The cottage has been completely renovated and refurbished to create a stylish holiday retreat for two.

A wood burning stove creates a warm and ambient atmosphere in the spacious lounge whilst the adjacent kitchen/diner is smart and well equipped. On the first floor there a small snug, where you can read quietly in a comfy chair. A private parking space for one car is tucked at the front of the cottage, together with a small patio seating area. Accessed via a small lane at the rear of the cottage is a small decked area with a table and chairs, and a further garden area with a shed, ideal for drying wet suits or storing bicycles.

Always a lovely welcoming gift. Beautifully done in blue and white, has everything you need, especially in the kitchen. Brilliantly situated for coastal walks and not far to drive to sandy beaches. The parking spot is good as theyâre rare in Port Isaac

The Keep Pot has everything you need for a great holiday for two, and Port Isaac is a wonderful location, especially if you are a Doc Martin or Fishermenâs Friends fan which were filmed in the village. We quickly discovered a really good Co-op (has a sea view on the way back!) within walking distance but further up a steep hill on the main road, but it has a carpark if you prefer to drive up or need a lot of shopping. Everything in Port Isaac village is easily walkable, including several excellent restaurants and great pubs, we enjoyed many of them such The Golden Lion, The Old School House, The Mote and also The Angry Anchovy up on New Road which serves great pizza. There are also several fine dining restaurants, Nathan Outlawâs up on New Road and his Fish restaurant opposite the Platt, but as we were (supposedly) self catering we also bought great shellfish and crab opposite The Slipway to eat back at The Keep Pot, paired with fabulous artisan bread from nearby bread shop and a lovely bottle of wine left by the very thoughtful owner. If youâre lucky enough to be at The Keep Pot in summer, a short walk onto the coastal path along the harbour around 9.30 pm (sunset while we were there) will reward you with one of the loveluest sunsets ever. Loved it here, canât wait to go back.
