Waves End

Situated within striking distance of Port Isaac’s picturesque harbour and amidst the hustle and bustle of the popular fishing village is this quaint, former fisherman’s cottage, Waves End. This charming holiday accommodation is the perfect base for families in pursuit of exploring this wonderful part of Cornwall and the fishing village, which doubled up at Port Wenn in the ITV television series Doc Martin, starring Martin Clunes.

Enter into the warmth of the pastel painted, stone-built cottage into the charming open-plan living room, which has retained a wealth of character to serve as a gentle reminder of its interesting past. The characterful Range cooker set in an exposed brick fireplace takes centre stage before the welcoming seating arrangement, which you can look forward to curing up upon after an action-packed day.

The kitchen boasts a range of quality appliances, including an electric oven and hob, a microwave and a quirky fridge, certain to entice a spot of home-cooking, and the handy washing machine, so that you can easily freshen up your clothes after a wonderful day at the beach. When sleep calls, head upstairs to find two light-filled bedrooms, comprising of a double bedroom and a bunk bedroom, both with sash windows, framing the pretty views of Port Isaac to wake up to each morning.

Immerse yourself in your surroundings further by taking a stroll through the charming fishing village, where you will be spoilt for choice by the selection of shops and pubs that awaits you. Be sure to make a stop off at the nearby Golden Lion to delight in a hearty evening meal, complemented by a pint of great ale or head to the famous Nicky B's, to sample a delicious Cornish pasty.

Explore the maze of narrow streets, home to the narrowest thoroughfares in Britain, named the Squeezy Belly Alley, before stopping of at the picturesque harbour, where fishing and scenic trips can be taken during the summer months. After enjoying the harbour side, start to climb up the Roscarrock Hill, forming the western edge of the harbour, where you will find a Methodist chapel, which is now the Port Isaac Pottery and Café, before you reach Fern Cottage, which was used as Doc Martins Surgery, in the popular TV series.
