Providence Cottage, 45 Fore Street, Port Isaac, Cornwall PL29 3RE – open in Google Maps. Port Isaac’s streets are very narrow; the cottage is reached by a narrow lane beside the coast path.
Port Isaac has been welcoming visitors for more than 100 years, but unlike many villages in Cornwall it still retains its traditional character and remains unspoilt. Its narrow winding streets lead down to the harbour, where fishing boats still work from the sheltered cove.
The South West Coast Path passes right in front of the cottage and through the village, with spectacular walks along dramatic cliffs and panoramic views across the Atlantic. There are plenty of well-signed inland walks too. Nearby beaches include Port Gaverne, Polzeath and Daymer Bay, for swimming, surfing, rock pooling and relaxing beside the sea.
Within a few miles there are opportunities for sailing, surfing, horse riding, cycling on the Camel Trail, several golf courses and beautiful wide sandy beaches. The popular seaside towns of Padstow, Rock, Wadebridge and Polzeath are all within easy driving distance, while Tintagel Castle, Boscastle, Bodmin Moor and the Eden Project make excellent days out.
Food lovers will find plenty to enjoy, from Cornish pasties and fresh local seafood to good restaurants and welcoming village pubs. Port Isaac is well known as the setting for the television series Doc Martin, and is home to the Fisherman’s Friends sea shanty singers.
