Guests say

Honey Cottage in Port Isaac offers a comfortable stay with its charming character and excellent location close to the beach and pub. While guests love the cottage's comfort and location, there are concerns about dampness and maintenance issues that need addressing.

Guests have reported a persistent damp smell affecting the crockery and causing discomfort. Windows were also noted to be very dirty, detracting from the overall cleanliness.

The cottage's location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach and local amenities, making it an ideal spot for holidaymakers.

The beds are described as really comfortable, contributing to a good night's sleep. However, the damp issue has caused some discomfort for guests.

There are several maintenance issues reported, such as a broken tap, painted shut windows, and a lack of hot water at the start of the stay. These issues suggest the need for better upkeep of the facilities.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

About this property

Nestled in the charming, coastal, Cornish village of Port Isaac is Honey Cottage. This characterful cottage boasts a fantastic location in Port Isaac which is easily recognisable as the setting of Doc Martin, the cottage itself featured heavily in an episode of the TV show! It also benefits from both the stunning coastline and easy access to the countryside, a close location to the village’s amenities and a welcoming interior adorned with exposed beams and parquet flooring; the perfect setting for families or friends looking to explore the wonders of Cornwall. Make your way into your new home-from-home and head straight into the fully-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up tasty meals that the whole family can enjoy around the dining table. Tuck into this delicious meal and raise a toast to your getaway before unwinding on the plush sofas in front of the smart 4k TV or spark up competition with the collection of games available. When the evening draws to a close, follow the stairs to the first floor where you can wash off the day’s adventures in the shower room before sloping off to sleep in either of the two double bedrooms or the single room. During the day, take a short walk to Port Gaverne Beach where you can soak up the sun, admire the stunning views across the azure, explore the surrounding caves or take to the open water on paddle boards or kayaks. Later, fans of Doc Martin, can explore iconic filming locations like Doyden Castle, the Golden Lion Pub, Louisa’s home on Fore Street or the windswept Bodmin Moor. Follow the coast to find other iconic coastal village including Polzeath with its beautiful beach, Padstow housing the National Lobster Hatchery and picturesque harbour and Newquay which is famed for its surfing opportunities, exotic zoo and family-friendly aquarium. Explore the wonders of the Cornish coast at Honey Cottage.

The harbour town of Port Isaac is one of Cornwall's greatest attractions. The historic village in the valley, which was once used for fishing, slate export, and smuggling, has remained almost unchanged since the turn of the last century. There is a wide variety of housing options, from charming cottages to spacious cliffside mansions, all within walking distance of the village's many eateries and boutiques. As the tide goes out, the sandy harbour fills with rock pools. Visitors flock to the village to see its many sights, such as the imposing Doyden Castle, the picturesque Lundy Bay, and the world-famous Doc Martin's clinic, and to park in the plentiful lots at the village's highest point. The village also features numerous bars, eateries, and boutiques. It's conveniently located within a short drive to the sandy shores of Polzeath, Daymer, and Rock, making it ideal for getaways of all kinds.

    Only problem was the narrow passage between one of the bedroom doors and the bathroom door and a weak shower unit, but not that it stopped us having a lovely stay in Port Isaac.

  • Abbie

    !! Couldn't fault anything. Location was just amazing so close to beach and the pub. We had an amazing stay/holiday thank you so much!! We will 100% book honey cottage again.

  • Vanessa

    The only issue was the very dirty windows, which made it feel a bit shabby/unclean. We appreciate the weather in Port Isaac, but these really did need a good clean to see out of. Otherwise, all good. Thank you.
