3 Overcliff

3 Overcliff is a 3-bedroom cottage in Port Isaac with floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic sea views from the sitting room, which has an open fire. Three bedrooms sleep 6 - a king-size, a flexible twin-or-super-king, and a twin - across 2 bathrooms. The decked garden has a BBQ. A dishwasher and off-road parking are included. The property is listed from £853 per week and is dog-friendly.

Port Gaverne Beach is 600m - a sheltered cove at the base of the cliffs, used for sea kayaking and swimming. Port Isaac harbour, where the exterior scenes for TV series Doc Martin were filmed, is a 10-minute walk down through the narrow lanes. Tregardock Beach, accessible only at low tide via a coastal path, is 5.4km north. Polzeath, a broader surfing beach with a regular lifeguard presence, is 6.5km south via the B3314.

This cottage suits families or a group of 6 who want sea views and direct coastal access in a well-known north Cornwall fishing village. It works for dog owners and those wanting a week-long stay with the open fire as a draw through spring and autumn. Port Isaac's narrow lanes are unsuitable for large vehicles - the village has a public car park a short walk from the property. Rock and Padstow, linked by a short passenger ferry, are roughly 10km south across the Camel estuary and accessible for a day trip. The property lists with two providers, Cornwall Hideaways and Rural Retreats.
