“Very good location.”

Cottage very quirky and a lot of stairs.

Cottage very quirky and a lot of stairs.

- Mrs Sims, August 2021

“I think the location is fantastic, and was well described (with the honest walk to the parking etc which we were fine with) but it is a very noisy location and the overall cottage and facilites are very tired and in places pretty grotty.”

I realise the price probably matches that standard but it's pretty tatty. The main bedroom at the top is the best room, but does also have a window with no curtain or blind at all. I also don't think we reaslied we'd have to go outside to get a shower! The bath wasn't great. The kitchen is quite well stocked for dining things, but it was a shame to not have any cleaning products at all considering covid! Although it was clean, I don't always pack my anti bac spray. We'd use the company again but definitely not the cottage.

“Great house in a great location, just blinds to shut out pub light would make it perfect.”

The property

Quay Cottage, as its name suggests is right in the heart of Port Isaac, a stones throw from the slipway down to the harbour and sea, village and harbour views can be enjoyed from all three floors. The cottage will sleep 5 guests in 3 bedrooms with 1 bathroom, and an outhouse with small shower room/WC with the benefit of parking for one vehicle in private garage located at the top of the village. A sunny, walled courtyard garden is a tranquil spot to while away the hours with the morning papers or a good book, while the hustle and bustle of village life continues close by. Listen out on a Friday night for the sound of the Fisherman's Friends singing their atmospheric sea shanties from the Platt right outside Quay cottage and join the throng who gather to listen in the summer months. The self-catering accommodation comprises of a spacious twin bedroom offering fabulous views across the harbour and lobber point, a single bedroom and on the second floor a lovely large and light double bedroom again with harbour and sea views. The slate slabbed sitting room and exposed beams are sympathetic to the heritage and history of this traditional fisherman's cottage. A very teenager friendly annex and a small shower room/WC in the outhouse are accessed from the courtyard. After a busy day in the village or on the beach, create even more atmosphere in the comfortable sitting room by stoking up the wood burner and relaxing on one of the comfortable sofas. All manner of good food can be found a short stroll away; from fish and chips eaten on the slipway to fine dining in Nathan Outlaw's restaurant or sociable fish creations at his cosy Fish Kitchen. Art galleries and gift shops are lovely to browse around while the children enjoy ice creams or Cornish fudge before heading out to the rock pools in the harbour. A short drive away is the beautiful Camel Estuary at Rock where the sand dunes are a designated site of special interest due to the geology and flora and the calm estuary waters provide a haven for boating enthusiasts. Polzeath beach offers keen surfers an exhilarating ride, while Daymer Bay's calm bathing waters and stream offer traditional bucket and spade holidays.Ground Floor: Sitting Room, Kitchen, Dining Room, Utility Area (door to courtyard), First Floor: Bedroom 2: Twin beds, Bedroom 3: Single bed, Bath/W.C., Second Floor: Bedroom 1: Double bed, External rooms in courtyard: Outhouse with small Shower room and WC Teenager friendly annexe Please note: - Care should be taken on the stairs with children and the elderly. - Parking is in a private garage at the top of the village.

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 stairs to the first and second floors are steep so care should be taken with children and the elderly and may not be suitable for people with mobility problems.
