Weekend in Cornwall

We were able to stay in this beautiful cottage in the picturesque sea town of Port Issac. Cottage was clean and updated and famous of course. The drive is tough through town but worth it when you get to the property for the view. Rent a smaller car so you can make the turns on these narrow streets. Will stay again.

Doc Martin cottage

We had a wonderful, comfortable stay at Fern Cottage. As Doc Martin fans, we enjoyed seeing Port Isaac. Watching the tide go in and out was a show in itself and we got a kick out of watching people smile as they walked by the cottage, usually stopping to take photos.

Beautiful cottage, but obvious downside is the connection with Doc Martin and constant tourist taking pics but i got used to that and i would have been doing the same!Only one little thing, couldnt get heating to work in chilly evenings But overall I absolutely loved my stay at the Doc's cottage

Great stay doe a couple of Doc Martin fans!

Loved staying here... The views were simply spectacular. Familiarizing ourselves with many of the places that were familiar to us made Port Wenn come to life. The real world Port Isaac was charming as well. Loved the super local feel. The cottage was very well appointed and made our stay the best!

Beautiful place

The cottage is lovely and the village is amazing. . We parked in the New Road car park and walked to the cottage which was much better than trying to negotiate driving in Port Issac. The cottage was lovely and cosy and while there were people taking pictures outside I just kept the blinds closed and it was fine.

Doc Martin fans will not be disappointed!

If your a Doc Martin fan, and even if your not, the house, setting, and proximity to Port Isaac will not disappoint. Although the interior scenes were filmed elsewhere the interior is very warm and cozy and is very relaxing.Yes, you will have fans stopping and taking pictures. Some may even try to enter so key the doors locked.We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend it!

Lovely cottage and stunning views.

We loved the cottage. It was extremely clean and comfortable I especially appreciated the crisp bed linen! The views are stunning and we can highly recommend The Mote and The Old Schoolhouse restaurants in Port Isaac. Do expect a lot of tourists taking photos outside the cottage. And don’t forget to lock the door once inside as we had a couple of tourists take photos at the front door and then try the handle and open it!

Dream ComeTrue

To stay in Fern Cottage was magic. We loved sitting on the landing upstairs and watching the harbour. It’s a lot more private up there. The passing tourists are annoying, especially when they come up the front steps and hang around, leaning on the dining room window.

Fern Cottage

Overall a good stay was good but the hedge out front had grown and block our million dollar view so that was disappointing. The plumbing became a problem when the downstairs toilet overflowed and no solution was found in time to fix it. We stayed here a few years ago and while This house is cute and well situated its overpriced now for the quality it delivers .
