The West Country / Cornwall region
Cornwall is famous for its spectacular coastline and quaint fishing villages.
Somewhere hidden in North Cornwall's stunning landscape is the perfect place for an unforgettable Cornish holiday. Will it be in spring, when the coastpath is lined with sea thrift? Or autumn, with the wooded river valleys cloaked in crimson and gold?
Port Isaac area
The Counting House Cottage sits in a Conservation Area and is, by car, within 10 minutes of the Atlantic Coast and 15 minutes from both Bodmin Moor and the Camel Estuary; all three areas are designated as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Port Isaac (3.5 miles) is a quintessential Cornish fishing village, probably better known for its use in film & TV (in particular Doc Martin).
Nearby you have the exciting beach of Polzeath, with great surf and excellent surf schools. Day sea fishing can be found from Padstow and fly fishing on the camel river or on the Tamar River at Lifton (1 hr drive). There are several good golf courses in the area with the renowned links course at St. Enodoc. Riding can be found up on the moor and a great day out for the family is hiring bikes for a cycle along the Camel Trail. For further suggestions please look at the holiday information section of our website.
How to get there
Heading West from Camelford on the A39, after 3 miles at Knightsmill turn right to “St. Teath” on B3267, in village square turn left, signposted to “Pendoggett”, and the property can be found a couple of miles further on.
Heading East from Wadebridge on the A39, after 2.6 miles turn left into “St. Kew Highway” continue for a further 2.6 miles (driving straight through the village of “Trelill”), at crossroads turn left to “Pendoggett” and the house will be found just a short distance away.
