Brilliant stay at Fern Cottage. Such a beautiful village and couldn’t dream of staying anywhere other than Doc Martin’s surgery for our first visit here. A great surprise for my partners birthday too! Cottage was clean and comfortable, we had no issues at all, check in process smooth as well with excellent communication with all info sent beforehand! A big thank you!

Doc Martin cottage

We had a wonderful, comfortable stay at Fern Cottage. As Doc Martin fans, we enjoyed seeing Port Isaac. Watching the tide go in and out was a show in itself and we got a kick out of watching people smile as they walked by the cottage, usually stopping to take photos.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Totally Unique

When you stay in a place that has become a Mecca for millions of fans you sort of share the glow of fame. At the same time you have to accept what comes along with that. If you'd find it irritating to have a constant flow of people outside taking photos and chatting maybe you should ponder the idea. It didn't bother us and in fact we enjoyed interacting with some of the fans we encountered. The views are spectacular. It's fully equipped. If you're coming by taxi I recommend you ask them if they will deliver you to the door or drop you off at the bottom of the hill.

Staying in this house was one of the highlights of our 3-week trip to the UK! We are Doc Martin nerds and just couldn't believe we were staying in the "surgery." Of course, only the exterior was used for the television show. The house was clean and well-equipped (with coffee pods, not just tea). The bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds. Check-in was very easy with a combination lockbox. Be prepared for Doc Martin fans to take pictures right outside the windows. We even had a fan try to enter the front door! A big surprise was the NARROW lane that leads through town and up to the house. At the base of the hill that leads up to the house, we literally had three inches on either side of our car and the adjacent buildings. And, parking is on the little slab of stone that looks like a porch in front of the house. It takes a driver with skill and precision to park there. We parked there once and walked everywhere from there. The coastal path is stunning. Don't miss this walk. We also thoroughly enjoyed the local pubs - though we're tourists, we love mixing with the locals.

Do it for the view!

Our motivation for staying here was to have that iconic view and just have that "feel good" that the Doc Martin series provides. It really was surreal to stay in "the surgery". Due to the expense, it will be a "once and done" experience for us, although we'd like to return to Port Isaac and stay elsewhere. The layout of the cottage makes excellent use of the available space and the interior decorating is lovely. We enjoyed views of the harbor from every living space. The garden gives an even better perspective. You must rent with the understanding that there will be a constant stream of visitors who walk by, chat, and take pictures of the house, and they may not always stay off the terrace. Although we didn't cook dinners, there were plenty of pots and pans and dishes to do so. We put the microwave, electric kettle, fridge, and toaster to good use. The heated towel rack was unexpected, and we were happy to be able to do laundry. The house is centrally located, and a small car can be parked out front. Be careful of stinging nettles when loosing the chain across the terrace. Also, the lockbox is on the back side of the house. The front door locks by turning the handle up and then using the key/lock mechanism. The heaters have individual controls. Shirley was responsive to all of our questions and concerns and made the stay easy. I can fully recommend Shirley and Fern Cottage.

We had such a wonderful few days at Fern Cottage! The stunning views from all the rooms, especially our bedroom, were a delight to wake up to each morning. The place is charmingly decorated with lovely decor and furnishings and everything felt very clean. We did notice quite a few visitors eager to take pictures, but we didn’t mind at all! We even spent cozy evenings re-watching old episodes of Doc Martin on the CD player, which made our stay feel extra special. Check-in was easy and communications beforehand were excellent, as were responses to a couple of questions we had while we were there. All round fabulous.
