The Keep Pot

The Keep Pot is a one-bedroom cottage at 53 Fore Street, right in the heart of Port Isaac village, sleeping 2 with 1 bathroom. It holds a 10/10 rating from 152 reviews - one of the highest review counts among all properties on this site. The ground-floor layout is accessible, and there is a garden to the property.

The inside is compact but well equipped: dishwasher, washing machine, Wi-Fi, and parking are all included. Port Isaac's narrow streets and 14th-century harbour are immediately outside the door - Nathan Outlaw's Michelin-starred restaurant is a short walk, and the Fisherman's Friends sing sea shanties on the Platt most Friday evenings in summer.

Port Gaverne beach, a sheltered cove with calm water for swimming and rock pools at low tide, is 600 metres east on foot. The South West Coast Path west from the village leads to Port Quin, a largely abandoned hamlet with a secluded inlet around 1.9 miles along the cliff. Polzeath, one of north Cornwall's most popular surf beaches, is around 4 miles by road.

Best for: couples who want a village-centre base in one of north Cornwall's most atmospheric fishing ports, with a top-rated accessible ground floor and genuine character from the building's history. Less good for: guests who need more than 2 bedrooms, dog owners, or anyone who wants to avoid the narrow streets and summer crowds that come with a central Doc Martin filming location.
