The village was established in the early 14th century and still bears the heritage in its cobbled streets and granite and slate-fronted Cornish houses. The whitewash stone houses have important architectural value, along with a mile-long history.
One of the greatest attractions of this village is the local harbor. Here, along with the gorgeous views, you can watch the local fishermen bringing in fish and lobster. Village life here is also portrayed in the television series Doc Martin, Poldark, and Saving Grace, which have made Port Isaac even more attractive to travelers.
A stay in this town gives you a chance to enjoy the Cornwall countryside with its beautiful history. The village also has a range of accommodation options, and these top 11 Airbnb rentals are some of the best. Read on and choose your favorite!
