Great location, great views and great breakfast
Pros:

The room was small but really nice and the view to the slipway was beautiful. The breakfast was great, great food with good service.

Cons:

With the room being small the bed was close to a wall - but the room and view itself made up for the size.

Good location and nice staff, but not value for money.
Pros:

Good location and friendly staff

Cons:

Bedroom tiny. Shower room absolutely tiny. I don’t think it is reasonable to be asked to pay extra for a flat white coffee with the “included” breakfast.

So central!
Pros:

Lovely room and bathroom right in the heart of the village. Beautifully furnished. We took the advice given and left car up in the village car park and very glad we did not drive down into the main centre as it’s very tight. Enjoyed a lovely breakfast in the morning. So central.

Great location, staff were friendly and efficient, room was clean and well equipped.
Pros:

Location is great, right in the heart of Port Isaac.

Cons:

The room felt cramped but that is only to be expected when you are in such an old building. It’s entirely to don with the addition of the on suite but it was a small price to pay.

Tolle Lage in einem tollen Ort
Pros:

Das Slipway liegt super zentral in Ort, besser geht es eigentlich nicht. Wir hatten ein hübsches Zimmer mit Balkon und mit Aussicht auf die Rettungsbootstation.

Cons:

Das Queensizebett war eines für sehr zierliche Queens und die Küche im angeschlossenen Pub und der Service haben uns leider nicht besonders begeistert.

Lovely stay in a beautiful location, despite a couple of minor inconveniences
Pros:

Really central location to walk around Port Isaac and explore where Doc Martin was filmed. The view from our room was lovely and we had a sea breeze that keep us comfortable on a hot summers day. The room was clean

Cons:

Being in the centre of all the action made for a late night due to a street performance keeping us from sleeping until very late. The room was tiny with the smallest shower I’ve ever seen. There was very limited patchy internet connection
