Port Isaac is a harbour-side village full of Cornish character, and Hotel The Slipway hotel stands in the heart of it. There are ten en-suite guest rooms (including several suites), many with sea views and all with white cotton bed linen, fluffy bath towels, coffee and tea making facilities and local artwork on the walls.

One issue that may be a concern to some is accessibility. Port Isaac is, more or less, car-free so, while you can pull up outside to drop your luggage, the nearest parking is reportedly a 400 yard walk uphill.
