The Lobster Pot, a charming cottage located in the picturesque fishing village of Port Isaac, Cornwall, offers a delightful retreat for up to four guests. Originally established in the 1940s as a lobster pot store for local fishermen, this property underwent significant transformation in the 1970s to become a living space and was fully refurbished in 2019. The cottage features modern amenities and is nestled in a conservation area just a short stroll from the harbor, making it an ideal base for exploring the beautiful surroundings.
Accommodating four people, The Lobster Pot has two well-appointed bedrooms and includes private parking for one large car or two smaller vehicles. Guests can enjoy a private south-facing garden that provides a glimpse of the sea, enhancing the overall experience of this coastal getaway. The location is particularly appealing, as Port Isaac, also known as Portwen from the television series Doc Martin, is renowned for its scenic views and vibrant community atmosphere.
Port Isaac is not only steeped in charm but also offers a variety of amenities, including quaint coffee shops, cafes, pubs, and restaurants. For those seeking fine dining, two Michelin-starred restaurants run by chef Nathan Outlaw are conveniently located nearby. Additionally, visitors can experience local culture with live performances by the band Fishermen’s Friends at the harbor during summer evenings and explore the local fish market situated on The Platt, adjacent to the lifeboat station.
For those looking to explore further, the surrounding areas boast attractions such as the stunning beaches of Polzeath, known for its surfing opportunities, and the popular holiday destination of Rock, which offers a passenger ferry to Padstow. Families can enjoy nearby attractions like Camel Creek Adventure Park and Retallack Water Sports, while nature enthusiasts might partake in game walks and birdwatching in the region. It is important to note that bed linen and towels are not included in the rental, but can be arranged for an additional fee, ensuring a comfortable stay for all guests.
