“We both spent a lot of our childhood in Cornwall, and we dream of moving there one day. We especially love Port Isaac because there is something beautifully authentic about it so when the opportunity came to buy and renovate this beautiful cottage we jumped at the chance. Despite not living in Cornwall full time, we are at least getting closer!” Owners Skye and George
They love
“The window seat in the bay window is the ideal place to lie and have a cup of tea with a book…the sun comes up over the valley and floods the house and you can hear the seagulls and see the harbour. Likewise getting cosy up in the top snug is really special in a big winter storm.”
We love
The exquisite design and that four-poster bed.

Surrounds.
- Rise early and start the day with a morning dip in the harbour (a minute’s walk downhill), meandering back via the bakery to pick up fresh bread and morning pastries.
- Join the rugged north coast path towards Port Quin and find secluded sandy coves for a beach day.
- Forage for mussels at low tide or pick up a fresh haul of fish from the quay-side; head home for a BBQ feast on the top terrace as the sun goes down.
- Cyclists can pedal along the Camel Trail from Wadebridge to Padstow (or vice versa), renting bikes at one end and dropping them off at the other. If you end up at Padstow, Rick Stein’s fish and chips are a perfect lunch.
- Surf at one of the local beaches, or take a boat trip with Wavehunters around the islands to spot wild seals and pods of dolphins.
- Foodies should book ahead for a meal at Nathan Outlaw’s restaurants, or wander around the headland round to Port Gaverne Restaurant for seasonal seafood and a magical spot. For simple fish and chips and a local pint, the pub in the harbour is hard to beat!

FAQs.
Yes, a few minutes walk from the cottage.
There is no SMART TV (Sky, Netflix etc) but we do have
DVD’s and a cable for you to connect your laptop if you’d
like.
We don’t allow pets. As much as we love them, we’ve had to
create this rule for everyone that stays due to allergies and
the cottage not being pet-friendly.
