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.

The most magical time of the year is almost upon us, and where better place to spend the festivities than in beautiful Cornwall?

Cornish pubs are atmospheric, welcoming and warming, especially after a blustery walk on the coast. Sit down around the fire, pint in hand, or tuck yourself into a corner with a plate piled with roast and gravy - the best wet and wild winter weekends end in one of North Cornwall’s rustic pubs.
