About this property

Fisherman's Cottage in the heart of Port Isaac

Our cottage, Choughs, is a very good-value, self-catering holiday home, ideal for up to THREE ADULTS or TWO ADULTS & TWO CHILDREN and located right in the heart of the old village by the harbour in a narrow, traffic-free street. It is a traditional fisherman's cottage, with layout and dimensions reflecting its 19th-century heritage.

Port Isaac is a 700-year-old fishing village, nestling between the cliffs on the rugged north Cornwall coast. It has been welcoming tourists for years but retains a quaint and uncommercialised charm. Recently, it has been widely admired as the beautiful setting for TV series Doc Martin and the film The Shell Seekers. It is the home of Outlaw's New Road, the successor venue to Restaurant Nathan Outlaw, which was rated the best restaurant in Britain by the Good Food Guide 2018, while the chef's other venue in Port Isaac, Outlaw's Fish Kitchen, is just around the corner from the cottage. There are several other great places to eat. Port Isaac is also an ideal base from which to visit Padstow, Rock, the beaches at Polzeath and Daymer Bay, Tintagel Castle and the National Trust's Lanhydrock House and Gardens. The Eden Project, St Michael's Mount and Tate St Ives are all within easy reach by car.

Tiny with everything

This is someone's home so it is chock full of furniture and the cupboards are laden with everything you may need. Comfortable enough, with steep steps to the two upper levels. A happy place to stay. It was left cleaner than found, despite the poor vacuum. Lovely location. Enjoyed amazing coastline scenery, walks, places to visit, plenty of good eateries, and fresh seafood available. Major downside, sadly, Port Isaac is heaving with dogs, and the consequences.

Lovely Fisherman's Cottage

The cottage is right in the heart of Port Isaac which is a stunning fishing village packed with history. Its definitely small but has everything you could need. It's been very well thought out. The location is outstanding and we enjoyed eating in the various local restaurants and pubs all within walking distance. The owner was very helpful and informative and we felt the whole process was stress free. There is a lot to do locally. Without driving you can do boat trips, coasteering, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing and eating out. Should you drive its a great location for various towns, villages and beaches. I would not recommend it for anyone who struggles with steep steps or walking up hills or for anyone who wants to cook big meals at home very evening but for us it was perfect!

Picturesque Port Issac

Cheough Cottage Fantastic location The cottage is very tired and in need of refurbishment. Shabby and uncomfortable furniture. Walls need repainting and very dirty in lots if areas. However this did not spoil our staycation
