“Wonderful place.”

The location was absolutely perfect, just where I wanted to be about 60 feet from Mrs. Tischels Chemist. Short walking distance to the Golden Lion. It is a lot of stairs but I knew that going in and definitely worth it for the view from the deck. I have been to Port Isaac before and decided to rent a cottage this time to have my own fridge.

Hi Doug, Pleased that you enjoyed your stay and thanks for the excellent feedback. The cottage is indeed very near to the harbour, the Golden Lion and a number of other Doc Martin attractions. We have even chatted to Mrs Tishell on her way past the house during filming. You do need to tread carefully on the steps, but the view is worth it and it’s our favourite part of the cottage. Hope to welcome you again in the future. Regards, Alison and Trevor Property Owner

“We really enjoyed our stay.”

Location is fantastic and house was immaculate, the beds comfy and the bedding spotless. John Bray office responded immediately when the sash window got stuck- they came to the house on Sunday, brought a hook and fixed it right away. Obviously the steps could present a problem to some people as will access to the carpark and the size of the car space, this is the only downside but has to be accepted with the fantastic location. Overall, I would recommend and would return but with a smaller car.

Dear Cindy, We were delighted to receive such positive feedback and glad that you enjoyed your stay. We are fortunate to have a parking space nearby, which fits a standard sized family saloon or similar. Indeed, the steps are steep! Thanks for sharing and prompting us to add additional information for guests. Hope to see you again. Kind Regards, Alison and Trevor Property Owner

The property

Featured in The Daily Mail and The Sunday Times. Grey Roofs is a picture perfect coastal retreat.Situated close to the picturesque harbour of Port Isaac with direct views of the harbour and sea from the deck. A traditional fisherman’s cottage, Grey Roofs has been lovingly refurbished throughout to create a stylish holiday home that still retains the character and charm of the original building. The property has a playful nautical theme running through the house such as colorful fish wallpaper, a white and blue tiled bathroom, and bedrooms with paddles and lifebuoys lining the walls. The large kitchen/diner is equipped with all mod-cons and has a chunky farmhouse dining table that will comfortably seat five guests. The long sitting room is partially divided in two by the stairs and a reception/study area with armchairs and desk that leads into a sitting area with sofas set in front of a wood burning stove - the perfect pace to warm up on chilly evenings. Upstairs you will find three bedrooms: a double room, single room, and twin bedroom; as well as a beautifully decorated family bathroom with bath and overhead shower. On sunny afternoons or calm evenings why not head outside and climb the steps to the decking area to enjoy a light snack or refreshing glass of wine. From your doorstep, take a stroll around the old village wondering through the narrow streets where you will find a host of white-washed fisherman's cottages, an array of local shops, cafes, and restaurants all within easy walking distance. If you're feeling energetic you can tackle a coastal walk to Port Quin by heading over Lobber Point, past the rocky cove of Pine Haven, before dropping down to this pretty National Trust owned cove – a lovely spot for swimming, kayaking, rock pooling or fishing. Enjoy a wonderful break with your loved ones at Grey Roofs

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.

Please note: The front door is accessed via a narrow walkway and steps. The garden is accessed via very steps so care should be taken and may not be suitable for young children, the elderly or people with restricted mobility.
