The Shambles – Port Isaac – Sleeps Four – Off Site Parking
Imagine waking up to the gentle sounds of the seaside village of Port Isaac coming alive. The Shambles, a charming two-storey cottage, is tucked away just behind the harbour front, offering the perfect blend of peace and proximity. Take a refreshing dip in the sea just steps away, then stroll back for a leisurely breakfast.
Off-site parking ensures a stress-free arrival, allowing you to fully immerse yourselves in the magic of Port Isaac.
Step inside and be greeted by an authentic Cornish atmosphere. Original slate flooring and exposed beams set the scene, while the luxuriously furnished living area invites relaxation. Curl up on the large, soft-suede Chesterfield sofa or fire up the stunning inset woodburner for a cosy evening. Open the stable door and let in the sounds of the village – the perfect soundtrack to your escape.

The property is beautifully presented and spotlessly clean in a killer location. It might be noisy and congested in the high season, but on a sunny weekend in April it was perfect.
If you are a fan of Doc Martin you will love it. You walk out the front door and straight into the "Crab & Lobster" which is actualy The Golden Lion.
Its just yards away from the Michellin Stared Outlaws Fish Kichen. Book well in advance (months) if you want to guarantee a table in the high season, but its worth it.
The managing agent was really helpful when we had a small issue with the key safe.
The property has a parking space which are at a premium in Port Isaac.
A word of warning: the space is on the edge of town about 1/4 mile away, and it is a strenuous walk up a very steep hill. If you are fit and healthy its no problem. If you have mobility issues it might be.
