Ocean Blue Port Isaac

Ocean Blue is a three-bedroom stone cottage on a working farm outside Port Isaac, sleeping six across one king-size room and two twins, with two bathrooms. One bedroom and a wet-room-style shower room sit on the ground floor, though guests who need step-free access should confirm the layout with the provider.

Granite worktops feature in the kitchen, which includes a dishwasher and washing machine. WiFi, parking, a garden and barbecue are also included, and dogs are welcome. Host Anna manages the booking. There is no hot tub, pool or wood burner here.

The farm sits a few miles inland of the harbour village made famous as the filming location for Doc Martin, so this is a rural base rather than an in-village stay. Port Gaverne Beach is 1.5 miles away, a sheltered sandy cove at low tide reached in about 10 minutes on foot from the village. Polzeath Beach is 3.9 miles from the cottage for surf, and Daymer Bay is 4.2 miles.

Five reviews give the cottage a 4.6 out of 5 rating, with comfort and location both scoring 4.8 and cleanliness 4.6.

**Best for:** a family or group of six wanting three proper bedrooms, farm surroundings, a ground-floor room and dog space.

**Less good for:** guests needing full step-free access throughout, sea views from the property, or a walk-in position in Port Isaac itself.
