    We went out of season and were able to enjoy the fantastic coastal path which is just a few strides away. The cottage was well equipped, beautifully clean and so convenient for the village. The big bonus for Port Isaac was the parking space - a rare commodity. Loved every second of it.

The lovely garden at the back of the cottage was beautiful to sit in the evening with all the gorgeous plants in full bloom as the weather was very kind to us for the whole week.

    From the first second we entered the cottage when we were welcomed with flowers, a beautifully decorated table for 2 with candles and a bottle of mulled wine. Mary has this cottage decorated to a highest standard, I could not fault it. The kitchen was well stocked, even baking tins! If you fancied you could bake a Victoria Sponge! Or two. The location was just perfect, off the main drag so no traffick noise and plenty of parking space for our BMW 3 series. Mary is very attentive to her guests, in fact I don't think I have ever felt so well taken care of. And would not hesitate recommending this property to anyone wanting to visit Port Isaac. If I could give this cottage more stars I would, and will be keeping the details for this little gem for my future visit.

    So much so that the wet weather didn’t bother us a bit. Its right in the middle of port Issac but with parking and no traffic noise as on a small side road. The little garden up behind was great too for sitting out away from the courtyard. We always looked forward to coming home after a day out as we knew we’d be warm and super comfy. And that’s without the heating on. If there is one thing, ( and this is nit picking) a towel radiator in bathroom just to dry the towels would have been great. The owner clearly loves the place and the extra touches such as flowers and wine were much appreciated. All in all a great little find in a great place.

So homely , parking is a massive advantage as Port Isaac has limited space . PORT Issac itself is quaint but with so few pubs or restaurants you need to book places before you travel . The Old School House restaurant was a fantastic meal if a little piece. Plenty of places to visit within 10 miles . Tintangel,Wadebridge, Boscastle all with visiting . Just over the top of the hill is PORT Gaverne which has an amazing beach and 2 great pubs , and you get a free Tuk Tuk back up the hill in the evening. All in all a fantastic holiday .Mary is very responsive to all messages . No WIFI in the cottage if that suits you but you can get it in pubs .

    Everything was spotless, location excellent and parking such a bonus in Port Issac. Meals in village and Mary's recommendations were spot on, but you absolutely have to make reservations, don't rely on the pub as this does not open every day and sometimes stops serving food. The only minor thing for us was the bed was to firm, lumpy and creaked every time you got in and out or moved, so a new mattress is definitely needed.

A lovely "welcome pack" when we arrived after a long day's drive in traffic made our arrival so welcoming, and the many little touches, such as the basket of DVDs (very useful on wet afternoons!) meant we would stay here again in a flash, and would recommend the Keep Pot to everyone. Yes the mobile signal and lack of WiFi could be inconvenient, but I can confirm that, as in the "Fisherman's Friends" film, there is great reception at the end of the sea wall!

    I cannot fault the facilities and the attention to detail. It is far better equipped than other more expensive cottages we have stayed in over the years.

  • "The cottage was very well fitted out, with everything to self cater, even down to a pizza cutter."

    Great care had been taken to help guests work the TV, Satellite tuner, DVD player, kitchen and bathroom equipment and the storage radiators. There were boxes of games, jigsaws, recent DVDs and some music CDs etc for relaxation. Pots of flowers welcomed us to the property and there was also a private garden area behind the property, though other than an initial exploration, it wasn't warm enough to enjoy that. It was clear that the owner wanted everything to go well for the holiday, with information on local walks, maps and leaflets for sight-seeing. Port Isaac is a charming unspoilt fishing village, and much as I remember from my first visit 60 years ago, even with the 'Doc Martin' connection of recent years.

  • "We were thrilled to find the Keep Pot at Port Isaac beautifully decorated with little touches all around, making it so comfortable to come back to each day."

    The owner had thought of everything, eg torch, pen & paper, and had left full instructions for working everything. Moreover, she was kindly in touch with us at any time - and has even send us a parcel with a few things we had inadvertently left behind. We can't remember a better cottage we have ever stayed in.

The property

The Keep Pot is a 19th century, end of terrace, former fisherman's cottage set into the hillside overlooking the picturesque fishing village of Port Isaac.

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

From the first floor windows, there are glimpses of the sea, which are echoed inside in the Keep Pot's blue and white decor.

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.

The Keep Pot is the perfect spot to simply lock up the car and enjoy all that this enchanting village has to offer on foot.

The Coast Path is a mere 75 yards away and the nearby narrow streets lead you down through the village with its many pubs, cafes and shops to the fishing harbour below.

Port Isaac; one of the true Cornish treasures. A beautiful fishing village nestling in a steep sided valley, the old village in the valley remains unchanged from its days of fishing, slate export and smuggling in the previous century. An abundance of small character properties complemented by larger cliff-top retreats, can be found with easy access to the numerous restaurants and shops of the village. The sandy harbour provides an abundance of rock pools as the tide retreats. Only ten minutes drive from the beaches of Polzeath, Daymer and Rock, it is perfect for romantic and family holidays alike.
