    I liked everything!

    The Slipway is right where you want to be if you are exploring Doc Martin locations! Walk out the door, and the first property is right there. This place is so picturesque. You can't imagine how great the Slipway is! We had a delicious every morning, and we loved relaxing on our balcony looking over the harbor. How could it be any better.

    What a joy to stay in this village in such a beautiful bed and breakfast. We had a room with a balcony and a view of the slipway. The room was very comfortable, the staff very friendly and considerate and the breakfast excellent.

    Getting charged for wine that we weren’t given. Also, no parking was a bit of a hassle.

    Most expensive night of our 8 nights in Devon/Cornwall probably owing to the popularity of Port Isaac

    Lovely bedroom with adjoining sitting room. Beautifully decorated with spotless bathroom. Tasty breakfast and helpful, friendly staff. Characterful listed building in very central location.

    The only thing was that the bathroom was incredibly small. We appreciate that the building is historic and old and having an ensuite put in must have been difficult. But we regularly got scalded by the radiator when we bent over! We didn't mind the small bedroom as we got used to manoeuvring around the bed and we really enjoyed the beautiful views from the balcony. But we scored 10 out of 10 despite the size of the bathroom as everything else was exceptional. Thank you very much for a lovely stay.

    The location of the hotel was phenomenonal: being on the platt where the action was. We had a beautiful room with a balcony. The service was excellent. Steve checked us in and always had a friendly Hello for us. We saw him work very hard throughout the days we were there. The breakfast we had was delicious and in an unique and very bright room.

    It is a beautiful quirky hotel in an excellent location. The staff are fantastic and the breakfast is delicious. The veggie sausages are superb, and I'm not usually a veggie substitute fan. They are like bubble and squeak in sausage form. If you are a Doc Martin fan, you are right in the thick of it here. It's a traditional old Cornish building, so not designed for someone over 6ft, so be careful. But it's a great hotel and the staff are lovely. Ebony in particular was very helpful and has great taste in music. Plenty of good places nearby, The Golden Lion and Black are both well worth a visit. Just bring some sturdy boots, as it's nice and hilly around there. Highly recommend a stay at the Slipway.

    This is a great little hotel right in the heart of Port Isaac. We stayed so that we could have dinner at Fish Kitchen nearby. The staff were excellent and extremely accommodating when I wanted to switch rooms. We didn't eat at the hotel but the food, as we passed through, looked fantastic.
