Harbour Loft

Harbour Loft is a 2-bedroom cottage in a 15th-century building at the heart of Port Isaac harbour. It sleeps 4 in a king-size room and a second bedroom with two single beds, with a harbourside position and sea views over the working port. The property holds a 9.3/10 rating from 20 guest reviews.

Inside, the accommodation sits above one of the village's seafood restaurants. The layout covers a living area, kitchen and bathroom, with a washing machine included. The building's age shapes the layout, with traditional proportions preserved through the renovation. Wifi is not provided on site - worth confirming before booking.

Outside the door, the harbour itself functions day to day with small fishing boats still landing their catch. Port Isaac's pubs, cafes and restaurants all sit within a few minutes on foot, with the Fisherman's Friends shanty singers often performing on the Platt by the harbour in summer. Dogs are welcome.

Beyond the village, the coast path climbs out of Port Isaac in both directions towards Port Quin to the west and Port Gaverne to the east. Polzeath's broad beach sits about 6 miles south, with Tintagel and Boscastle reachable north along the coast road. Parking in the village is limited, with the main car park at the top of the hill a steep walk down.

Best for couples or friends wanting an atmospheric harbour address - the character of the building and the working harbour below make this one of the more distinctive village positions on the north Cornwall coast. Less good for guests who rely on wifi or those with limited mobility; the 15th-century layout and steep village streets are not easy terrain.
