Relax and spoil yourself in Port Isaac
The perfect location for holidays in North Cornwall - we are right next to the harbour in this lovely fishing village. All rooms en-suite, tastefully decorated with either harbour/sea/cliff views.

PORT ISAAC IS 'PORT WENN'
home of the mini series DOC MARTIN. Shot on location showing many clips of the Old School Hotel & Restaurant being recreated as the Village School. New series currently being filmed in Port Isaac.
COME AND TRY OUR STUNNING SEAFOOD RESTAURANT

On arriving at the 'Old School' Hotel, tired and tense, open your car door and you are immediately assailed by the smell of the sea and the call of the gulls. Your holiday has begun… Receive a warm welcome from Louise and her staff and you'll then be shown to your room, whether it be a charming single, or a spacious suite, most enjoy a sea or cliff view. Each room has a unique style from the traditional to the more contemporary. Decorated in delicate yellows, vibrant blues or warm earthy terracotta's the rooms are comfortable and well equipped.

After settling in, why not stretch your legs with a walk. It could be a ten minute potter around the unspoilt village taking in the working harbour, the pottery housed in the old Methodist chapel or the simple joy of feeling the sand between your toes on the beach! For those twenty-minute walkers, amble round to the quaint and quiet Port Gaverne and for the truly hardy, the two hour hike to Port Quinn offers some breath-taking views.

On your return, why not indulge in a hot, frothy cappuccino sat on the benches overlooking the harbour. As evening approaches, the delicious aroma of fresh produce being prepared by Jake our Head Chef, begins to filter into the restaurant. Join us in the bar for a pre-dinner drink, then relax on the sofas in front of the fire to deliberate over the menu - why not try our house speciality: King prawns, mussels, clams, shell-on prawns & langoustines cooked in white wine, garlic, parsley, mild chilli & lemon juice - deliciously decadent!

The restaurant itself exhibits work by local artists using a variety of mediums from the fabric prints to the recycled 'bottle' wine glasses. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, lit with tiny lights and candles with the strains of Billy Holiday and B.B. King tinkling in the background. All palates are catered for, for whilst being a predominately seafood restaurant, we also offer at least two vegetarian options and meat choices for our carnivorous (fished out!) diners.

The wine list offers good value with a bottle of House Dry White at £13. End your evening with a cappuccino, espresso or night cap then collapse into bed and the pleasures of crisp, white cotton linen.

Choice of breakfast menu to include Full English served until 9.30 am so enjoy a 'lie-in'.

As day two unfurls, Port Isaac weaves its unforgettable web of leisurely charm and minutes stretch to hours.
