“This is an excellent property, well maintained, well loved and spotlesslessly clean, up a short but not too strenuous walk from the village (literally only a few yards), has it’s own parking space right outside the door, a fantastic plus in Port Isaac.”
The Keep Pot has everything you need for a great holiday for two, and Port Isaac is a wonderful location, especially if you are a Doc Martin or Fishermen’s Friends fan which were filmed in the village. We quickly discovered a really good Co-op (has a sea view on the way back!) within walking distance but further up a steep hill on the main road, but it has a carpark if you prefer to drive up or need a lot of shopping. Everything in Port Isaac village is easily walkable, including several excellent restaurants and great pubs, we enjoyed many of them such The Golden Lion, The Old School House, The Mote and also The Angry Anchovy up on New Road which serves great pizza. There are also several fine dining restaurants, Nathan Outlaw’s up on New Road and his Fish restaurant opposite the Platt, but as we were (supposedly) self catering we also bought great shellfish and crab opposite The Slipway to eat back at The Keep Pot, paired with fabulous artisan bread from nearby bread shop and a lovely bottle of wine left by the very thoughtful owner. If you’re lucky enough to be at The Keep Pot in summer, a short walk onto the coastal path along the harbour around 9.30 pm (sunset while we were there) will reward you with one of the loveluest sunsets ever. Loved it here, can’t wait to go back.
