In the heart of Port Isaac
Outside area
This attractive comfortable and welcoming stone cottage is in the middle of the well-known fishing village of Port Isaac, home to Doc Martin, about 75 yards from the harbour and adjacent to a millstream which runs through a neighbour's garden.
There is a grocery store at the top of the hill about a quarter of a mile away and a small selection of shops, pubs and restaurants next to the attractive harbour and old village. The Fisherman's Friends Sea Shanty Singers can still occasionally be seen on a summer evening by the quayside in Port Isaac.
For a wider choice of amenities, the market town of Wadebridge is about 9 miles away. Port Isaac and Port Gaverne have small stoney beaches at low tide and the glorious sandy beaches on the Camel Estuary, including Polzeath, Daymer Bay and Rock are all approximately a 15-minute drive. The immediate area offers spectacular coastal walking on the cliffs to the east and west and both the NT harbour of Boscastle and Tintagel's mediaeval castle are 10 miles.
Slightly set apart from the cottage there is a sunny patio garden (not enclosed) at the rear of the property which has a bench seat, however pets will require supervision outside.
With its narrow streets of white-washed cottages and Cornish slate-fronted houses, winding your way through picturesque Port Isaac can feel like taking a step back in time. Steeped in maritime history, the village was once home to a thriving pilchard fishing industry and a bustling port, and with much of the old centre of the village dating back to the 18th century, many buildings here are officially listed because of their architectural and historic importance.
Today Port Isaac is an idyllic spot to base your holiday in Cornwall. Based in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and on the Atlantic Heritage Coast, there are beautiful views whichever way you look. During the summer months, fishing and scenic trips can be taken from the harbour, whilst the South West Coast Path offers stunning coastal views at any time of year.
Nearby Port Gaverne is a pretty unspoilt cove around the corner from Port Isaac which is perfect for families with young children, with its sheltered, sandy beach, and plenty of fascinating rock pools to explore. Whilst the popular surfing beach at Polzeath, is just 4 miles away, as is the golden sandy beach at Daymer Bay, which is very family and dog-friendly.
A few miles to the west, and within hiking distance, is Port Quin, a village deserted since sometime in the 19th century when all of its menfolk were lost one night in a storm at sea. Now it is primarily owned by the National Trust. The walk from Port Isaac to Port Quin offers breathtaking views, and along the route you will pass Doyden Castle, a truncated Gothic tower on a rocky outcrop that was once used in the TV drama, Poldark.
Just 1.5 miles from Port Isaac you'll come across the only public gardens on the North Cornish coast, Long Cross Victorian Gardens. The gardens overlook the coastline and retain their original Victorian layout, featuring 4 acres, a maze, small lake, dovecote, children's play area and pets' corner.
A holiday cottage in Port Isaac provides a lovely setting from which to base your holiday in North Cornwall.
Although narrow cars may be unloaded outside, the village car park is at the top of the hill. The shops, inns and restaurants are all close at hand
