“A lovely clean and comfortable place to spend a holiday with spectacular views.”

The location of this property is on a quiet street and perfectly placed to make the most of the views.

The location of this property is on a quiet street and perfectly placed to make the most of the views. We had everything we needed and after a hard days walking this was the perfect place to relax and recover, ready for the next day’s adventure.

“We booked the cottage at very late notice for a stay in March and everything was handled very nicely by Sykes.”

The house itself was clean, well equipped and recently decorated. Views over the sea were excellent, particularly from the conservatory with it's heated floor, making it a very pleasant place to sit during the very stormy Saturday afternoon! The house was easy to find and we quickly came to realise the value of having our own parking space. The location was excellent - just a few minutes walk from the village centre and only two minutes walk from a small Co-op supermarket. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return. (Top tips - take a couple of extra loo-rolls with you, and a couple of extra dishwasher tablets).

“Location and views fantastic.”

Having the woodburner whilst outside it was gale force winds and heavy rain felt cosy. My only gripe personally was the bed, mattress was soft and uncomfortable and unfortunately for me struggled to sleep for the week. A modern divan bed instead of a wooden base would help.

“Overall the cottage was very comfortable and very well equipped, particularly the kitchen.”

The underfloor heating in the conservatory was very welcome too. Overall the downstairs area is comfortable and spacious The only down side (which didn’t affect us as there were just two of us) is that the one small bathroom would be difficult if 5 people stayed. Might be worth considering one big shower rather than having the small bath. We would definitely come back here again

“The house was perfect, loved the views, and a big thumbs up for the fantastic kitchen, which we made full use of, as eating out in Port Isaac was very restricted.”

Book in advance.

“A phone call would be better to discuss.”

Your service was good but the cottage disappointed us in desperate need of general maintenance and a few pound spent on it

“Another lovely stay at Merlin’s View.”

We come back every year to the same house and have always found it clean, inviting with great views and parking for our van. Many thanks!

“We had a fabulous holiday and the cottage was beautiful.”

Really well decorated, with lovely accessories, and extremely clean. Very comfortable beds and a good shower. And really soft good quality towels which was great! The kitchen was really well equipped too. The view from the terrace was amazing and we loved sitting out there just gazing at the sea. Port Isaac and surrounding areas were stunning. It did help that we probably had the best week of the year weather wise also!

The property

Merlin's View is a beautifully presented and stylishly furnished house, situated in a quiet residential location at the top of Port Isaac village. The historic harbour with its pub, cafes, restaurants and interesting shops is a short walk downhill. Enjoy magnificent views out to sea and along the coast towards Tintagel Head from the luxurious rooms on the garden side of the house and particularly from the elevated, furnished sun terrace and glass conservatory. Sleeping 5 people in 3 gorgeous bedrooms, this is a deservedly popular seaside retreat for family and friends. The property has the added bonus of private parking. Enjoy cooking up a feast in the immaculate kitchen with its matching cupboards and glossy surfaces; a modern butchers block is a useful additional worktop. Open-plan with the dining area, the decorative theme continues with a squashy sofa providing the ideal spot to relax. The sitting room benefits from a large, wide bay window looking onto the conservatory and views beyond; a contemporary wood burner and large TV give comfort on a stormy night. On the first floor the bedrooms share an attractive grey/blue and white bathroom. Perfectly positioned to make the most of North Cornwall, a holiday in Port Isaac leaves you spoilt for choice. Enjoy a relaxed wander around the narrow winding lanes of the lower village, flanked with historic whitewashed or stone faced fishermen's cottages, then refresh with a pint on the balcony of the characterful Golden Lion pub or a crab sandwich from one of the cafes. Quirky gift shops and art galleries are a good opportunity for stocking up on gifts and souvenirs. Join the coastal path for an invigorating hike with magnificent coastal views to Port Quin, a serene cove popular with swimmers and kayakers. The nearby Polzeath beach and Trebarwith Strand are excellent for surfing or boogie-boarding, good for all abilities and with lessons and kit available to rent.Accommodation: Ground Floor Covered Porch Open plan Kitchen/Dining/Family room Sitting Room with sea and coastal views Conservatory with sea and coastal views Separate WC/Utility room First Floor Bed 1: Double bed with sea and coastal views Bed 2: Double bed Bed 3: Single bed with sea and coastal views Bath/Shower/WC Sorry No Pets.

About the location

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.
