A sheltered patio terrace is perfect for outdoor dining and for sitting in the evenings and watching the sunset. Port Isaac is a charming village that still has a working fishing harbour, as well as a good choice of shops, pubs and restaurants. It will be recognisable to many as a filming location used for Poldark and as the fictional village of Portwen from the TV series Doc Martin.

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.

The en-suite shower door does not close all shower traps need to be cleaned and cleared poor water pressure. On the cleanliness side we found a few dirty dishes in the cupboards, lots of cobwebs, and a couple of previous guests personal items. Property is looking a bit tired. On a positive note lots of space for our family of eight.

Sadly limited view to sea as requires some hedge cutting!! TV set up needs updating (no smart tv), current TV screen very temperamental! Also just to note the back garden is fully enclosed for a dog but the front garden is not and this is where the sea views are (when you can actually see them) and the best outside seating area is.

A number of tiles up to and on the patio are loose and potentially dangerous. That said, the location and sea view are wonderful and the view could be made even better with some judicious hedge trimming. Inside is mostly comfortable; outside furniture could be updated. The shower door in the en-suite needs fixing as does the towel rail in the downstairs shower room. Generally ok but not a premium listing.
