    “The windows and front door were absolutely filthy, very disappointing first impression, smelt stale when walked in as if it hadn’t been used in months, no logs for fire, first night very cold, night storage heaters very dated, mystery liquid running down wall onto kitchen floor.”

    One of the lights not working in kitchen, tried to change bulb but still didn’t work. No basic provisions as in tea/coffee/sugar, freezer was iced up, chipped bread bin, the cupboard with the saucepans in was a disgrace, just chucked in, a real mismatch. The base of the shower was flexing up and down when you stood in it, felt like you were going to fall through. Not enough toilet rolls. Needs updating to bring it upto acceptable standards for the money we were charged.

The property

Oozing charm and character, Cloam Cottage is a traditional Cornish fisherman's cottage nestled right in the heart of Port Isaac on the North Cornwall coast.

As its name suggests, this self catering cottage features an historic decorative cloam oven in the sitting room.

Only seconds from the harbour, the cottage is surrounded with delightful restaurants, cafes, a pub and lovely shops.

The property has the bonus of a private parking space a mere two minutes walk away.

Sleeping 4 people in 2 cosy bedrooms, this is an idyllic place to stay and relax.Exposed ceiling beams throughout add to the historic feel, whilst the seaside decor brings a stylish modern touch.

The smart slate-floored kitchen has everything you need to whip up a spread; then chill out on the comfy sofas in front of a roaring wood burner on cooler nights.

Amble around the corner to the slipway with your cup of coffee or your glass of wine, or perch on the beach to contemplate the tide and the busy goings-on of the fishermen.

Distinctive and unusual, Port Isaac is located at the foot of a steep-sided valley and is flanked by dramatic, breathtakingly beautiful cliffs and coves.

This, together with the picturesque architecture and history of the village, makes holidaying here a fascinating and refreshing experience.

From hiking the coast paths, or pottering about on the beach, to kayaking at Port Quin or surfing at Polzeath these are just some of the activities to keep everyone happy on holiday.Ground Floor: Sitting Room Kitchen/Dining Room Shower Room/WC Utility Room First Floor: Bedroom 1: Double Bed Bedroom 2: Twin Beds Separate WC Sorry No Pets.

About the location

PORT ISAAC

Polzeath 6.5 miles; Padstow 16 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. There is ample parking at the top of the village and the village is a popular tourist destination with plenty of attractions including the dramatic Doyden Castle, the beautiful Lundy Bay and the famous Doc Martin's clinic. There are also plenty of pubs, restaurants, and shops in the village. Just a short drive from the beaches of Polzeath, Daymer and Rock, it is perfect for romantic and family holidays alike.

Please note: The front door opens onto Fore Street which is the main street into the harbour. The property is opposite a pub which has a fan so could be noisy. There is also steep stairs leading to bedrooms upstairs.
