Cider Barn is a little bit of holiday lusciousness, nestled close to the charming villages of Chapel Amble and St Kew, only 5 miles from the picturesque fishing village of Port Isaac, and under 15 minutes from the world-famous bathing and surfing beaches of Rock and Polzeath. This sumptuous, interior-design led renovation is a unique luxury haven for two taking inspiration from the colours on the North Cornish coast path and countryside. The stunning bespoke kitchen is fabulously well equipped with all the latest appliances for rustling up magnificent gourmet suppers, and in warmer months throw open the French doors to dine al-fresco in the cute cottage garden. On cooler evenings fire up the toasty warm wood burner, break out the popcorn and cosy-up on the super large sofa, streaming your favourite box set to the 4k TV with Sonos sound system for that cinematic experience. When a blissful night's sleep calls, the 'Jack and Jill' ladder leads up to the utterly romantic, deluxe bespoke king size bed with views over the mezzanine of your spacious open plan living area. An uber-chic bathroom in peacock blue boasts a copper double ended freestanding bath for two, perfect for luxurious soaks, and roomy rainfall shower for a morning wake-up. The south-facing garden is wonderful for lazy days spent soaking up the Cornish sunshine or a relaxing retreat with a leisurely glass of bubbly after a busy day exploring.
This area of North Cornwall truly is the gateway to breathtaking golden sandy beaches, towering cliffs, picturesque villages and a whole host of holiday activities. Port Isaac is world famous as Port Wenn in the Doc Martin series, and where rousing sea shanties are sung on Friday Evenings by the Fishermans Friends. It has two amazing Michelin starred restaurants and one of the best seafood shops in Britain straight on the quay side. Port Gaverne, next door, is another stunning inlet and the perfect swimming and canoeing spot. Just a short skip across the Camel estuary on the foot ferry from Rock is the foodie mecca Padstow. The peace and tranquillity of Bodmin Moor is close by for invigorating walks and horse rides, and for the adventurous, you can bike the Camel Trail, walk miles of coast path or indulge in wine tasting at the award-winning local vineyards. The lovely market town of Wadebridge has plenty of independent shops to serve all your holiday needs. Cider Barn is perfectly situated for venturing further afield, visit Tintagel and Boscastle steeped in mystery, legend and myth, or the stunning attractions in South and West Cornwall. There are two beautiful local pubs with delightful beer gardens serving homemade food and locally brewed ales and cider, both are within walking distance. For a special experience, the restaurants of celebrity chefs are also near-by. Perfect for a romantic getaway for two or some well-deserved 'me-time' with your four-legged friends.

Can't recommend this barn enough. It's location is great on a quiet country lane, a 20 minute walk from the local pub and a 15 minute drive to the coast.
The barn itself is amazing with a very modern but cosy feel. The television is huge with Netflix access, the loaf sofa is comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped.
The bedroom is accessed by Jack and Jill steps and I'd imagine these would be a struggle for somebody with limited mobility. Once in the bedroom area there is limited roof space. I'm 5'8" and can just about stand up.
There was a welcome Hamper upon arrival which was very impressive. It was packed with farm shop goodies including wine, bread, biscuits. Our dog even had a goody bag along with a new toy!
Overall a great holiday and I would definitely return.

The Cider Barn is a quirky little cottage that is tastefully decorated and is so modern. It has everything - fantastic bathroom with an awesome bath and shower. Brilliant kitchen with every appliance and utensil. The lounge/dining area was great with a large comfy sofa and a large dining table with fixed bench seating. You had the advantage of watching TV or the view of the garden. Access to the garden was perfect so we could keep an eye our dog. It was very safe and the garden was well maintained. The welcome pack was fantastic. Lots of lovely touches too like the doggy welcome bag. We loved staying there.

Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it’s clear why so many people have fallen in love with this traditional fishing village. Steeped in history, the harbour and many of the cottages date back centuries, with little unchanged by time. Today, visitors travel from afar to experience the quaint village with winding streets and narrow alleyways. Tucked into the rugged coastline, the harbour has always played a key role in the community, with fishermen still landing crabs and lobsters daily.
Port Isaac is home to one of the narrowest alleyways in Britain, named Squeezy Belly Alley.
Quaint buildings and a working harbour create a sense of times gone by.
Leave only footprints in the sand.
The dramatic harbour wall protects the harbour from stormy seas.
Nathan Outlaw’s Restaurant is a must when visiting the village.
Fishermen still land their catch daily on the Platt.
Enjoy a stroll along the South West Coast Path towards Port Quin.
Magnificent rocky headlands frame the fishing village of Port Isaac.
Golden gorse overlooks the azure ocean.
Picture perfect: turquoise waters crash against the sweeping coastline.
Take a moment to gaze upon the horizon, letting go of the stresses and strains of daily life.
Meander through hilly streets admiring the traditional cottages and shop fronts.
Tucked into the coastline, Port Isaac is sheltered by the cliffs either side.
Take in the breathtaking views as you stroll along the coast path.
Stroll down to the sea and paddle your feet in the water while the kids explore the rockpools.
Holidays in Port Isaac are all about the stunning scenery, right on the doorstep. Whether you choose to explore by foot, bike, car, or boat, this stretch of coastline certainly won't disappoint. Hit the Camel Trail for a cycle ride to remember, take a fishing trip and catch your own supper, or if that seems a bit too energetic, a dolphin-spotting trip can be just the ticket! Read more about things to do in Port Isaac.
Anyone who has visited will agree: Port Isaac is the epitome of pretty and picturesque. The petit seaside fishing village lies on Cornwall’s idyllic north coast and beyond its Doc Martin ties and exotic vibe, there’s another reason why it's such a hot holidaying destination – its food.
Port Isaac is blessed with a number of excellent restaurants, including the renowned Nathan Outlaw's Fish Kitchen right on the harbour front. Take a look at our blog about restaurants in Port Isaac to find out more.

The Cider Barn is beautiful and so well equip.The hamper was amazing filled with goodies from the farm shop including jam, cheese, eggs,crisps,apple juice to name but a few! The sound systems amazing and the WiFi super fast. The little garden is lovely too and we had a visitor every morning and evening….a robin. He loved his scones, bread and cheese. I would definitely recommend this accommodation it’s in a perfect position to visit lots of beautiful places, Padstow, Port Isaac, Tintagel and Boscastle.

Beautifully decorated, furnished and equipped hideaway for two with a wonderful slipper bath to soak in after a hard day on the beach!!! A very high standard of accommodation. Plus, the most impressive welcome hamper we've ever had, filled with lots of locally sourced goodies from the near by farm shop .... unbelievable olives and a bottle of Gin .... it doesn't get any better than that!!
Just watch your head in the mezzanine bedroom, its a very low ceiling, so not ideal if you're particularly tall or claustrophobic.
