Location was great, customer service was excellent, food was great, and the place is full of charm!
I have been visiting Port Isaac for over 30 years.
I have been visiting Port Isaac for over 30 years. The sea is very attractive, but the village in general appeared tatty, dirty and not gardened. Some houses have expensive renovations, but are sitting empty! The business were similar, which put us off eating at them. The Golden Lion, is full of unchanged character & a good average meal / pint. The jetty fish shop is also good. The co-op is an asset.

Port Isaac is lovely, but access for anyone with walking problems is difficult. It is very steep and not really accessible by car. Parking is at least 20 minutes away.
The School House is a great place to eat.

Port Isaac is a glorious, historic fishing village in North Cornwall. On the harbour level, you'll find a higgledy-piggledy assortment of lanes packed with beautiful, picture-perfect cottages. Also on this level is the beach/harbour itself, a great pub and several tourist shops and restaurants that specialise in locally caught seafood (including Nathan Outlaw's fantastic restaurant).
On Port Isaac's top levels, you'll find shops and more independent restaurants.
It's a really atmospheric, special place, framed by the rugged Cornish coastline. However, be warned: it gets VERY busy in peak season (a nightmare for parking), so consider a stay during quieter times.

It's such a beautiful place to visit all year round.
It's such a beautiful place to visit all year round. Unfortunately, it happened to me to visit it in autumn but anyway, I enjoyed both visits. I believe in summertime it should be outstanding to be there. I would definitely recommend visiting it if you want an escape from the busy city. I would recommend you to visit the Newquay too. It's worth it.

A beautiful, peaceful village. Cornish people so lovely.
A beautiful, peaceful village. Cornish people so lovely. The village is isolated but depicts everything we know it for on the tv and movies (Doc Martin and Fishermen’s Friends). It does not disappoint. But there is much more. artists, nice eateries and gift shops. Also great history and sense of community. It is a relaxed pace to just chill. There are hills and cobblestones streets - but accessible for most. Take a walking tour to find out about history, movie making and life in the village. No access for cars so you must be able to walk everywhere. Do need to use buses or have a car if you wish to explore more of Cornwall. Transport is an issue. Do your research if you are train travellers. If touring then 1 full day and night in Port Isaac a must. Very safe. Loved it! There is a small Co-op. Suggest you take alcohol eg scotch with you if you feel like drink in your accommodation - as not a lot on offer. A range of restaurants. Such fresh seafood. If you have a self contained unit you can buy fresh and eat in. But restaurants offer seafood specials.

It is a beautiful fishing village with lots of good restaurants and shops. Picturesque! We enjoyed our tour of Doc Martin and seeing the scenes from Fishermen’s Friends movie. We would definitely come again but find a day trip would have covered it along with the terrific hike to Port Quinn.
The location, the view, and the property met and exceeded our expectations. The town is wonderful and the hotel puts you in the middle of it. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. Even on a chilly night it was great to crack the window and listen to the waves crashing in the bay. The staff was extremely friend and wonderful to talk with. Breakfast was included and was delicious. We had a wonderful experience at this hotel.
This cottage was perfect for our first trip to Cornwall. We loved Port Isaac (aka Port Wenn)! Location was perfect to walk around the village and see everything. Comfortable bedroom; we used the extra bedroom for luggage and had plenty of space. The kitchenette is nicely appointed and it was nice to have coffee, tea, biscuits and apple cider waiting for us :) Nice to have a heated towel rack in the bathroom :)
We had an excellent holiday at the Longcross Hotel, the staff, Jamie, Arnie & the rest of the team were so friendly, welcoming and worked really hard to ensure all guests had everything they needed despite covid restrictions.
Beautiful gardens to walk around. Good location for centre of Port Isaac and travelling around Cornwall.
Both breakfast & evening meals served in the restaurant are fabulous.
The Slipway is right where you want to be if you are exploring Doc Martin locations! Walk out the door, and the first property is right there. This place is so picturesque. You can't imagine how great the Slipway is! We had a delicious every morning, and we loved relaxing on our balcony looking over the harbor. How could it be any better.
Fabulous location, stayed over Christmas and lovely treats left for us. So much more room than the photos show. Very warm with lots of added extras as in toiletries etc. Bedding so clean and comfortable and right in the heart of Port Isaac with no noise at all. Can't wait to go back. Also the outhouse is an added bonus.
The Gallery is in a perfect location, in the heart of the town. Our room (2) had a glorious view. The immaculate room was very comfortable and pretty, the en suite nicely fitted, and the makings for tea were ready for us. The Wifi was great. Top notch communication. I hated to leave this lovely spot.
This is a great little hotel right in the heart of Port Isaac. We stayed so that we could have dinner at Fish Kitchen nearby. The staff were excellent and extremely accommodating when I wanted to switch rooms. We didn't eat at the hotel but the food, as we passed through, looked fantastic.
Great views over Port Isaac harbour and , due to the size of the village itself, a great place for exploring the said village. A very nice outside lounging area with enhanced views. The shower was a highlight, good power and plenty of heat!
Perfect location but easy to get out of the Village for wider exploring. Car parking space is a massive bonus. We have been visiting Port Isaac for over 20 years and this is the best all round cottage we have stayed in
Zoe was very nice and went out of her way to accommodate our breakfast request.
The bed was very comfortable and the view was so peaceful, also close to Port Isaac which was helpful. I would stay here again!
Great Location. One of the best you could find in Port Isaac. Literally few seconds walking from the Harbour, from the fish market, from local restaurants and cafe. It was magic :)
The location is perfect for exploring the north east Cornish coast and Port Gaverne is beautiful. The hotel has lovely views of the bay and the restaurant is very good
Very comfortable property and within walking distance of many lovely different places to eat.
Midway between the harbour in Port Isaac and Port Gaverne. Lovely views
Cute place! It was fun to see all the cows in the mornings. Nice quiet location not far from Port Isaac. Host was excellent and checked on us when we arrived.
