This detached fisherman’s loft, set on a quiet street in Port Isaac, will not fail to impress. Knights Den, with its raised secluded courtyard which is perfect for al fresco meals, is a short stroll from the stunning picturesque coastline, village and harbour of this famous fishing village. Most commonly known as Port Wenn from TV’s Doc Martin series, and home to the Fishermen’s Friends, a sea shanty folk group, the village retains its local charm and feel due to its strong community. The coastline is typically Cornish, with soaring cliffs, remote coves, hidden bays and golden crescents of sand.
The coastal path can be easily reached from Knights Den and will lead you to Polzeath, a surfing mecca and pretty little town, and eventually towards Rock and Padstow. Tintagel, the mystical seat of King Arthur, is a short drive along the coast and the castle is a must for all. Golf courses galore can be found close by, from the Point at Polzeath to St Enodoc, which are great links courses and only minutes away. The inland town of Wadebridge, which sits on the River Camel, is a quaint, local market town with great local pubs and restaurants. The town has many bike hire centres as it sits on the Camel Trail, with Bodmin in one direction and Padstow in the other. A favourite ride is onto Padstow along the multi-use trail following the estuary, grabbing fish and chips on the quayside and a pint in a local pub, fortifying yourself for the ride back along the trail.
Port Isaac, although sitting on the north coast of Cornwall, is easily reached and a good base for exploring the county. Newquay, Truro, Bodmin and the south Cornwall coast are all easily reached, but if you wish to do nothing and enjoy the beach, the harbour and the Michelin starred restaurants, then Knights Den is a great place to spend the week. Sailing, surfing, kayaking, sea fishing, golf and horse riding are all available locally. Beach 650 yards. Shop and restaurant 500 yards, pub 600 yards.
Cosy, clean and perfectly located. Ideal for a family of three. I wouldn’t definitely return in the future.
You have to step out of the door to see the sea but you can hear it from the house. There’s a view over the valley and the village pub door is opposite the alley to the house, however the house is so comfy I’ve never stayed on so much! Outdoor seating was used even in October, the seating area is tiny but sunny and sheltered and the parking just up the hill was a huge benefit.
Fantastic accommodation with all kitchen equipment and iron and board, hairdryer & clothes drier.
A very well thought out and beautifully presented cottage which is as equipped as your family home. Port Issac is a fantastic location for peace and tranquility with friendly residents and topped off by the Fisherman Friends.
Great stay wish there had been a small garden but spotlessly clean and well equipped
A lovely holiday home, like staying in a show house. Everything perfect in the house. Good location ,quiet, car parking just 200 yards away. Good view overr to the hill.
Loved it; wish we could have stayed longer.
we will be back, loved it..
Absolutely delightful! Would definitely like to go again. Everything about this cottage is first rate.
Absolutely loved it here Very clean and comfortable everything was perfect at a push if I had to find something to complain about we would of have liked larger bath towels as although they were lovely soft and fluffy they were a bit on the small side but as we was only there for three days we coped , we will definitely be booking again in the future .
Our stay December, 2019
