Grey Roofs
Description
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

What guests are saying
Myself and my two children enjoyed our stay at Grey Roofs and it has a lot of great qualities.
The listing was very accurate. The parking is up a steep hill from the property, my advice would be to approach the property down Church Hill rather than approaching through Port Isaac itself as the streets are really narrow. The accommodation was comfortable and quaint. Minor criticism would be that the property could have been cleaner in parts and the bath panel was a little loose. There is a mousetrap under the sink, which is understandable in a property close to the harbour but I probably wouldn’t continue to store kitchen supplies, such as scourers under there. We also had visits from a plumber and a handyman. Not an issue as things need fixing, but could have done with some notice from Sykes. Overall we really enjoyed it, with those minor criticisms listed above.
Grey Roofs met and exceeded my expectations.
The communication regarding check in and out, parking and regarding the property were excellent. The property itself was quaint and traditional and perfect for a visit to Port Isaac and the broader area. It was very well equipped with everything we needed.
Lovely cottage as described.
My wife, twin boys and our dog stayed here for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. Fantastic location and parking was available 100 yards up a steep hill which was great. Reading other reviews, I was worried about the steps to the roof terrace but they were perfect with a hand rail to guide you up and down to a fabulous setting. Location is ideal with everything within walking distance and beautiful walks along the coastline at your doorstep. A lovely welcome pack awaited (could have done with some tea towels and only one roll of toilet paper provided!), and despite being peak season on a bank holiday weekend, the foot traffic outside of the property was much less than I expected. If you dont like steps and steep hills then this property is not for you but this is clear in the description and overall, it exceeded our expectations! :) A beautiful cottage and we would recommend it to any family, and we will certainly stay here again in the future.
