Loved port Issac
Pros:

Location is perfect to walk around and see the harbour and all the other places of interest especially if you're a Doc Martin fan. If you have a vehicle, don't try to get to the hotel to drop off your bags as the streets are very narrow and heaps of people walking on them . Might be ok if you have a mini. Take the first park you see. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The longish walk to get to the Slipway. 600-700 MTRS.

Lovely stay in the heart of Port Isaac.
Pros:

Lovely authentic place in the heart of Port Isaac. Great staff, great facilities, great food.

Cons:

Only minor downside was the WiFi being a bit poor, but honestly who wants to be on their phone when in Port Isaac.

Location is Exceptional.
Pros:

Location, pricing and the room itself was exceptional.

Cons:

Breakfast could have been better. Key ingredient missing from order as it had run out. Would have been better to know when ordering so it could have been changed, not once it was served!
Staff were friendly enough.

good but too expensive for me to return solo
Pros:

It was very clean. The staff were great. They were very helpful. Bar and outside seating area great overlooking harbour. Great location. Room generally nice but small and bathroom very small. I was alone so size ok but may be different if there were 2 guests.

Cons:

Food could have been better. Breakfast buffet selections not great As a historic building I know it cannot be helped re size and sloping floors but no bedside table annoying . No room made up unless you specifically request . In heat wave could have provided fans . I paid 758 pound for 3 night b and b so did not feel value for money I understand Cornwall prices but that comes out at 274 a night b and b which is a lot. Also quite far from car park in terms of moving luggage. I know you can bring car down to off load but streets narrow and busy. Also breakfast would have been nice earlier than 830 especially when travelling a long way home an early start is nice . Could have done with a small table on balcony
