Lots on offer for eating so plenty of choice. Service good. Portions too large for us - bit Desperate Dan, so lots wasted. Food good quality, but frozen mixed veg which let one meal down. Overall would recommend as plenty of space, good service and tasty food for all family.

August 2023


Had lunch here on off chance and went back again. Food was exceptional as well as extremely large portions though maybe a bit too much!

September 2021


Food was excellent - apart from serving us Hollandaise sauce instead of custard on the desert. We did laugh about it after and of course were not charged for it - however, they could have offered us a drink to compensate for their mistake. The waitresses were very polite.

August 2021


The sunday carvery was excellent.lots of choice and plentiful.Make sure you book!

July 2021


We always visit this inn every year when in the area. This was only the 2nd visit to a pub in the evening since March and we thought it was very well organised, hopefully we will be back next May without the plastic screens.

Tregardock Beach
(6 miles)

Best known as a surf beach, Tregardock Beach is only accessible by footpath, which offers beautiful views of the water and Port Isaac as you head down.  It is quite a stroll and the terrain is bumpy, so it’s not an ideal beach to visit with children.  The path can also get quite muddy, so keep an eye on the weather.  There’s a seasonal ban on dogs from Easter to September, and there aren’t any facilities in the immediate vicinity of the beach.  When the tide goes out, several small beaches become one long stretch of sand, and there’s a waterfall cascading down the cliffs at the back of the beach as well as caves to explore, so it really is a little paradise hidden in the landscape.  Because it’s not easy to access, it’s usually quiet at this beach, but parking along the roadside near the farm at Treligga is very limited, so it’s a good idea to head over as early as possible and make sure you don’t get cut off at high tide.

Port Gaverne
(7 miles)

(3)

A sheltered beach on the north Cornwall coast, Port Gaverne Beach is in a narrow cove just east of Port Isaac.  It’s comprised of sand and shingle with lots of rock pools to explore at low tide.  In the summer months it can get quite busy given the popularity of the location and its suitability for families.  Surrounding walks along the cliff path are delightful and at high tide the beach is favoured by divers.  There’s also a slipway and it’s sometimes used to launch boats because of the easy access from the road.  Thanks to it proximity to Port Isaac half a mile away facilities and restaurants are nearby, and the beach welcomes dogs all year round.  You can also park in the village although there is limited road parking by the beach itself.

Lovely little cove and nice walk to headland. Water activities available.

June 2023


beautiful and great fish and chips !

October 2021


Excellent place to run the dog at sunset. Good walk on teh headland too. Could park right next to the beach.

September 2019


Port Isaac Beach
(7 miles)

(2)

Since the arrival of Doc Martin on the small screen, Port Isaac has soared in popularity, and the pretty little village with the historic harbour, which also serves as the beach, has become instantly recognisable.  Still an active fishing village with crab pots scattered about, the sand stretches between twin piers at low tide and has a small stream and lots of rock pools to explore, so it’s ideal for children.  Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round, and as it’s at the centre of the village there’s easy access to shops and all facilities including public toilets.  The car park for the town is a 10-minute walk away, and while there are a couple of parking spaces on the beach itself, just make sure you park above the high water mark, or keep an eagle eye on the tide!

Lovely setting worth a look,dog friendly.

July 2022


Worth a visit, about half a mile walk from the car park, the return journey is quite steep but there is a shuttle taxi for those less able to manage the walk. Beautiful little harbour beach and of course doc Martin’s surgery. We ate in the hotel beer garden, food and drink was nice and reasonable priced.

September 2021


Trebarwith Strand
(7 miles)

(6)

Two miles from Tintagel, Trebarwith Strand Beach on the north Coast of Cornwall is easily accessible and is owned by the National Trust.  A long stretch of sand, it’s backed by flat rocks and steep cliffs, but check the tides before you visit because people often get cut off in the summer months.  Once there, there are caves to explore and rock pools containing a wealth of sea life.  It’s been the setting for a number of films in its time, but these days it’s all about swimming (when lifeguards are on duty between May and September) and exploring.  Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round, and there are two car parks – the main one is a bit of a walk away, and a smaller one is closer to the beach.  There’s also a handful of roadside parking spaces.

Great beach, you will need to check the tide times though The Port William is a good pub overlooking the beach with great views, there is also a small cafe

September 2023


Beautiful rocky cove at the where you arrive. You have to come close to low tide to explore beyond.

April 2023


This is a fabulous beach with a nice cafe, a pub and shop and toilet facilities. You need a book of the tide times so that you can make the most of your visit here.

August 2022


Our favourite beach if you can work round the tide times!

August 2022


Beautiful clean beach, pleased that it is a dog friendly one.

July 2022


Another great place to run the dog when the tide is out. Took excellent photos here at sunset. Coast path walk from here to Tintagel is relatively easy going with great views.

September 2019


Port Quin
(9 miles)

(1)

A rocky beach in a narrow, sheltered cove, Port Quin Beach is close to Port Isaac, and is only accessible at low tide.  Its rugged landscape is beautiful to see, but its location means that it’s largely popular with seasoned walkers and those looking to go snorkeling and kayaking.  Unspoiled and peaceful, it reveals a treasure trove of rock pools when the tide is out, and the nearby village is largely deserted, having once had thriving fishing and mining industries.  Today both the cove and the village are owned by the National Trust and there is a car park courtesy of them in Port Quin.  Dogs are banned between Easter and October, and there aren’t any facilities nearby – it’s all about enjoying the peace and quiet.

Could park nearby and enjoyed a cream tea from the 'Salt Pig' van in the carpark. Paddled here and ran the dog one evening, and walked a bit more of the coast path.

September 2023

Amazing place to stay! There were 10 of us staying in total and there was still acres of room for everyone to do their own thing. House is very clean and the kitchen had loads of things like utensils, knives, forks, etc... Internet access was great and there's also a firestick for catch up TV. Will def be staying here again. P.s. Make sure you visit the village pub! Saturday night was "disco" night and we had a right laugh with the locals Diolch yn fawr, Kernow!

Have had a great week at Providence House. Very spacious and comfortable. Couldn’t have asked for anything more.


August 2022

Lovely accommodation and great facilities for a large party all the plates glasses etc. Good size rooms with lovely fittings. Having off road parking was much appreciated. There are some great walks but you do need to read in advance to find all the footpaths. Terrific views, we really have enjoyed staying in Providence House.


August 2022

We had the most wonderful stay! The accommodation provided a great base and had everything we could have possibly needed e.g clothes horse, ample cutlery. The downstairs has clearly been updated and it was truly beautiful. We all enjoyed our stay very much and want to thank the host and yourselves for such an easy, memorable time.


July 2022

What a truly special space. We have had the most wonderful two weeks here and it has felt like a home from home. Beautiful location, great base and looked forward to coming “home” every evening. Thank you for the lovely welcome touches I am sure that we will be back soon hopefully when this bump has turned into a baby.
