“A delightful cottage, cosy and very clean with beautiful modern decor.”

Very comfortable beds and bedding. Huge deep bath and underfloor heating in bathroom. Luxury! A good base for the north Cornwall coast, easy drives to lots of beaches and the coast path.

“All great. Easy to find footpath to Port Isaac etc.”

cottage very clean and well appointed. Nice size and very comfortable. Minor issues for owners to correct. Medium size frying pan does not work on induction hob. Knife sharpener and basic steamer would be useful. Thanks for a great stay

“Trelights is a Quaint village that was central to everything we wanted.”

Village was quiet and the cottage romantic and quirky. It had everything we needed and would stay again.

“A wonderful cottage location to explore the beautiful Cornish countryside.”

Very well presented, with an abundance of extra small touches. Everything about Camelot Cottage was just spot on perfect.

Sarah August 2022

“We had a lovely stay at Camelot cottage, the cottage is in a great location to explore and it was fantastic to be able to accommodate our friendly dog.”

The cottage is spacious for a family of four and very well equipped, a real home from home. Something to consider is that the stair at top of the staircase coming from the master bedroom is a little tricky and wouldn’t be suitable for younger children as extra caution is needed to navigate it. Another is the lack of privacy in outdoor spaces, the very small patio to the front is open to the street front and the tiny decked area to the back offers absolutely no privacy to the property next door, this also affects privacy when in the upstairs bathroom when windows are open. Finally I would like to point out that although we found the accommodation very clean there were some oversights we encountered, there was a packet of biscuits left out for us which I thought was lovely, however when we went to have one the pack was opened and half eaten, not very hygienic at all.

- Sarah, August 2022

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Camelot Cottage and that you dog was able to enjoy it too! We note your comments about the stairs but the cottage is very old and obviously has its quirks. We have numerous children and elderly guests staying at the cottage and this hasn't been an issue. The courtyard area at the side of the property is not intended to be totally private because it provides access to the side door and rear. However it has a secure pedestrian gate and a wall to the lane at the front which is in an extremely quiet hamlet with relatively few passers- by. The decking area at the rear is private and secluded but has only just been installed and we have planted numerous climbers and large potted trees etc which are gradually becoming more established. There should be no issue with privacy in the bathroom as the window is frosted and there is also a roller blind for additional privacy. The caretaker has apologised for the opened box of biscuits, unfortunately this was an oversight because the box looked unopened. Apologies, we would never intentionally leave a half eaten box of biscuits for our guests! Property Owner

“We absolutely loved Camelot Cottage, a real home from home.”

Fantastic location, super comfortable, would book again in a flash. It was really hard to leave the cottage and the area in general. Thank you so much.

- Steve, July 2022

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at our cottage and that you loved the local area. Thank you for feedback and we hope to see you back again soon. Property Owner

“Cottage very comfortable, very well stocked.”

unfortunately wi -fi proved to be a problem,to make mobile phone calls we had to vacate the cottage walk up the road to get signal we could not receive calls either,and we did have a family crises while we stayed at Camelot cottage.we had a great selection of DVDs but the DVD player did not work,we was impressed that a sanitizer was provide but could not use it because it was empty,radio in the kitchen was provide needed cleaning and when you put main kitchen light on the radio cut out. wall paper had started lifting on the stairs. a real shame about the above would have made the stay more enjoyably.

- Jackie, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback which we always welcome. The Wifi at the property is good, however mobile reception inside can be difficult. For this reason we have provided a land line for guests to use. We have since checked the DVD and this was found to be in good working order, instructions are available at the property. The kitchen radio has a certain texture to it, however, it is certainly not dirty . As a final note, the tiny piece of wallpaper that had lifted slightly in the stairway, has been looked at. We are pleased that you found Camelot Cottage to be comfortable and well stocked. Property Owner

“Camelot Cottage is possibly the best ever of our Cornwall rentals.”

Great location for The Endellion Festivals

“Lovely cottage in a lovely little village, hope to come back sometime when there is any availability.”

Mandy June 2021

“We booked the holiday in 2019, to go in 2020, but due to Covid-19 we had to delay until this year.”

In that time, we acquired another small dog and a Grandson! We asked the owner if we could bring a second dog and asked if there was a travel cot. We were informed that there wasn’t room for a travel cot and we could not take another dog. If prices had not gone sky high after restrictions eased, I would have cancelled. Anyway, we only took one small dog and our own travel cot. There was room for 2 travel cots in the main bedroom! It was a lovely sized bedroom. The cottage was quite comfortable, well equipped and not too far from Port Isaac. The only grumble we had, the mattresses on all 3 beds have seen better days, and the sofas are not very comfy. It is located in a beautiful village.

- Mandy, June 2021

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. The cottage is ideally suited for parties of up to four people (including babies) plus a small dog. We don't provide a cot at the cottage. If there should be a baby in the party, we prefer that guests bring their own travel cot. The mattresses have been checked and are clean and in a good condition. As we all know mattresses are a matter of preference. The 2 sofas have now been replaced. We are glad you found the cottage comfortable and well equipped and enjoyed the village location.

Patricia May 2021

“Loved our second stay at Camelot cottage but there is very little garden.”

..only a tiny patio so this will suit a couple who are out all day possibly walking. Otherwise fabulous cosy cottage well equipped.

- Patricia, May 2021
Philip May 2021

“There needs to be some information on how the hot water system works, we had no hot water on our first morning.”

The garden/patio is very small and not private. The cottage needs some TLC and some new kitchen / cooking equipment.

- Philip, May 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. Your comment regarding the information is understandable as we removed the Welcome Folder at the start of lockdown along with all games, books, DVDs etc as requested by Helpful Holidays. We will return this with all the information and instructions as this obviously goes a long way to helping our guests. We do also remind guests that our caretaker is on hand and is only too happy to help when you need assistance with instructions and local information etc. With regard to TLC, unfortunately works which we had organised had to be cancelled due to lockdown and are rescheduled for October this year. We ask guests to bear with us, as to date we have been extremely diligent and have taken pride in ensuring the property is well maintained and decorated to a high standard. We are surprised to hear there is a need for kitchen/cooking equipment as our caretaker carried out a full check of cooking utensils etc earlier on this year. If guests feel there is anything lacking, we would always welcome specific details in order to make improvements. Property Owner
Anna April 2021

“There needs to be a welcome book telling you how to use appliances and local interests etc.”

Thought this may be to do with covid BUT we went to this cottage from wood view at sands place and they had a great welcome booklet and visitors book. Loved the bath tub, great location for visiting port Issac. Local area immediate to the cottage could do with some talc, as could the cottages front door. Beautifully done inside, comfortable.

- Anna, April 2021
Louise October 2020

“A lovely cottage in a quiet hamlet.”

We were able to walk to port Isaac in about half an hour when on to explore the beautiful SW coast path. It was lovely to return to the comfy cosy cottage.

“Lovely cottage,would definitely recommend”

“The Parking arrangements need to be explained more clearly.”

Apparently it is expected that people park on the same side of the road as the cottage.There is a small space in front of the yard gate, but it didn’t look to have been used so we parked opposite and were informed late in the week that this was not the norm. A small sign on the gate would have been helpful. However, there is ample on road parking just around the corner, so not a problem. We really enjoyed our stay and it was lovely to be away from the crowds in Port Isaac. The cottage was quite spacious, plenty of room for the dog and ourselves and immaculate when we arrived with hand sanitizers and other Covid extras in place. The WiFi worked well which was also a boon on longer autumn evenings. Lots of walking close by without using the car and a great farm shop less than a mile away.

- Anita, September 2020

Thank you for your comments. We're sorry that the parking arrangements caused confusion. These have been discussed with the owner and some amendments have been made to both the descriptive text and the directions to the cottage, which we hope will make things clearer. We're glad that you enjoyed your stay at Camelot Cottage. Port Isaac and the surrounding area are lovely, with fabulous coastal walks and scenery. Property Owner
Charlene January 2020

“Lovely cottage in a great location, had everything you’d need.”

No parking space but as it’s on a quiet road it wasn’t a problem. Lounge is lovely to relax in with the fire and the kitchen is perfect. Property may be more suited to families than couples, as one shower room is downstairs through the kitchen, which wasn’t made clear in the property description. The upstairs bathroom is beautiful and next door to the twin room.

- Charlene, January 2020
Robert December 2019

“Camelot cottage is an idyllic setting.”

There are no shops in the area which suited us. It was only 2 miles to the nearest shops / pubs, so not completely isolated. The living accommodation was magnificent and would recommend to couples or families.

- Robert, December 2019
Paul November 2019

“The only issue with the cottage is car parking.”

There is limited parking in the hamlet and it is difficult to find a safe place to park.

- Paul, November 2019
Donna August 2019

“This is an absolutely lovely cottage.”

It’s clean and has every you need and more. You can park outside but we parked across the road. Beds comfortable which is a bonus. Love the utility room and downstairs shower would having a dog. I don’t think you can find a nicer cottage. Thanks for a lovely visit.

- Donna, August 2019
Adriaan July 2019

“There was insufficient parking available outside the property, despite this being stated in all documentation and we also found the small side yard wasn’t compatible for our dog.”

As this was listed as dog friendly, we would have expected a larger garden and to have restrictions on the upstairs where our dog wasn’t permitted, and also we were not able to leave our dog on her own at any point, made this a restrictive holiday for us.

- Adriaan, July 2019
Laura May 2019

“We had the best holiday in this beautiful cottage, we immediately felt at home and it had everything we needed.”

It was our first family holiday with our two year old daughter and we have made some very special memories exploring the local area. A perfect base away from the hustle and bustle with plenty to see and do in the immediate area. It really has been the most special time - thank you.

- Laura, May 2019
Victoria May 2019

“An ideal spot to use as a base for walking with port isaac, port quin and port gaverne with in a comfortable distance.”

Great bathroom and particularly shower, comfy sofas and well equipped kitchen what more could you need?

- Victoria, May 2019
Linda April 2019

“Had everything we needed.”

Quiet and comfortable for four adults. Very clean and tidy. We walked into port issac in about 25 minutes so the location was great.

- Linda, April 2019

“The cottage as delightful, well decorated and beautifully presented.”

Parking is tight and not particularly easy. The ceilings are low so tall people need to be careful!

The property

Camelot Cottage is a picture-perfect whitewashed Cornish cottage, located in the quiet hamlet of Trelights and within walking distance of both the coastal path and Port Isaac.

For a relaxing family vacation in Cornwall, the cottage has kept many of its historic elements while adding a stylish twist.

When you enter the house, you'll find a warm and inviting living area where you may relax on the sofas and enjoy the warmth of the woodburning stove.

Just past this door is a fully stocked kitchen with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing lunch break.

Two lovely bedrooms await you upstairs; a roomy double and a twin that are both sure to make you happy when you first open their doors in the morning.

The downstairs laundry and shower area is perfect for rinsing out beachwear and removing traces of salt and sand after a day at the beach.

Step outside the kitchen stable door onto the paved courtyard, where you'll discover a table and chairs, perfect for eating a meal under the stars.

Around the corner from the courtyard is a set of wooden steps that lead to an elevated deck with a bistro table and chairs, perfect for a leisurely morning coffee.

Cooked breakfasts, lunches, and cream teas are available at the farm shop and café, a ten-minute stroll away along a picturesque bridleway.

Guests can enjoy their meal indoors or on the café's child-friendly garden, which provides stunning panoramas of the surrounding open countryside.

Or you may head into Port Isaac's historic core, where you'll discover a number of taverns and restaurants, some of which have earned Michelin stars.

The surrounding section of coast walk is so beautiful that it has been classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it a great place to go for a stroll.

Spend an afternoon in the summer exploring Port Isaac's winding alleys and picturesque fishing harbour, or learn about the area's past at Boscastle's mediaeval harbour or nearby Tintagel Castle.

Only four miles away lies the beautiful beach town of Rock, known for its large sandy beach.

The dog-friendly Daymer Bay is a circular walk away, or you can take the foot ferry across the Camel Estuary to the commercial hub of Padstow.

The best surfing beach in the area is in close proximity, and it's Polzeath.

Your vacation in Cornwall at Camelot Cottage will be one you'll never forget.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
