We were expecting a typical UK b & b - tiny, minimal space et cetera. We were pleasantly surprised at the space. Alright, we had the attic room and we were continually ducking and twisting our heads to avoid celing beams, but we thought it added to the character of the place.

Room 11 should be cheaper

Great location, staff really friendly. Room really clean. However, we stayed in room 11 right at the very top of the building and it was cramped. For the room rate at the end of sept it seemed a bit expensive as far as we were concerned. That said, we had a quick look in one of the other rooms and they seemed much more spacious. Would go again, but would refuse room 11 next time.

We loved our 2 night stay - staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We stayed in the front terrace room and even though directly above the outdoor seating for the restaurant we had no problem with noise we actually kept our French doors open all night so we could hear the surf. Suggest you stay at least 2 full days in Port Isaac - it’s a different village when the tourists leave in the late afternoon. The shop keepers are so friendly- the ice cream at the “pharmacy” is yummy. Purchased a really nice hoodie sweater at a local shop (good quality, not tourist souvenir). Bottom line - we’ll be back

Slipway is Fantastic !!!

The Slipway is the only place to stay in Pt Isaac!! You are literally "on the beach", and in the middle of everything this charming village offers.Add to this that the staff is incredible !! The meals, especially the breakfast are fantastic. If you stay anyplace else in Pt Isaac, you are doing yourself a misservice.

Very relaxing stay.

It was unclear from hotel.com description that these rooms are above a pub although this was not a problem as apart from the early morning seagulls the room was very quiet. We were in room 11 which was lovely with its own sitting area, only problem was the low door which at 5’ 7 and 5’ 11 heights we kept hitting our heads on. The breakfast was excellent with a great choice of dishes and served by very friendly staff.Port Isaac is a beautiful villiage and these rooms are right in the centre of it.

Overall Very Good Holiday

Excellent food at all times, particularly the deluxe seafood platter (nearly too much even for me!) and a good choice of breakfasts. Staff very helpful and friendly and great view from room overlooking harbour. What could be improved? I thought £180 per night for a B & B was a bit steep, is this the Doc Martin effect, and I would have preferred a larger and more comfortable double bed but that's being very picky.

Great place but make sure it's what you can enjoy.

Great place and aera, food and service were great, but the hotel and the area is unsuitable for people will a walking disability. The parking area is at the top of the village up a steep long hill.

We had a lovely weekend. The staff were friendly and helpful. We booked into room 5 which overlooked the slipway and harbour. The room was clean, bed comfortable and room service was carried out each day. The breakfast was excellent and a Gluten Free options were available for my wife. Lunch and Dinner is available if required. Being the off season, the bar and restaurant closed early on the Sunday. Due to the location being surrounded by hills/cliffs, we were unable to receive a mobile phone signal at the Hotel. Did not bother us that much but others may be disappointed. There were plenty of local walks and Padstow is well worth a visit. Parking is in a public car park about a 10 minute walk away up the hill. We preferred to take the cliff top walk to it which was a bit easier. Cost of parking was £2.70 for a 24 Hour period. All in all it was well worth the visit.
