Port Isaac is a hidden gem in the county of Cornwall. The beautiful fishing community nestled in a steep valley, has remained largely untouched since the days of fishing, slate export, and smuggling in the preceding century. Small character homes and larger cliff-top retreats can both be found within walking distance of the village's many restaurants and shops. As the tide goes out, the sandy harbour provides an abundance of rock pools. The nearby beaches of Polzeath, Daymer, and Rock are only a short drive away, making it ideal for both romantic and family getaways. Parking is plentiful at the village's summit.

The property smelt very fresh on arrival and was spotlessly clean. Beds were extremely comfortable, the bedding and towels great quality. Great base for exploring Cornwall. Thanks to the owner and Sykes for a great break.
