Follow a few steps down to Church Rooms' fantastic social hub, the adjoining sitting room, where visitors may congregate to play games, relax in plush sofas with a glass of wine, and start the woodburning stove to create a peaceful atmosphere. Large patio doors open out onto the balcony, which has fantastic sea views across Port Isaac's roofs, making it a bright area to drink your morning coffee and relax while on vacation. Climb the ladder up to the second-floor mezzanine snug overlooking the living spaces with more stunning views in a calm spot, suitable for resting with a good book or catching up with a loved one. Outside, on the front patio, there is a wooden seat where you can sit and watch the world go by before venturing into Port Isaac. The charming fishing community preserves much of its original charm, with a plethora of stores and cafés where you can stock up on ingredients for home-cooked meals or dine out before taking a stroll along the lovely harbour in the evening. Travel west for a day at Polzeath, a little community and surfers' paradise; wander along picture-perfect sand and shingle beaches, explore an abundance of rock pools, or follow the coastal paths for breath-taking sea views from The Rumps and the National Trust Pentire Point. Padstow, with its historic fisherman's cottages and merchants, is also a short drive west, where you can sample local seafood, cycle or stroll The Camel Trail and take in the spectacular surroundings, or take a boat tour across the magnificent harbour for wildlife spotting or fishing. Storytellers will adore Tintagel, which is rich with tales and legends; climb cliffs up to the ruins of Tintagel Castle, explore Merlin's Cave during low tides, and close the day with a lovely supper in one of the tiny tea shops. Choose Church Rooms for a relaxing stay with views of the sea and easy access to the best of Cornwall's attractions.
