Welcome to Port Isaac and the beautiful Jolie Brise.
Tucked away along Temple Bar (locally nicknamed Squeezee Belly Alley), Jolie Brise offers some peace away from the hustle and bustle yet is right in the heart of the village.
With such a great choice of places to eat out in Port Isaac, we don't think you will be spending much time in the kitchen.
There's a choice of three bedrooms to delight.
Bedroom 1 is a grand room on the first floor.
This traditional cottage was once the home of the skipper of the Jolie Brise, the winner of the first Fastnet race.
The kitchen has all you need to get culinary creative.
The open plan living-room spreads across the whole of the ground floor, to ensure you make the most of time together.
Creatively styled throughout, Jolie Brise is packed full of antique finds.
On chillier evenings, throw a log or two on the wood-burner.
The room is warm and inviting.
Let's step into bedroom 1.
Bedroom 1 is surprisingly spacious for a traditional cottage.
Lovely touches throughout.
There are some wonderful details throughout the cottage.
Snuggle under the covers of the king-size bed in bedroom 1.
Start the day with a refreshing shower in bedroom 1's en suite.
The family bathroom is located on the first floor.
You may prefer a leisurely soak or a refreshing shower - the choice is yours.
It's a beautifully styled room.
Should you need to catch up with some work, pull up a pew at the desk on the first floor landing.
There's another king-size bed in bedroom 2 on the second floor.
The feature wallpaper really brings the room to lfe.
Younger members will love the twin bedroom on the first floor.
There's a selection of books when it comes to a bedtime story.
The view from the landing across the rooftops of the neighbouring cottages.
There's the tiniest courtyard at the back, somewhere to sit out with your favourite cuppa.
The village of Port Isaac is famous for TV's Doc Martin, The Fisherman's Friends and Michelin star chef Nathan Outlaw.
The village is quite simply picture perfect.
Popular with both surfers and families, Polzeath beach is simply stunning.
A little further up the coast is the village of Boscastle.
Head out along the coastal footpath to discover marvellous sea vistas around every corner.
Take the foot ferry from Rock over to Cornwall's culinary capital, Padstow.

This was a wonderful house in a very central location - beautifully decorated. (The “outside space” is very small / we didn’t find this particularly useable).

We're so pleased to see you enjoyed your stay. The courtyard is tiny, we agree. Being a traditional cottage tucked away in the heart of Port Isaac, there is a compromise on outside space, this perhaps being a spot for fishermen of old to store crabpots or their daily catch rather than a place for the family to enjoy a barbecue or play games. It is a brilliant little nook to enjoy a peaceful cuppa before the world is awake, or for leaving sandy beach gear, and we're sure you'll agree that the proximity to all that the village offers, and the harbour shoreline is a worthwhile trade off.

The cottage is beautiful, so nicely decorated and comfortable. It's a perfect location in the middle of the town. However, if you have mobility issues then it would be a problem as you can't take your car near the cottage. A parking space is at the top of a steep hill which meant we got our exercise, but was a good addition to the house. Lovely restaurants and pubs nearby. Such a pretty place to stay and lots of lovely places nearby to get to. Fowey, Padstow and Tintagel were great places to see. Recommend The Mote and The Port Gaverne for food without traveling and Paul Ainsworth's Caffe Rojano in Padstow was so tasty and not overly expensive. A great find. A lovely holiday ?? ...
