Few sights can rekindle the heart's flame like pastel rainbow sunsets viewed from the private verandas of holiday cottages in Port Isaac. A glass of wine; fresh, seared, local scallops dripping in butter sauce; mild, regional cheeses; and a quiet holiday home for two are the perfect ingredients for an ideal romantic getaway.
Wake to a crisp morning in the peaceful solitude of your cottage boudoir and wander the winding streets of this 14th Century fishing village, hand in hand. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy a quiet niche along Port Isaac's soothing surf. Rejuvenation and reconnection are the catch of the day in this quaint, historical town.
Port Isaac, while small, offers age old beauty in both manmade and natural forms with whitewashed stone shops, narrow passageways and alleys just waiting to be explored. Make your way to the top of a verdant hill and drink in the timeless vista of hedgerow-lined fields and the blue-grey pool of the peaceful harbour below.
In this little hamlet, romance can lead to adventure. Would coastal kayaking, open sea fishing charters, or medieval jousting festivals light your fire? Port Isaac and the neighbouring regions have all of these, and more. Feel like King Arthur and his Guinevere as you conquer every challenge the Cornish coast can dish out.
Though self-catering allows you the option of quiet home cooked dinners, Port Isaac's Fore Street and Harbour Front also boast the finest in flavours from casual pub fare to genuine cuisine. Choose from country-style crab dinners, served up with a pint of Cornish Ale at a Victorian Inn, Thai-inspired bistro dishes with ambience to spare, and Cornwall's finest cookery created from the day's freshest catch.
When it's time to escape the noise and travails of everyday city life, step across the threshold of your own romantic hideaway and find the spark inside.
