Return from days at the beach to a maritime-inspired cottage in Port Isaac. This quaint fishing village has been put on the map by the television series, Doc Martin, and with its lines of whitewashed cottages and a picturesque harbour, it's a beautiful spot to peruse at your own leisure. When you’re not tucking into freshly caught seafood on Port Isaac’s harbour, travel to the lesser-known hamlet of Port Gaverne (0.5 miles) for beach afternoons, dolphin spotting and water-based activities, such as paddleboarding or wild swimming. You could even join the South West Coast Path to take in scenic stretches of the Cornish coastline. Further afield, Tintagel (10 miles) offers legendary discovery around its castle, or sample award-winning fare over at the harbour town of Padstow (16 miles).
Step inside this romantic retreat to a warm and inviting, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner where a crackling wood burner sets the scene for relaxed evenings. Slate floors and whitewashed walls provide a refined backdrop, while the solid wooden dining table is ideally placed for casual breakfasts or evening takeaways. The adjoining kitchen seamlessly blends cottage charm with modern convenience, featuring a stylish Smeg fridge and all the essentials for easy home cooking. On the first floor, the super-king-size bedroom offers a touch of character with its Victorian fireplace, while the adjacent king-size bedroom provides plenty of built-in storage and a desk for catching up with emails. Both bedrooms have access to two bathroom facilities: one spa-like shower room and one spacious family bathroom. On the top floor, a queen-size bedroom creates a playful retreat, with rose-pink tones, fairy lights, and a cosy reading nook tucked beneath the beams. A daybed is also available upon request.
Outside, a magical space of rustic wooden details, soft lighting and seaside vistas set the backdrop for feasts under the stars, or for striking up the charcoal BBQ on the rooftop terrace. The nearby garden room is a lovely little hideaway for crafting cocktails. For parking, guests will find one designated space at a nearby garage, on-street parking for one car, and Brooklands View public car park just over 0.5 miles away.
