Sit on the Platt and watch the boats come back with their catch or enjoy a tasty snack and a drink in one of the pubs and cafes. Follow the South West Coast Path to Port Quin where you can see Doyden Castle, a tiny 19th century fortress on the cliff edge, or drive to Polzeath Beach for a day of sunbathing, building sandcastles, or learning to surf. After a day of excitement return to White Horses for a relaxing evening.
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.

Slightly tatty compared to when we stayed in 2015 though. It feels like a bit more maintenance could be done. Wobbly door handles upstairs, fittings missing from bathroom walls and washing the outside of the windows once in a while wouldn't go a miss!! Also there were lots of cobwebs, and some crumbs and mess in some kitchen cupboards. Didn't take away from a lovely week in our favourite place though.

Port Isaac is an archetypal Cornish fishing harbour, has great pubs, magnificent coastline to explore. It is a warm, clean house. Everything worked fine. Took a bit of fiddling to get the Wi-Fi on but after that it was seamless. A previous visitor left good instructions for the hob. It's our second visit at a John Bray property, both were spotless with more than enough towels and a few much appreciated treats. We will return.

Small house but perfectly formed. The cons: no lid on the bin in the kitchen, no non-slip mat or soap dish in the shower, too many cobwebs and spiders in the Juliet balcony. However, we must like this place as it is our third visit!
