Great location, on the pricey side though.
Pros:

Good location, right on the harbour front. Nice breakfast. Allowed us to check in early which was a lovely gesture.

Cons:

We had a small room, quite noisy as you can hear the other rooms easily. Staff seemed overwhelmed at busy times.

Pros:

Fantastiskt läge i hamnen. Jättefint och fräscht rum och badrum. Sköna sängar och kuddar. Väldigt trevlig personal och jättegod frukost. Åker vi till Port Isaac igen kommer vi definitivt boka rum på The Slipway igen.
