    Hello,

    If you want a cottage in cornwall then I can reccomend the following is cheap. Its very near the sea in port issac. (Where they film ITV's Doc Martin - Martin Clunes)

    It cost us Just over £300 for a week bank holiday week in august last year.

    It has 2 bedrooms, tv, kitchen & parking!

    More info http://www.stilwell.co.uk/show_town.asp?Q=hc|L4253793

    The cottage is booked direct through the owner, Mrs Dawson 01491 641030

    It is basic but clean.

    Hope it helps

    Rawy mentioned Mrs Dawson owned it so it must be the 5th one down on the list.
