First And Last

First And Last is a converted historic barn in Port Isaac, sleeping four across a king-size bedroom and a twin, each served by its own bathroom. Stone walls and wooden beams from the original building remain in place, giving the interior more character than a typical new-build holiday let.

The hot tub sits at an elevated point with a view over Port Isaac, and a wood burner covers colder evenings indoors. Wi-Fi, parking, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a garden and a barbecue are all included, and up to one dog can stay.

Port Gaverne Beach is 400 metres away, a sheltered cove with rock pools at low tide. Tregardock Beach is 3.4 miles from the barn and Polzeath Beach 4.1 miles, both worth the drive for open Atlantic surf. Tintagel Castle is also within reach by car. The Port Isaac guide covers the working harbour, the narrow streets used in Doc Martin, and Nathan Outlaw's Michelin-starred restaurant.

First And Last holds a 5 out of 5 rating from six reviews, with cleanliness, equipment, comfort and location all scoring 5.

**Best for:** a family or two couples wanting two bathrooms, a hot tub with harbour views, and Port Gaverne Beach on the doorstep. **Less good for:** guests needing step-free access, or groups with more than one dog.
