Arvor Kilden

Arvor Kilden is a single-storey detached cottage set within a small group of five stone properties on a rural farm near Port Isaac. The two-bedroom layout sleeps 2 and suits couples wanting quiet surroundings with the coast path accessible directly from the farm. Prices start from £528 per week, with Saturday changeovers.

Inside, the cottage has two shower rooms and an open-plan dining and living area with a fully equipped kitchen including dishwasher and washing machine - practical for week-long stays. Wifi covers the whole property. Dogs are welcome in the enclosed garden, though the cottage is not suitable for infants.

The enclosed lawned garden has a patio with seating and private parking alongside. Port Gaverne Beach - a sheltered dog-friendly cove with calm water for swimming and kayaking - is about 2 miles away. Tregardock Beach, a wilder shingle-and-sand cove, is a similar distance. Port Isaac village is 2.5 miles from the farm, where Nathan Outlaw's Michelin-starred restaurant, fresh seafood from the harbour, and the Fisherman's Friends shanty group put it on the map well beyond Doc Martin.

**Best for:** Couples with dogs wanting a quiet farm cottage with coast path access and easy reach of the best north Cornwall fishing villages. **Less good for:** Families with infants - the cottage is not suited to very young children; those wanting to walk to the beach rather than drive.
