About the location
PORT ISAAC
Polzeath 6 miles; Padstow 9 miles
Port Isaac, one of the undiscovered treasures of Cornwall. A beautiful fishing village nestling in a steep sided valley, the old village in the valley remains unchanged from its days of fishing, slate export and smuggling in the previous century. An abundance of small character properties complemented by larger cliff-top retreats, can be found with easy access to the numerous restaurants and shops of the village. The sandy harbour provides an abundance of rock pools as the tide retreats. Only ten minutes drive from the beaches of Polzeath, Daymer and Rock, it is perfect for romantic and family holidays alike. There is ample parking at the top of the village or on the beach during the times displayed.
Note: Please note this property does not provide towels.
During October the neighbouring property will have scaffold erected at the bottom of the garden.The area will be screened of and 2/3rds of the garden will still be accessible.
