About Quin Cottage

Quin Cottage is one of two former fisherman’s cottages located just moments from the sea, where a tiny fjord reveals a beach at low tide. Inside, you’ll find bright and airy interiors with cool cream walls, wood flooring and a modern bathroom. The cottage has an elevated, private garden which is accessed by walking a few metres along a lane.

Swing open the stable door and breathe in a healthy dose of fresh sea air before exploring the beautiful inlet of Port Quin.

Hop on to the South West Coast Path for hikes to Port Issac, famous for its link to Doc Martin or head west to the sandy surfing beach, Polzeath. The more adventurous might want to discover the coast via kayak or cycle along the Camel estuary to Padstow.  We’ll provide secure storage if you’d like to bring your own kayak or bike.
