Port Isaac Location

The Slipway is located in the village of Port Isaac, on the historic wild west coast of Cornwall. It's dreamily steps from the sea and the fictional cottage home of television character Doc Martin. Landmarks nearby include St Minver Church (4.5 km), Port Isaac Harbour (0.3 km), Doyden Castle (3 km), Cliffside Gallery (0.5 km), The Platt (0.3 km), Harbour, Port Isaac (0.3 km), and Collegiate Church of St Endellion (0.3 km). The Slipway advises leaving your car up the hill on New Road. The walk from-and-to the car park might take anything between 5-20 minutes depending on physical stamina as there is no parking in these time-trapped streets. Newquay is 40 km away.

B&B Amenities

The Slipway B&B, opened all year round, has been a smugglers hideaway and a ships chandlery. Free full breakfast is provided. The building is undergoing restoration work with new furnishings and minor repairs.

“This adults-only B&B, nestled in Port Isaac, provides a serene escape. The seafood-focused restaurant truly stands out. It's perfectly situated to explore the village and coastal paths.”
