Historically Port Isaac was home to a pilchard fishing fleet, and although fishermen still land their catch, the village is now more well known as the setting for the TV series Doc Martin starring Martin Clunes, and home of the Fisherman's Friends shanty singers. With narrow winding streets, lined with whitewashed cottages overlooking a small harbour, Port Isaac is a truly picturesque village. Set amidst rugged and magnificent coastal scenery, the area surrounding the harbour was declared a Conservation Area in 1971, preserving it from modern development and protecting the 90 or so listed buildings. The Beach House, which is not listed, is situated towards the end of a no-through lane, in a quiet setting, with no passing traffic. The views of
the adjoining coastline and sea beyond are simply spectacular, and nearby is direct access to the South West Coast Path, as it runs through the village and continues the length of North Cornwall's rugged Atlantic coastline. The village has a Co-op convenience store, a GP surgery, a primary school and a RNLI lifeboat station, and a wonderful range of eateries, cafés and pubs,
most notably, Restaurant Nathan Outlaw, which holds a Michelin star. The market town of Wadebridge is home to the Royal Cornwall Showground and is about 8 miles distant. The town offers an eclectic mix of independent shops, pubs, restaurants,
galleries and boutiques, and is central for cycling the Camel Trail between Padstow and Bodmin.
