Excellent food and relaxed atmosphere. Good value
Lovely cafe in a perfect setting with views out to sea. Great food and friendly staff - essential to book. Can be tricky to park... you can use the car park in Port Isaac and walk down to the cafe or hitch a ride on the tuk tuk

The Sea View Farm Shop and Cafe is a wonderful place to watch the sun set over the Atlantic. Just a couple of minutes drive from the cottage, you will find the Farm Shop clearly signposted on the left, towards Delabole on the B3314. Food available all day - generous portions. Good for shopping for food essentials with a selection of their own beef and lamb on sale - it is the nearest shop to the cottage. There is live music on certain evenings during the summer. Open every day from 9am to 6pm (5pm on Sundays)
