Weekend in Cornwall

We were able to stay in this beautiful cottage in the picturesque sea town of Port Issac. Cottage was clean and updated and famous of course. The drive is tough through town but worth it when you get to the property for the view. Rent a smaller car so you can make the turns on these narrow streets. Will stay again.

Doc Martin cottage

We had a wonderful, comfortable stay at Fern Cottage. As Doc Martin fans, we enjoyed seeing Port Isaac. Watching the tide go in and out was a show in itself and we got a kick out of watching people smile as they walked by the cottage, usually stopping to take photos.

Loved staying here... The views were simply spectacular. Familiarizing ourselves with many of the places that were familiar to us made Port Wenn come to life. The real world Port Isaac was charming as well. Loved the super local feel. The cottage was very well appointed and made our stay the best!

Beautiful place

The cottage is lovely and the village is amazing. . We parked in the New Road car park and walked to the cottage which was much better than trying to negotiate driving in Port Issac. The cottage was lovely and cosy and while there were people taking pictures outside I just kept the blinds closed and it was fine.

Dream ComeTrue

To stay in Fern Cottage was magic. We loved sitting on the landing upstairs and watching the harbour. It’s a lot more private up there. The passing tourists are annoying, especially when they come up the front steps and hang around, leaning on the dining room window.

Lovely cottage and stunning views.

We loved the cottage. It was extremely clean and comfortable I especially appreciated the crisp bed linen! The views are stunning and we can highly recommend The Mote and The Old Schoolhouse restaurants in Port Isaac. Do expect a lot of tourists taking photos outside the cottage. And don’t forget to lock the door once inside as we had a couple of tourists take photos at the front door and then try the handle and open it!

Doc Martin fans will not be disappointed!

If your a Doc Martin fan, and even if your not, the house, setting, and proximity to Port Isaac will not disappoint. Although the interior scenes were filmed elsewhere the interior is very warm and cozy and is very relaxing.Yes, you will have fans stopping and taking pictures. Some may even try to enter so key the doors locked.We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend it!

About the host

Why they chose this property

Pet friendly but please check with owner before booking

‘Fern Cottage’ occupies an incredible, highly-coveted, elevated setting overlooking Port
Isaac harbour, the village and out to sea. Every principal room takes full advantage of the truly gorgeous views across the historic and picturesque harbour. This is an exceedingly desirable and sought-after area of North Cornwall, with close proximity to such well-known villages as Rock, Trebetherick, Polzeath and also within easy reach of Boscastle and Tintagel.

What makes this property unique

Unique. location above the harbour of Port Isaac

Port Isaac is a truly wonderful ‘old’ village, which has remained unspoiled with the passage of time, with slate-roofed cottages lining the narrow lanes and alleyways which wind down the side of the steep valley to the harbour. Two noticeable features are Temple Bar – recorded as the narrowest thoroughfare in the world and known locally as ‘Squeeze Belly
Alley’ and the ‘Bird-Cage’ – so named because of its unusual shape; it was used at one
time as a cobblers’ shop and is now owned by the National Trust. There is a thriving
village community with shops, restaurants, school and doctors’ group practice and further facilities catering for everyday needs.
