A wonderful time in Port Isaac

We had a wonderful time in this lovely cottage, only few minutes to the port and the coast path. It had everything we needed and everything was clean. We felt very at home here.

Comfortable Cottage

We enjoyed our stay at this clean, comfortable and well-appointed cottage with a view of Doc Martin's surgery. The location was excellent, being above the old town and across from the coop. Communication with the owner was excellent. We would definitely recommend staying at Kylden, especially for a couple and/or a family of 4.

Everything was fantastic at Kylden and Caroline communicated with us very nicely. We loved that we could meet her family through a photograph and everything they shared in advance was exactly what we discovered when we arrived. Port Isaac was our main objective when visiting England because of Doc Martin and the Fishermen's Friends, and Kylden was a great addition for us. Thank you, Caroline.

Excellent base for a exploring Port Isaac and beyond!

We had a very comfortable stay at this property. Everything we needed, well equipped kitchen and very handy having the co-op opposite. We made the most of the restaurants and cafes in Port Isaac. Meals at the Slipway, The Old School House and The Moat were fantastic and Noah’s cafe is great for a light bite. We also took a walk to Port Gaverne and had a drink in The Pilchard which was great. Sadly the weather was not on our side but we managed to still visit Polzeath beach twice and Newquay (45 mins drive). On day two we had no hot water. However the owners were extremely responsive and helpful and the issue was fixed quickly. The only thing we feel could be improved in the property is a landline phone for guests to use to book restaurants, golf courses, activities etc and for peace of mind should you need to call 999. Overall very good accommodation, we would definitely return.

Great location for a restful holiday

The house was super well equipped and clean. The location was excellent, near to the port but not on top of the hustle and bustle of the tourist. The supermarket was opposite to the house, which is super convenient. The garden had all what we needed a table and chairs to relax in the sun with a good book. We could not ask for anything more! Even the weather was superb!

Highly recommend a stay at Kylden. Perfect in every way. If only I could bring home the view from the garden - could have sat there all week quite happily. Owner a breeze to deal with, everything you need at the property and perfectly situated for visiting Cornwall. We will be back.

A Perfect Location. A Perfect Property!

This property is exceptional. The property itself is extremely well placed, right opposite the local Co-Op shop and very near the heart of Port Isaac. Being placed on New Road the drive to the property is so easy, no having to manoeuvre through the very narrow streets avoiding the pedestrians, and very easy when leaving Port Isaac for your various trips out. The property is extremely well kitted out will any appliances that may be needed for your stay, It it spacious and very comfortable. The contact from the owners is extremely good. I would definitely recommend thes property to anybody looking for a stay in Port Isaac.

Little Gem!

We made a last minute decision to spend a week in Cornwall with our 16 month old son. At the time of booking, our accommodation options were limited but honestly, this property is a little gem and we would not hesitate to stay here again. Yes it is a little tired around the edges but it was very clean and we felt comfortable straight away. A real home from home. The owners were extremely responsive and provided a high chair and travel cot. Port Isaac is a pretty little village and this property is well positioned at the top of the hill with fabulous views.

About the host

Host profile image
We bought Kylden when our kids were small. We wanted outdoor space big enough for them to run around and easy parking when we had a car full of stuff to take to the beach. We also wanted to be walkable to pubs, restaurants and shops to make our time in Cornwall as relaxing as possible.
We holiday here ourselves several times each year and have continued to improve the property and features as we have all got older! We hope you enjoy our home from home.

Why they chose this property

Why our cottage? Because it is well maintained and we continue to invest in it. Parking for 2 cars. Beautiful back garden and terrace with views to the hills across the village. Home of Doc Martin and Fishermen's Friends. Home comforts including dishwasher and washer dryer, Nespresso coffee, TV/Xbox 360 with games and DVD's. Any questions not answered on the site just ask!

What makes this property unique

Beautiful views across Port Isaac from the back garden. Space to park up to 2 cars (a rare treat in the village). And of course the home of Doc Martin and the Fishermens Friends.
