Fronthill
House
Self-catering Accommodation - Port Isaac
'ideally positioned to take advantage
of the spectacular local scenery'
Sleeps up to six people
Commanding Sea Views
Fronthill House is a spacious Edwardian villa, newly
refurbished to reflect the expectations of modern living while preserving
all aspects of a Cornish house by the sea. Built in the first decade
of the last century, the house is set on three floors and comfortably
accommodates six people. With its commanding views of the sea and
surrounding hills, it is an ideal base from which to explore the
wonders of Cornwall or to retreat to a bolthole that provides within
its beach-house ambience open fires, wooden and slate floors and
a bespoke chestnut kitchen.
Fronthill House also features a terraced patio leading
to a lawned garden, designer bathrooms, two double bedrooms and
one twin, and in the glass-roofed kitchen, a four-oven Aga.
The property will be appreciated by people who would
like to explore their culinary skills in the bespoke kitchen, value
the luxury of an open fire in the living area; soaking in a cast
iron bath after the rigours of a walk to Port Quin, or just chill
out with a book whilst enjoying the magnificent views of Roscarrock
Hill and the waves pounding the rocks at Lobber Point.
Port Isaac and North Cornwall
Port Isaac is a picturesque fishing village set amidst
rugged and magnificent scenery on Cornwall's north coast. It has
a strong community and lies in an area of outstanding natural beauty
with steep narrow lanes that exude a gallimaufry of old world charm.
Walkers are rewarded with spectacular views, rugged cliffs and secluded
coves rich in flora and fauna, with wild flowers and lichen growing
among the rocks.
The coastal path to Port Quin is particularly breathtaking
and demanding. Port Gaverne's small sandy beach next to Port Isaac
is very safe for small children and Port Isaac itself has great
rock pools and a cave for kids to explore. Five miles away is Polzeath,
a surfer's paradise.
Daymer Bay just beyond Polzeath has an amazing expanse
of sandy beach, and is also great for families. Rock is 10 minutes
drive away and these three beaches offer some of Cornwall's best
sailing, surfing and water skiing. The area also offers the world
famous St. Enodoc golf course, cycling on the Camel trail and horse
riding over Bodmin Moor. In the summer season you can book fishing
and scenic trips from Port Isaac and Padstow.
A few miles to the North is Tintagel and King Arthur's
Castle. It is an exhilarating experience of mystery, myth and magic
- a place where a King ruled and a legend was born. Boscastle has
its own witchcraft museum and some delightful shops and tea rooms.
The Eden Project, 40 minutes drive away, is one of
Britain's top Landmark Millennium projects created to tell the story
of mankind's relationship with plants. It houses an abundance of
flowers from all over the globe. Travel the world in a day from
tropical rainforests to the Mediterranean.
