We had a wonderful stay in this absolutely lovely apartment. Everything was so clean and well equipped. coastal walks on your doorstep. We bought logs from Sea View Farm shop, worth visiting for a coffee/lunch and breathtaking views. Sorry to be leaving here..

Mainbrace is excellently located a short walk up from the harbour, it has views of the breakwater and out to sea. It is very comfortable and warm. It is very well equipped. It has off street parking for two cars. We love it here.Access is by external stairs up to the first floor level front door. This year the owners provided a Coffee machine, this is a very welcome addition.

Absolutely loved Mainbrace. Been coming to Port Isaac for years and this is the loveliest property we've stayed it. Clean and tastefully decorated. Two comfortable ensure bedrooms. Both with sea view. The kitchen is extremely well equipped. Main bedroom has a TV which is a bonus because a lot of properties don't. Right in the heart of Port Isaac and has 2 parking spaces which is a big plus point. We will definitely be back.
