This impressive dog-friendly property offers stunning sea views and stylish coastal interiors that replicate its breath-taking surroundings, the perfect abode for small family holidays or group getaways.

On the ground floor, a very well-equipped open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room leads out to a sea facing sunroom, located at the front of the property, providing ultimate relaxation – the sea views from these rooms are awe-inspiring and will leave you feeling instantly calm. Also on this floor, towards the back of the property, there’s a cloakroom and a utility room.

The first floor presents two large bedrooms and a shared family bathroom; the master bedroom boasts a king-size bed, en-suite shower room and balcony with exquisite coastal views – the perfect spot for your morning coffee – whilst adjacent to the master bedroom is a light and bright second room, with two single zip and link beds which can be made into one king-size bed on request, plus a single futon.

Outside, a paved seating area is the perfect space to dine alfresco – enjoy delicious lunches in this special sun trap with unsurpassed sea views. There is also parking for two cars, plus additional parking on a first come first served basis, as well as gated storage for bikes and surfboards for your ease and convenience.

Port Gaverne’s idyllic cove is just a five-minute downhill walk away and Port Isaac’s fishing harbour is just a 10-minute walk in the opposite direction. Dotted along the town’s charming high street, you’ll find independent shops and eateries. For a day out exploring, drive to famous Tintagel located 8.5 miles away, and whilst you’re there, visit Tintagel Castle to learn about the local history – the views are magnificent too.

Cockle Shell is a fantastic holiday home for a family getaway, that’s enviably located in beautiful Port Isaac, Cornwall, perfect for those in search of a coastal cottage that accepts one pet and boasts breath-taking views.

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. Only ten minutes drive from the beaches of Polzeath, Daymer and Rock, it is perfect for romantic and family holidays alike. There is ample parking at the top of the village.
