Whether you're looking to relax on the beach, explore the castle, or take a hike along the stunning cliffs, Port Isaac has something for everyone. Visit the small village of Polzeath for superb surfing conditions and for excellent bars/restaurants head to the seaside town of Padstow, perfect for foodies.

One of the real Cornish jewels is Port Isaac. The old village in the valley, a charming fishing community nestled in a valley with steep sides, has not altered since the previous century, when it was a centre for smuggling, slate export, and fishing. You can find a lot of little character homes mixed in with bigger cliff-top retreats, all with convenient access to the village's many eateries and shops. As the water recedes, the sandy harbour offers an abundance of rock pools. It is ideal for both romantic getaways and family vacations because it is only ten minutes by car from the beaches of Polzeath, Daymer, and Rock. At the peak of the village, there is plenty of parking.

Itâs such a nice and quiet time of year to visit. Bakery downstairs, pub with great food opposite, chippy up the road, coo-op in walking distance - Pibbies is perfectly situated and very comfortable and cozy, we love it.

Friendly, efficient and very helpful. Pibbies was great, very comfortable, clean and appreciated the linen etc being provided. Issue with the loo was dealt with promptly by owner and by Jackie. That said, although we had a great time, I do think it was expensive for the finish and size - weâve been coming to Port Isaac for over 25 years staying in properties right on the harbour and higher up on both sides of the village and Pibbies was both the smallest and most expensive property we have rented to date.

There was no clear sign indicating the property. Once inside we were pleased with how spacious the property was but disappointed in the cleanliness. Every surface was sticky and marked with drips. The dishwasher was disgusting! The bed in the single room was uncomfortable, our daughter could feel the springs through the mattress. Soundproofing was non existent, we could hear every conversation in the pasty shop below. On the plus side, the property is in a beautiful village with gorgeous views. In our opinion, there are far nicer and quirkier properties in the village.
