About this property

Perched in the centre of the historic fishing village of Port Isaac, is this fabulous, four-bedroom cottage, The Mizzen. Enjoying a superb location with easy access to some of the most beautiful beaches in Cornwall, as well as a stylish open-plan layout with contemporary furnishings, The Owner has recently made some beautiful sympathetic upgrades to the property in 2023, including new furniture, decorated throughout and renovations to the courtyards. The Mizzen makes for a wonderful dwelling for a group or family of six looking for a coastal escape to Cornwall. Be welcomed into the generous open-plan living space, where you can look forward to rustling up tasty home-cooked meals in the well-equipped kitchen, with the help of the electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and a handy dishwasher, so time won’t be wasted doing chores! Gather around the dining table for six as you tuck-into a delicious meal and make plans for the days ahead. Take advantage of the warmer weather and make dinner an alfresco affair out on the private patio as you savour the last of the day’s sunshine. As the evening begins to cool, retreat to the sofa where you can relax with a glass of wine in front of your favourite show on the TV, as the alluring multi-fuel stoves crackles nearby. Completing the ground floor is a well-appointed bathroom, where you can soothe tired feet with an indulgent soak in the bath. Climb the stairs to the first floor, where you will find two beautifully-decorated rooms, a double and a single, both served by a shower room, along with two additional bedrooms, a double and a single which can be found on the second floor, providing ample sleeping arrangements for all parties. Explore the local village where you will find a plethora of welcoming pubs and restaurants right on your doorstep, perfect for those evenings where you don’t feel like cooking! Wander through the 18-inch wide, charmingly named Squeezy Belly Alley, where just over the hill, Doc Martin fans will be able see the home of the character Aunt Ruth, or enjoy a leisurely stroll to Portwenn View, which rests on the scenic South West Coastal Path and where you can soak up some of the best views in the area. Take the short drive over to Polzeath, well-known for its family-friendly beach with glorious golden sands stretching for miles, here you can sunbathe with your favourite book, paddle the shores or take to the waters and try your hand at the local favourite watersport, surfing. Just off the beach is the popular Oystercatcher pub, where you can treat your loved ones to a flavourful meal on the picturesque beach-view terrace. Just a little further is Rock, where you can explore the waters of the River Camel via water skiing, test out your clubs at the historic St Enodoc Golf Club or catch a ferry over to Padstow, where you will find the National Lobster Hatchery, the Camel cycling Trail and the lavish 16th-century Prideaux Place. For a memorable getaway to Cornwall, look no further than The Mizzen.

A real Cornish treasure, Port Isaac. Fishing villages nestled in steep valleys, the old hamlet remains untouched from its days of fishing, exporting slate, and trafficking in smuggled goods in the last century. Near the village's numerous eateries and shops, you'll find a wide variety of charming little homes and larger cliff-top retreats. There are several rock pools to explore in the sandy harbour as the tide goes out. In the heart of Cornwall, it's an ideal location for both romantic getaways and family vacations. Ample parking is available at the village's apex.

    Well decorated and furnished though master bed bit firm for us. We did have a lot of rain on day one and it flooded the front yard of the cottage, due to blocked drain and water also came into the cottage. Frustrating and smelly, maintenance needed on guttering. We called and John Bray representative got back to me quickly and plumber came out cleared drain within 24hrs. Thank you. They also got the over grown back garden sorted.

    A larger fridge/freezer Better blinds in the bedrooms. If it’s possible these actually make the rooms brighter! The description of the property should include the parking (or lack of) situation. There is no parking near the property. You need to use the pay and display at the top of the hill (£5/day). The stairs to the top floor of the cottage are very steep so not ideal for very small children. The cottage is in an amazing location and it is great to be in the middle of Port Issac which has a lovely feel and everyone is very friendly. The house was clean and tidy and well appointed. We would definitely stay there again.

    The dishwasher didn’t work and despite reaching out to Sykes Cottages via email several times no one ever got back to me. The upstairs shower could really use either a good scrub or new grout. The location was great, right in the center of town which was very convenient.
