Doc Martin fans will not be disappointed!

If your a Doc Martin fan, and even if your not, the house, setting, and proximity to Port Isaac will not disappoint. Although the interior scenes were filmed elsewhere the interior is very warm and cozy and is very relaxing.Yes, you will have fans stopping and taking pictures. Some may even try to enter so key the doors locked.We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend it!

Lovely cottage and stunning views.

We loved the cottage. It was extremely clean and comfortable I especially appreciated the crisp bed linen! The views are stunning and we can highly recommend The Mote and The Old Schoolhouse restaurants in Port Isaac. Do expect a lot of tourists taking photos outside the cottage. And don’t forget to lock the door once inside as we had a couple of tourists take photos at the front door and then try the handle and open it!

Room with a view

Overall a lovely property. Comfortable beds. Stunning views from the bedroom windows. The hot water was dissapointing, only having enough for one shower and then a 30-60 minute wait. Shirley (owner) did say it was a new system and they were looking to upgrade it.

Dream ComeTrue

To stay in Fern Cottage was magic. We loved sitting on the landing upstairs and watching the harbour. It’s a lot more private up there. The passing tourists are annoying, especially when they come up the front steps and hang around, leaning on the dining room window.

Lovely cottage

We were so happy to rent Doc Martins cottage for 3 nights. It was worth driving the very narrow roads to get to Port Isaac. We were glad to have a parking spot. The cottage is close to restaurants and trails. Nespresso pods thoughtfully provided as most shops aren't open early for coffee. Chapel Cafe a few doors down is wonderful. Don't miss dinner at the Mote on the harbor.

Great stay doe a couple of Doc Martin fans!

Loved staying here... The views were simply spectacular. Familiarizing ourselves with many of the places that were familiar to us made Port Wenn come to life. The real world Port Isaac was charming as well. Loved the super local feel. The cottage was very well appointed and made our stay the best!

Beautiful place

The cottage is lovely and the village is amazing. . We parked in the New Road car park and walked to the cottage which was much better than trying to negotiate driving in Port Issac. The cottage was lovely and cosy and while there were people taking pictures outside I just kept the blinds closed and it was fine.

Perfect Honeymoon!

Absolutely beautiful property in a picture postcard village! Warm and comfortable, beautifully furnished and with views to die for. The Landlady couldn’t have been mote helpful with tips and suggestions to give us a perfect stay. Even when the weather (Storm Ciàran) hit! It was a perfect snug bolthole to watch the storm, drink tea and enjoy! Can’t fault it!

Great stay

Two adults and a 2.5 year old stayed 4 nights in October 2023. We loved it. The location is terrific and the home itself is lovely. It was very comfortable and warm/dry, which came in very handy for the chilly rainy evenings. Driving to the cottage wasn’t as difficult as we’d feared, though pretty tight in spots. We also enjoyed meeting folks coming to see the house and take photos because of Doc Martin. We met a lot of interesting and friendly folks this way.

What an amazing experience. We felt like a celebrity with paparazzi outside! Fantastic stay, beautiful cottage. We had a slight problem with the hot water and after contacting Shirley it was all sorted within half an hour. A great place for any Doc Martin fan or a base for a gorgeous Cornwall break with stunning views out of every window.

Had a lovely few days here. A couple of issues promptly sorted by Shirley. Lovely property with beautiful views of the harbour in a great position. Very warm with everything you need. Didn’t attempt the parking but did drive around to drop the luggage off and parked in the top car park about a five minute walk up a hill (can take a more scenic sea view route that is flatter but takes longer) although apart from the tight opening at the end of the street it wasn’t as bad as I feared - small car better Expect a lot of people taking photos outside but it wasn’t a problem and quite amusing Would stay again

Nice Stay for Doc Fans

Fun to actually stay in the building shown as Doc Martin's Surgery. But of course, the interior is not what is used for the actual filming. Fine accommodation for a brief stay. Owner appropriately warns that small car is needed for parking. Very, very tight parking space. Hot water is fine in the mornings, but quirky other times. Great spot for exploring Port Isaac. Comfortable beds.

What a view!

A treat to stay at Fern Cottage again. Everything was as I remember it from 2015. Our weather was on the chilly side and the heat only worked in the dining room. The trash was attacked by sea gulls - picked it up several times - needed more trash bags and an outside container to keep gulls away. The key box is not at the back door, but past the door and in the back of the cottage. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Great!

Of course, this place is a must if you are a Doc Martin fan. It is clean and well cared for. The only draw back for me is that it is very musty. Not sure what you can do about that. Maybe a dehumidifier? We were easily able to air it out by opening all the windows, but were fortunate enough to have great weather that made that possible. I recommend this place for sure unless you have asthma or other breathing issues or allergies.

Excellent!

The best location and view in the whole village! If you are a fan of Dr Martin, it is a must stay place. Some might find people taking pictures of the house overwhelming, but for us it was fun. Make sure you have no bigger car than small SUV, otherwise parking will be challenging. Nice touch was 9 seasons DVDs of Dr Martin series + some other movies taken in Port Isaac. It has everything for cooking, utensils, tea, coffee, etc. It is heated well during cold season, shower is hot, just need to learn how to manage it. You will not want to leave.

About the host

Hosted by Shirley Ungemuth

Why they chose this property

Pet friendly but please check with owner before booking

‘Fern Cottage’ occupies an incredible, highly-coveted, elevated setting overlooking Port
Isaac harbour, the village and out to sea. Every principal room takes full advantage of the truly gorgeous views across the historic and picturesque harbour. This is an exceedingly desirable and sought-after area of North Cornwall, with close proximity to such well-known villages as Rock, Trebetherick, Polzeath and also within easy reach of Boscastle and Tintagel.

What makes this property unique

Unique. location above the harbour of Port Isaac

Port Isaac is a truly wonderful ‘old’ village, which has remained unspoiled with the passage of time, with slate-roofed cottages lining the narrow lanes and alleyways which wind down the side of the steep valley to the harbour. Two noticeable features are Temple Bar – recorded as the narrowest thoroughfare in the world and known locally as ‘Squeeze Belly
Alley’ and the ‘Bird-Cage’ – so named because of its unusual shape; it was used at one
time as a cobblers’ shop and is now owned by the National Trust. There is a thriving
village community with shops, restaurants, school and doctors’ group practice and further facilities catering for everyday needs.
