The Crows Nest
cottage in Port Isaac
4-bedroom cottage on The Terrace in Port Isaac, sleeps 8, near the harbour and Fisherman's Friends Platt
The Crows Nest is a 4-bedroom cottage on The Terrace in Port Isaac, sleeping 8 with 5 bathrooms - an unusually high bathroom count for a property this size. It sits in the heart of Port Isaac, the working fishing village that doubles as the fictional Portwenn in ITV's Doc Martin, within easy walking distance of the harbour and the village's main restaurants.
The property has a garden, and the ground floor is practical for a larger group: wifi, parking, a dishwasher, and a washing machine are all included. A welcome pack is provided on arrival. No pets.
Port Gaverne Beach - a sheltered cove with calm water for swimming and rock pools at low tide - is about 200 metres away. The harbour, where boats still launch at low tide, is a similar distance. Nathan Outlaw's Michelin-starred restaurant and several fish-focused pubs are within a few minutes' walk. The Platt - where the Fisherman's Friends traditionally sing sea shanties - is at the foot of the village. The South West Coast Path heads west to Port Quin, about 2 miles along the cliff. Polzeath Beach, with surf and a surf school, is around 4 miles south by road.
**Best for:** groups of 6-8 wanting a central Port Isaac base with village restaurants and the coast path on the doorstep, and enough bathrooms to avoid morning queues. **Less good for:** dog owners (no pets), anyone needing step-free access, or those wanting a quiet, remote escape - Port Isaac is busy in summer.
