“I am sure there is nothing we found in Port Isaac itself that you do not already know about.”
However, we really must sing the praises of the Cream Teas available in the Terrace Tearooms in Tintagel Terrace. The proprietors, Bev and Steve, have got so much right from a really hospitable welcome and wonderfully dry sense of humour to the thoughtful way real leaf Tregothnan tea is served and the outstanding quality of the scones themselves.
Our other local discovery of note is the Fishernans Friends concert on the Platt. We did not know about these last year and are so glad we managed to catch the last one of the season on the evening we arrived. Truly wonderful entertainment in exactly the correct context.
For your visitors travelling further afield, we would particularly recommend both The Shed and Mad Hatters in Wadebridge for coffee, lunch and afternoon teas and also the Harbour Cafe in Boscastle, for more or less the same.

About the location
PORT ISAAC
Polzeath 6 miles; Padstow 9 miles
Port Isaac; one of the true Cornish treasures. A beautiful fishing village nestling in a steep sided valley, the old village in the valley remains unchanged from its days of fishing, slate export and smuggling in the previous century. An abundance of small character properties complemented by larger cliff-top retreats, can be found with easy access to the numerous restaurants and shops of the village. The sandy harbour provides an abundance of rock pools as the tide retreats. Only ten minutes drive from the beaches of Polzeath, Daymer and Rock, it is perfect for romantic and family holidays alike. There is ample parking at the top of the village.
