In the pretty village of Trelights, a mile from the coast path and two miles from the north Cornish fishing village of Port Isaac is Kelmscot. This beautiful Cornish retreat once the blacksmith’s cottage, seamlessly blends characterful original features with contemporary style and elegance. Enter into a bright and welcoming sitting room, with full height windows to bring in the light and a feature wood burning stove - simply divine and the perfect place to relax no matter the season. The kitchen diner is the real heart of the home; here you will find everything you’ll need to rustle up a feast which you can enjoy at the dining table or al fresco in the garden. As the evening draws to a close, three sumptuous bedrooms await, two doubles with zip link beds for flexible sleeping and a double room on the ground floor. They share a gorgeous family bathroom. Outside, a sunny patio and smart lawned garden await (garden not enclosed); perfect for morning coffee or a BBQ on a summer’s eve. After a day on the beach you can rinse away the salt and sand with a convenient outside shower. Walkers will love this stretch of the nearby coast path which has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Explore the pretty harbour village of Port Isaac where you’ll find some world class eateries or the secluded sandy cove at Port Gaverne where there are opportunities for sea-kayaking and coasteering days out. Families will love Daymer Bay (dog friendly all year round) and Polzeath; the area's best surfing beach. Tintagel Castle, Pencarrow House and Garden in Bodmin, as well as the Pentargon Waterfall in Boscastle are all well worth a visit and within easy reach. For days out and days in, Kelmscot is the perfect Cornish retreat.

Port Isaac, one of the undiscovered treasures of Cornwall. A beautiful fishing village nestling in a steep sided valley, the old village in the valley remains unchanged from its days of fishing, slate export and smuggling in the previous century
