Boasting a commanding position between the sands of Port Isaac and Port Gaverne, this welcoming apartment is one of an exclusive collection of properties within an elegant Edwardian townhouse. Less than 500m from the doorstep, the heart of Port Isaac is famed for its chocolate-box harbour and filming locations; at similar walking distance, the lesser-known hamlet of Port Gaverne has an equally pretty beach and both are pet-friendly all-year-round. For longer walks, continue along the South West Coast Path – head 12 miles west and you’ll reach foodie-favourite Padstow via the ferry from upmarket Rock. Alternatively, a hike of 9 miles in the opposite direction is strenuous but rewards with stunning views as you reach Tintagel, forever associated with Arthurian legends. Popular surfing beach Polzeath is a 7-mile drive; work up an appetite then refuel at one of Port Isaac’s friendly eateries.
Stylish furnishings, wooden floors and unspoilt sea views impress from the moment you step inside this contemporary holiday home. The open-plan living space features a lounge area complete with inviting corner sofa, Smart TV and French doors onto the garden. A dining table sits alongside, while the nearby island unit has bar-style seating for less formal gatherings with snacks, drinks and guidebooks. The sleek kitchen has everything you need for effortless self-catering, including a Smeg coffee machine. When it’s time to sleep, two sanctuary-like bedrooms beckon. The master has a double bed, Smart TV and en-suite shower room. Offering flexibility for any party of four, the second has a twin zip-and-link bed which can, on request, be made up instead as a king-size beds. A family bathroom completes the comfort for all.
Step through those French doors from the lounge area and your patio garden, bordered by lawn, has stylish bench-style seating on either side of a table so you can enjoy al fresco dining with a side-serving of sea air and views towards Tintagel. You’ll find an allocated parking space to the rear of the property, plus a charming beach hut-style store where you can stow surfboards and outdoor gear.
