Pop the kettle on for a well-earned cup of tea while you discuss dinner plans with your loved ones; the kitchen offers everything you need to rustle up tasty home-cooked meals including an electric oven and hob, and there is even a handy washing machine for your clothes after a sandy day at the beach. From here, gather in the living/dining room to enjoy your meal as you catch up on the day's events while the open fire crackles nearby. When it is time to relax, flick on the TV and snuggle up before night rolls in and you make your way to bed.

Completing the interior is a family bathroom with both a bath and a walk-in shower; freshen up in the morning with a quick rinse, and unwind in the evenings with a long hot soak. Outside, the garden offers an alternative dining arrangement with the barbecue and furniture on the patio, as well as a place for your four-legged friend to run and stretch on the lawn which is lined by pretty mature shrubbery. This gem of a cottage presents gorgeous views of the rolling hills, while still resting within walking distance of Port Isaac's harbour, meaning picture-perfect walks and plenty of shops and eateries can be reached easily. If you don't fancy cooking one evening, choose from a lovely selection of eateries; cafés to take your morning coffee and cake in, such as Chapel Café, The Krab Pot which is right by the harbour and offers a more hearty meal, two fantastic pubs, The Slipway Restaurants or take your pick of Nathan Outlaw's two fantastic restaurants. Known for being the filming location of Doc Martin and Fishermen's friends, be sure to wander the village and spot the famous sights and houses. Avid walkers will be pleased to find the South West Coastal path just a short distance from the cottage where magnificent clifftop views await, while days out can also be enjoyed further afield at Trebarwith Strand where the sandy expanse can be enjoyed at low tide. Making your way along the coast, the historic village of Tintagel, where the remains of a castle can be explored while you ponder the legends and myths of Kinf Arthur.
