Beautiful holiday let in Cornwall

CharleyRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Millendreath has changed dramatically in the 12 years since I first visited; although there is still no phone signal. The WiFi provided is invaluable and you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a lesser spotted telephone box... The apartment is a perfect base for exploring the area and I could have sat on the balcony looking at the sea for an entire day. Already looking at dates for next year.

Hirondelle Barn

LouiseRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Great location for exploring Cornwall (especially the seal sanctuary in Gweek) accommodation is well stocked and spotlessly clean - photos don’t do it justice. Karen is friendly and responsive :)

Superbly appointed 2 bed, 2 bath detached barn

SkidmoreRating, 5 stars2 months ago
What can we say another wonderful stay and we will be back again this year! It’s home from home and so cosy and it’s just immaculate. So easy to get on the A30 and very central to get to places. It’s beautifully quiet and we just enjoy going back of an evening and being able to cook and relax in a cosy atmosphere. Do not hesitate to book it will be well worth it. Thank you again Christopher & Phillipa xx

Greenway; Family coastal rural barn, Hartland

RoseRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved our short stay at Chris’ place. It was in beautiful surroundings near a glorious beach. Chris communicated brilliantly before our stay even though we only booked the night before we arrived! His place was really cosy and safe for our baby to romp around. There’s a handy baby gate at the top of the stairs and lots of books and toys that kept her entertained. The beds were really comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Your guide to Port Isaac

All About Port Isaac

Sheltered by high cliffs, the fishing village of Port Isaac sits on the north coast of Cornwall in the southwest of England, and has provided a harbour for the area for hundreds of years. A popular meeting place in Port Isaac is the Platt, a small open area by the slipway where fishermen store their equipment. This is also where you’ll notice the colourful boat at the lifeboat station, ready to leap into action along the north Cornish coast. As you stand here, you can see the whitewashed cottages winding their way up the steep hillside.

Many of the buildings in Port Isaac are from the 18th and 19th centuries, and walking the streets here can sometimes feel like stepping back in time. It’s easy to understand why television shows and movies use the village as a filming location. When you walk up the narrow alleyways (or “opes,” as they’re called in Cornwall), you can see that Port Isaac’s footprint was designed long before the invention of cars. It even features one of the narrowest alleyways in the country, often referred to as Squeeze Belly Avenue.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Port Isaac

If you want to relax on the beaches, the summer is the best time to come, when temperatures are high and sunshine is abundant. This is also when Cornwall and Port Isaac see the highest number of visitors. Surfers may wish to come back in the winter months, particularly in February when the waves are at their strongest. The signposted South West Coast Path that follows the coast of Cornwall can be explored at any time of the year, and especially bracing walks can be experienced during the quieter months when it is generally darker, wetter, windier, and colder. One of the busiest times of the year is in the middle of September, when the village hosts its three-day Shanty Festival, where you can hear the folk songs that sailors and fishermen sing when they are out at sea.


Top things to do in Port Isaac

Tintagel Castle

One of the most breathtaking sights on the north coast of Cornwall is Tintagel Castle, which is around a 30-minute drive from Port Isaac. A new 70-metre footbridge, reaching 58 metres above the sea, takes you to the dramatic location of the ruins of this 13th-century castle on Tintagel Island, with its high cliffs and rocks. Its most famous stories are closely linked with the legends of King Arthur.

Polzeath Beach

When the tide goes out at Port Isaac, locals take advantage of the small beach next to the fishing boats. But if you’re looking to stretch out on a wide swathe of golden sand, Polzeath Beach is only six kilometres away with lifeguards in the summer and surfers riding the waves.

Pencarrow House and Gardens

Set among 50 acres of parkland, Pencarrow House and Gardens provide a green oasis about eight miles from Port Isaac. Walking trails take you around the lake and through the woodland, which boasts camellias and rhododendrons. The imposing Pencarrow House itself dates back to the 18th century and is filled with stories of the family who still live here to this day.
