This was my first foray into VRBO and as a senior traveler in another country I would have appreciated the hostess leaving more information at my fingertips.For example: where the fuse box is when we lost power, what switch to run when we lost hot water, that only a very small compact car could possibly be managed to fit in front of the house and that on top of the rental fee we would have to park 15 minutes away and pay ourselves, do not open the bedroom windows as they will open for you, refrigerator and dishwasher are under the kitchen sink cabinets, and due to this being a tourist attraction, to always keep the door locked when you are in the home as tourists try to get in after taking a photo at the front door!The hostess did return my texts when things went wrong and did send her maintenance man to help us. He was remarkably kind!The home is compact but beautiful, was on my places to stay list and was very glad I was able to at this age and stage.

8.0 / 10.0

So why not 5 stars? Well it is 5 stars! For us personally there are 2 issues that are not the Host or the Cottage's fault, but detracted from the overall stay. The tourists are relentless and there is almost a constant stream taking pictures and talking (families and groups etc) at the front door and window. This is not something we gave too much thought to before booking, but was constant throughout our stay. We should have been more prepared for it, as it is Doc Martins Cottage!Second, if you have a big car (which we do), getting up the lane and into the parking, which is in front of the Cottage, will be challenging! Especially in busy times, 9am to 5pm. There is a lot of foot traffic (people, dogs, kids, buggies etc). Not impossible, just challenging. As a result, you will also not be too keen to move around with a big car during your stay. A mid sized car is advised and will make your stay far more comfortable.Everything else is 5 stars!Great cottage and the little garden above!Great location! Views are incredible! Great stay! Will definitely be back, but in the off season and in a smaller car :)

We were able to stay in this beautiful cottage in the picturesque sea town of Port Issac. Cottage was clean and updated and famous of course. The drive is tough through town but worth it when you get to the property for the view. Rent a smaller car so you can make the turns on these narrow streets. Will stay again.

10.0 / 10.0

We loved it; the cottage is clean and fully equipped, ample parking for our small VW. Lovely view of the village and beautiful walks. The sunrise and sunsets are spectacular. The host provided everything we needed for a wonderful 3-day stay.

8.0 / 10.0

Overall a good stay was good but the hedge out front had grown and block our million dollar view so that was disappointing. The plumbing became a problem when the downstairs toilet overflowed and no solution was found in time to fix it. We stayed here a few years ago and while This house is cute and well situated its overpriced now for the quality it delivers .

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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!

10.0 / 10.0

We loved staying at Fern Cottage, met lots other Doc Martin fans. The cottage was so warm and comfortable,and the views were outstanding. It was great to wake up to waves and sea gulls each morning. Highly recommend the Golden Lion, great atmosphere and delicious food !

8.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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!

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

We had a wonderful time. The home was beautiful and cozy. The town was quaint and the people were wonderful to meet. We loved walking around and seen the sights Plus definitely a must stay location.

10.0 / 10.0

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

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

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!

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.

8.0 / 10.0

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.

8.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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!

10.0 / 10.0

Having been a Doc Martin fan for a while it was amazing to stay here.the cottage is lovely inside with everything you need.the views are stunning from every window. Just be prepared for the fans outside taking photos constantly.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

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.

The hosts were so helpful and kind. Little White Cottage is in a perfect location to visit different areas of the Cotswolds. There was a lovely private tennis court just outside the cottage, so bring your rackets and tennis balls if you like tennis. I would recommend a local pub called The Hare, which is just a few-minutes stroll away. I definitely would stay at Little White Cottage again!

6.0 / 10.0

We take full responsibility for our ignorance. We should have done more research, but we had no idea how much of a cult the "Doc Martin" programs were in the UK. There were hundreds of pilgrims filing by the house from 10 to 4 every day. Every couple had to take pictures of themselves in front of the house, and sometimes posed peering in the windows or trying to open the front door. Signs marking the property as private have no effect.The house is close to the road so one hears every conversation, especially the commentary from large tour groups. We found it oppressive; others may not. We ended up leaving a day early. To be fair, the house is charming and comfortably furnished. It is just as picturesquely sited as the pictures indicate. The house seemed not to be stocked with some basics (paper towels, sugar, laundry detergent), but perhaps expectations for holiday lets are different in the UK. The streets of Port Isaac are hair-raisingly narrow and crowded with summer visitors. (The route to the house and its parking place is particularly challenging.)If you can, pack lightly and walk from the car park outside town.

8.0 / 10.0

Traditional little cottage that has been thoughtfully renovated to include modern kitchen & bathroom. Wonderful harbour views, and walking distance to the centre of the village. We really appreciated the comfortable beds, quality linen, off-street parking, gorgeous views, and central heating that kept the cottage cosy warm. Oh ... and very fast Wifi! I learned that for my car, parking was best done by reversing in, and driving out. May not work for everyone! I only found out after we arrived that the action of much of Doc's story took place on a film set, but the outside is exactly as pictured. Thank you for a very memorable stay!

We had a wonderful time in Fern Cottage, Port Isacc (Dr Martin’s House). We would highly recommend it. An amazing place to stay.

Great property extremely clean and well kept. Superb location looking out over the sea and minutes into Port Issac or the beautiful cliff top walks. Highly recommend.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Fern Cottage. We arrived from London after dark and were a bit timid about driving our Vauxhaul wagon up the hill. Marcos, a local taxi driver, pulled up behind us and happily raced it up the hill where Doc Martin confronts the merciless teenage girls. After that, I had the confidence I could do it myself as well as backing onto the parking pad. The cottage was very nicely appointed and the views were great. The owner was very gracious and the locals were welcoming. The Mote restaurant at the bottom of the hill made room for us. We should have thought to make reservations before our trip. All should know that driving to and from this property is not for everyone. The streets are narrow and cars over 6 feet in width are rightly prohibited.

10.0 / 10.0

All was great however for us as we’re from from the US, it would have helped to have written information on how to work the heater and the electricity and the toilet sanitizer, (had a small flood)but thanks Shirley for sending you kind assistant to help. Never could figure out how to use the washer/dryer combination, we hand washed, or the stove top. But no worries we cooked our eggs in the oven. We would definitely return 😊

10.0 / 10.0

We arrived a bit late but had no problem finding the cottage nor checking in. Typical of the other properties in the area parking is tight and I wish that we had brought a smaller car. The one issue that we had was taken care of promptly and the communication response time with Shirley was amazingly quick. We look forward to our next trip to the area to explore more of the surrounding countryside

10.0 / 10.0

This is a great property, but the constant flow of tourists becomes a little overwhelming over time - if only it hadn't been made so famous by a particular doctor - but then again, that's why you're here, isn't it?
