 Rosemary
Cottage is located on Fore Street, (the two photographs below provide
views of Fore Street itself), within the heart of the beautiful and tranquil
village of Port Isaac, some 100 metres from the harbour. With views of
the harbour from the upstairs bedrooms, the cottage is ideally positioned
for access to all village amenities including several pubs and excellent
restaurants - most of which are just a few minutes walk from the front
door.
The double fronted building itself dates back
to the 17th Century and provides accommodation for up to 4 people, offering
a perfect all year round haven for those seeking to explore the village
itself, the nearby coastal paths and the exciting North Cornwall coast
line with its glorious beaches.
Holiday Cottage Accommodation
You
enter the double fronted property via a stable door and find yourself
in a beamed open plan living/dining area offering the perfect place to
relax and watch the world go by.
The charm of the downstairs space is complemented
by an original slate floor and a log burning stove which is particularly
popular during the colder out of season months. In addition, there is
a combined TV/DVD player with a selection of DVDs for your enjoyment .
The kitchen has most features you would expect including Belfast sink,
kettle, toaster, electric oven and hob, microwave, washing machine, ironing
facilities and fridge.
Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, one double
and one twin. Both are bright and airy and both provide views of the sea
and harbour. In addition there is a comfortable bathroom containing bath
with shower attachment, WC, hand basin and heated towel rail. There is
no "power" shower due to building restrictions. A hair dryer is also provided.
PORT ISAAC
Port Isaac is an unspoiled fishing village
located on the stunning and beautiful North Cornwall coast lines - famous
for its outstanding beaches offering all sorts of water sports as well
as its rugged coastline and associated coastal path. The village itself
is full of interest and old world charm, with narrow streets and its picturesque
harbour from where the fisherman still bring in a daily catch.
The
village offers a small beach providing good safe bathing as well as an
excellent opportunity for crab hunting in the rock pools when the tide
is low. Throughout the summer months, every Friday evening, the local
men's folk singers (Fisherman's Friends) perform outside the Slipway Hotel
opposite the harbour entrance and every Thursday evening, the St. Breward
Silver Band also play on the Platt - finishing up with a "Floral Dance"
up and back down through the village.
Port Isaac is a historic and working fishing
village with narrow streets which add to its quirky charm and delightful
character. This means it was never designed to cater for traffic and for
many this is part of the pleasure of visiting. When the tide is out, parking
is available on the beach but we recommend parking in the North Cornwall
District Council car park at the top of the village (less than 10 minutes
walk away). Here you can buy a 7 day ticket - excellent value as it also
allows you to use car parks at Wadebridge, Padstow, Polzeath, Boscastle
etc.
Changeover:
Saturday is changeover day. On the day of arrival you will be able
to get into the cottage after 15.00 and will be required to vacate by
10.00. However our aim is to make your stay as relaxing as possible and
although not promised there may be room for some flexibility on this,
particularly during less busy periods.
We regret to inform you that Rosemary Cottage
is a non smoking property and we regret that pets are not allowed.
BEACHES
Polzeath:
Located some 5 miles from the village, the large expanse of sand at Polzeath
is a magnet to both surfers and families.
Daymer Bay:
Set in the heart of Betjeman country, Daymer Bay is a wind/kite surfers
paradise with appeal too for small children and their buckets and spades.
St. Enodoc Church is within walking distance and provides the final resting
place for the once Poet Laureate.

The tidal waters stretch from the mouth of the estuary some five miles
south towards Wadebridge and up to a mile wide between Rock and Padstow.
Here one can enjoy the calmer, sheltered waters as well as a whole variety
of water sports.

Home to Rick Steins world famous fish restaurant and a picturesque harbour.
Visitors can hire bikes from Padstow and cycle along the level Camel Trail
to Wadebridge or beyond.
