Two Self Catering Holiday Cottages

'Seaways' and 'Creekside'
Port Gaverne, nr Port Isaac
North Cornwall

Gullrock is a group of nine dwellings, which stands less than a hundred yards from the head of the beach and the coast path at Port Gaverne. Gullrock started life about two hundred years ago as the "Liberty" fish cellars or palace, and has been, at various times since, residential accommodation, a hotel, and holiday homes.

All the private grounds of Gullrock, the courtyard, the car park, the barn, the pathways and the river lawn, bordered by the lane on one side and the stream on the other, are available for the use of all residents. The courtyard is a pleasant suntrap during the entire day at any time of year, and the garden furniture is all for the use of visitors. Just outside the courtyard gate, the river lawn is safely away from the building for ball games and other boisterous pursuits (weather and state of the grass permitting). For the less energetic, you may prefer a barbecue or an old fashioned picnic or simply to sit and watch the moorhens by the leat.

This cottage is the most spacious in Gullrock, providing generously for six people in one double and two twin bedded rooms. It occupies the single storey arm, and is entered off the courtyard into the kitchen-diner.

Brass centre and wall lamps and attractive table lamps, plus extra spotlights in the kitchen, ensure good lighting. There are deep window sills in the stone and cob walls and some period furnishings, mingling old style charm and new style convenience in homely harmony.

Entered from the lane via five slate steps into the hallway, Creekside is all on one floor, but because this arm of Gullrock is built into the slope of the hill, windows on the lane side are just above ground level, whilst windows on the other side overlook the courtyard from first storey height, and give views over the rest of Gullrock, and up Port Gaverne valley. "Creekside" sleeps six in one double, one twin and two single bedrooms.

This part of Gullrock was the earliest to be used as living accommodation, and some of the ceilings and doorways are low - not much over 6ft in the hall, kitchen, bedroom 3 and bathroom. It is an historic and cosy dwelling.
