Perfect for family or friends, this characterful barn conversion offers a contemporary taste of Cornish living. Boasting a wood burner, two en-suite bedrooms and a beautiful walled garden, it’s pet-friendly and just a 1.5-mile walk from Port Isaac.
Surrounded by countryside and with countless coastal hot spots on the doorstep, this single-storey self-catering retreat has private parking so you can unpack and explore at leisure. Drop bags and coats by the entrance then step into the vaulted living room, where soft seating is arranged around the TV, a wood burner delivers after-dark ambience, and French doors open onto the suntrap courtyard. Adjacent, the kitchen has dual-aspect windows and houses all the essentials of home, including a Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine and a circular dining table. When it’s time to sleep, head along the hallway and two sanctuary-like bedrooms await. Choose between a spacious king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room, or a twin room with an en-suite bathroom and zip-and-link beds that convert to a super-king-size on request. Open those French doors in the living room and step straight into the courtyard garden to enjoy al fresco food and drinks in the sunshine – a charcoal BBQ is provided. Beyond, a beautiful Elizabethan walled garden is enclosed for pet-owners’ and parents’ peace of mind.
It’s a leafy walk across fields and along lanes to Port Isaac, famous as the home of shanty singers Fisherman’s Friends and TV medic Doc Martin. Close-by, the sheltered cove at Port Gaverne (2 miles) is a favourite for watersports, while Polzeath (5.5 miles) has larger golden sands and an enticing choice of restaurants and bars. Drive 6.5 miles cross-county to the upmarket village of Rock and you can catch a ferry across the Camel Estuary to foodie-favourite Padstow.
