“A charming property and the welcome was warm and sincere.”

We think it's a gem of a place, and perhaps we'll return one day as it's a great location to do as much or little as one pleases. Compliments to the owners!

“Great cottage and we were lucky enough to have the caretakers next to us ( attached) they were extremely helpful .”

Dogs loved the walks to!

“Mill Barn is in a lovely rural setting, 10 min walk on a footpath (can be muddy if it rains) to Port Isaac.”

Lenka and Richard, your hosts, are very friendly and accommodating and live right next door. Mill Barn is rustic but has everything you need. Highly recommend it!

“The road to the cottage was hair raising and should be explained as such.”

Port Issac was only a 10 minute walk however it was through a field of overgrown grasses and a wood which was boggy. So not a pleasant walk

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We do make every effort to ensure that properties are accurately described on the website. In this case it is noted on the listing for Mill Barn that: 'This property is accessed via an unmade road which passes through a field and may not be suitable for low slung vehicles.' Most guests really enjoy the scenic approach to the property. The footpath to Port Isaac is a rural walkway which can be narrow in places and of course is affected by the weather at times! At certain times of the year it may be advisable to wear wellies or walking boots to improve your enjoyment of this handy footpath! Property Owner

“Absolutely amazing property and the hosts were also just the best we could have asked for - so helpful and nothing was ever too much.”

The property is perfect being very quiet but a 10min stroll along a footpath into Port Isaac.

The property

At the end of a long private drive with only two neighbouring properties sits this peaceful Grade II listed former watermill, less than 1/2 mile by footpath (walking boots may be required) from the picturesque harbour of Port Isaac.

Mill Barn is a charming holiday base for friends and families who want to explore this popular fishing village, which found fame as the backdrop to the ITV television series Doc Martin.

The barn has been laid out reverse level to make the very most of the countryside views.

Enter on the first floor to spacious open-plan living room with a vaulted and beamed ceiling, Juliet balcony and a sociable dining area.

There's a neat kitchen which houses everything you'll need to cater for the family.

On the ground floor are two cool, comfortable bedrooms; a double with a kingsize bed and a twin.

They share a Jack and Jill style cloakroom, whilst the main shower room can be found on the first floor.

Outside, across the old farmyard, there's an enclosed garden bordered by a pretty stream; a peaceful setting with a table and chairs where you can enjoy breakfast or dinner when the sun shines.

You'll want to explore Port Isaac, but with some of the narrowest thoroughfares in the UK you might want to leave the car behind!

Instead, take a leisurely 10 minute stroll along the rustic footpath to the village centre, where you will find a choice of shops and eateries.

Explore the maze of narrow streets before stopping off at the picturesque harbour, where fishing and scenic trips can be taken during the summer months.

Keen walkers can use Port Isaac as a base in which to walk the famous South West Coast Path to enjoy the dramatic coastal landscape and to admire the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Heritage Coastline.

Neighbouring Port Gaverne offers a small sandy beach, as well as opportunities for sea-kayaking and coasteering days out.

Slightly further away is Polzeath, the area's best surfing beach and Daymer Bay, dog friendly all year round.

Fascinating Tintagel Castle, Pencarrow House and Garden in Bodmin, as well as the Pentargon Waterfall in Boscastle are all within easy reach.

With so much to do and see you're assured of a wonderful time at Mill Barn.

PORT ISAAC

Polzeath 6 miles; Padstow 9 miles

Port Isaac; one of the true Cornish treasures. 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.

Note: This property has a 5pm check in and a 9am check out time. Note: This property is accessed via an unmade road which passes through a field and may not be suitable for low slung vehicles.
