Logs for wood burner available locally. Travel cot and highchair available on request. Welcome pack. Small courtyard with sitting-out area and garden furniture. 2 small dogs welcome. Private parking by arrangement, 400 yards away; additional public car park, unloading at the door. No smoking. Please note: Couples and family bookings only. There are 5 steps in the courtyard.. 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.

Winter visit, comfortable accommodation with parking available a short distance away.
Winter visit, comfortable accommodation with parking available a short distance away. Dog friendly beaches 10 minute drive Newquay 40 minutes and Lands End 1hr 45m. Co-op at top and pub at bottom. Can't fault it. ðŸ‘
great position for access to Port Isaac and walking locally and good drop off and parking. Owners came to check we were OK which was kind. well appointed and we were very comfortable.
We had a lovely stay at this property. Its ideally located 5 min away (walking) from the beach, 5 min from the quirky Sunday market at the entrance to the village and 1 min from the supermarket, on a quiet road. From the living room, the view over the hills is fantastic and provided a great setting while enjoying breakfast. The property is comfortable, very clean and is in excellent condition, giving us all the feel of a home away from home. And for those evenings when we wanted to dine in, the kitchen had everything we could want to prepare a lovely meal. Can't be faulted and would happily return.

You have to step out of the door to see the sea but you can hear it from the house.
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.

Wonderful holiday cottage in Port Isaac
My wife, daughter and I enjoyed our stay in Port Isaac very much. Knight's Den is a very comfortable and well-equipped holiday cottage in a quiet location just 2 or 3 minutes walk from the centre of the village. The owner was very helpful and responsive - thank you!
