The Mizzen

About this property

The Mizzen is a delightful mid-terrace holiday home nestled in the peaceful village of Trelights, just a short drive from the picturesque fishing village of Port Isaac in Cornwall. Perfect for families or friends looking to experience the Cornish coast, this three-bedroom retreat offers a welcoming blend of comfort, practicality, and seaside charm. Admire the picturesque stone exterior as you arrive, setting the tone for a truly Cornish escape. Inside, the ground floor is designed for easy, sociable living. The spacious sitting room features two inviting sofas, a Smart TV, and a selection of books for quiet evenings in. Sink into the sofas and browse the books on the shelf, or let the woodburning stove glow warmly as you relax after a day exploring the coast.

The adjoining dining area provides seating for six, ideal for shared meals or planning the next day’s adventures. Patio doors open directly onto the garden, perfect for letting in fresh sea air while you dine. The well-equipped kitchen includes everything needed for a self-catered stay, including an electric range cooker, coffee maker, kettle, and toaster, while a separate utility room with a dishwasher, fridge, washing machine, and additional storage makes longer stays effortless. A handy nook under the stairs offers a cushy spot for your dogs to curl up after a day of adventures. A convenient cloakroom with a basin and WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, The Mizzen offers three well-presented bedrooms when it is time to get some rest. One king and two doubles, each furnished with soft linens. The master bedroom features an en-suite shower room with a walk-in shower, basin, heated towel rail, and WC. A stylish family bathroom with a bath, shower over, heated towel rail, basin, and WC provides flexibility for those busy mornings getting ready. Step outside to the private patio garden with a neatly kept lawn, gravel paths, and outdoor furniture inviting you to savour morning coffee, read in the sunshine, or dine alfresco on warm evenings. Explore the nearby harbour village of Port Isaac, or venture to Polzeath, where you can surf the waves at one of Cornwall’s most popular beaches, walk the dramatic South West Coast Path to Pentire Point, or enjoy beachside dining overlooking the bay.

Discover Tintagel, home to the legendary Tintagel Castle, the clifftop St Materiana’s Church, and the mystical Merlin’s Cave below. In Bodmin, visit the fascinating Bodmin Jail, step aboard the Bodmin & Wenford Railway, or explore the wild beauty of Bodmin Moor, with its ancient stone circles and sweeping views. With its characterful stone exterior, homely interiors, peaceful setting, and easy access to the Cornish coast, The Mizzen is the ideal base for a memorable seaside escape.

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 beautiful Lundy Bay, known for being the filming location of the hugely popular Doc Martin series. You may be lucky enough to see the infamous Fisherman's Friends performing on the Platt during the summer months singing traditional shanties. 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.
