Port Isaac; one of the true Cornish treasures. A beautiful fishing village nestling in a steep sided valley, the old village in the valley remains unchanged from its days of fishing, slate export and smuggling in the previous century. An abundance of small character properties complemented by larger cliff-top retreats, can be found with easy access to the numerous restaurants and shops of the village. The sandy harbour provides an abundance of rock pools as the tide retreats. There is ample parking at the top of the village and the village is a popular tourist destination with plenty of attractions, including the beautiful Lundy Bay, known for being the filming location of the hugely popular Doc Martin series. You may be lucky enough to see the infamous Fisherman's Friends performing on the Platt during the summer months singing traditional shanties. There are also plenty of pubs, restaurants, and shops in the village. Just a short drive from the beaches of Polzeath, Daymer and Rock, it is perfect for romantic and family holidays alike.

    The villagers were very helpful and friendly. Port Isaac was the ideal location to visit Wadebridge, Padstow and further afield to St Ives. We'd love to come back again!

    A real home from home, such a beautiful cottage. The location was fantastic, about 20 meters from the harbour. A lovely welcome pack on arrival which we didn't expect - thank you xx Plenty of places to eat and a lovely pub too. So many places to visit not too far away. Yes food was probably a little on the expensive side, but so very, very good. A great fish and chip shop with cod and chips at £11, best I've ever had. A Co-op a little way up the bank for anything you can't get in the village. The only thing I would say is if you are big water drinkers the you might want to bring some bottled water, as the tap water is not great. Lots of walking up steep banks, fine for us but should be considered. Car park very reasonable £10.50 for 24 hours. Overall blooming fantastic and would 100% stay again.
