The White Cottage

Port Isaac, Cornwall

Port Isaac, located in the South West of England, offers a charismatic beach retreat just meters from the sandy shores of Port Gaverne. This former fish cellar has been transformed into a traditional three-bedroom cottage that accommodates up to six guests. The property retains its historic character with original slate floors, a stone-walled fireplace, and low doorways, providing a unique and cozy atmosphere. The outdoor spaces, including a courtyard and a walled garden, are perfect for relaxation and enjoying the coastal environment.

The cottage is situated in a picturesque Cornish hamlet characterized by its small fishing boats lining the beach and its quaint white-washed, slate-roofed cottages along winding streets. Visitors can explore the area’s natural beauty, with rock pools and hidden caves becoming visible at low tide, while high tide offers opportunities for diving adventures in deeper waters. The surrounding landscape is rich with coastal charm and history, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a tranquil getaway.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the South West Coast Path runs directly past the cottage, providing easy access to scenic walking routes that showcase Cornwall's stunning coastline.
