Here in Port Isaac the village certainly quietens down after the October half term holidays, which is perfect if you are looking for a quiet, cosy, break to recharge your batteries. Embrace the long lie-ins, blow away the cobwebs with a blustery walk along the coast path, light the log burner and break out some board games or that book, and enjoy fantastic food with family and friends.
