access to Port Isaac's offerings contribute to a perfect score.
Guests describe the beds as 'super comfy' and the property as spacious and relaxing, with multiple mentions of the comfortable furnishings. However, a few guests noted the property could be warmer and the lounge could benefit from additional seating.
The property is praised for its well-equipped nature and quality features. However, points are deducted for reported issues with heating control, mould in an en-suite, and some tired garden furniture. The presence of a cinema room and ample parking are positives.
While guests appreciated the story of Seahaven and the picture in the cinema room, there are inconsistent reports regarding welcome packs and gifts. As such, it's not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness based on the available reviews.
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.

There are however a couple of points Iâd like to raise. The second en-suite with the wooden sink unit is absolutely covered in black mould, this was raised by a family member within hours of being in the property. The window in this room was also stuck shut. This left the room smelling horrible and every shower added moisture to allow the mould to thrive. The blue velvet sofa in the lounge, the seat cushion zip has failed, so as soon as you sit on it, it starts to come away from the foam, making it extremely uncomfortable, and required repeat intervention to prevent it coming off completely. Kitchen utensils, whilst the kitchen is pretty well stocked, there are a few things missing; kitchen scales, frying pan splash screen, plastic/glass measuring jugs (for microwave use) to name a few. One of the knives in the knife block has failed due to it being put in the dishwasher, the wood has rotted from the metal blade. The garden furniture, this has become tired, and several cushions appear to be missing, it might be time to invest in a new set, as it spoils the time in the garden The property book mentioned a hand held vac, but we couldnât find it so had to dig out Henry instead. These points aside we still really enjoyed our stay!
