PORTCOR - GULLROCK - PORT GAVERNE - PORT ISAAC - NORTH CORNWALL - PL29 3SQ


Discover Portcor, a beautiful holiday coastal cottage sleeps 4 adults or 2 adults and 3 children. Portcor Cottage is located in Port Gaverne, which is a tiny harbour within the cliffs of the North Cornish coast, east of Rock and Polzeath.

The hamlet of Port Gaverne is close to the quaintly pretty Port Isaac, is on the north coast cliff path, and is surrounded by National Trust land. Sheltered in the valley are a small hotel/pub, which offers excellent beer, bar snacks and meals, a few houses, and several former fish cellars. These cellars were U-shaped quadrangles built of stone and were used for storing, smoking and handling fish and had some accommodation for the local fishermen and their families. Portcor is part of the former Liberty Fish Cellars, which is about 200 years old and now known as Gullrock.

Portcor Cottage is professionally maintained, and available to non-smokers throughout the year.

The front door leads off the short lane from the pub and the sea (approx. 200 yds) and the kitchen and main bedroom overlook the attractive courtyard. The cottage, which is all on one level, has a light, spacious kitchen/living room, two double bedrooms (one with en-suite shower room and loo), a twin-bedded room, a family bath-room and an airing cupboard. There is the use of a washing machine and tumble dryer in an adjacent building. The whole cottage has recently been redecorated and refurbished, with a newly-fitted and fully- equipped kitchen, new beds and new carpet. There is a microwave, an oven with hob, a dishwasher, a TV and video. Linen is no longer provided, but we can arrange for it to be hired locally.
