PORT ISAAC

Port Isaac is an unspoiled fishing village located on the stunning and beautiful North Cornwall coast lines - famous for its oustanding 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.

OTHER INFORMATION

Car Parking: 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 for £21 GBP - excellent value as it also allows you to use car parks at Wadebridge, Padstow, Polzeath, Boscastle etc.

It is possible to park on Fore Street, near to Rosemary Cottage for a short period of time to drop off and collect suitcases and belongings, space permitting.

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 Laureat.
