Fresh Daily
We are proud to bring you the freshest flavours of Cornwall, with seafood sourced straight from our local waters. Most of our fish comes from the renowned George Cleave Fish Merchant in Port Isaac — ensuring every dish is as fresh, local, and delicious as it gets.
Historic
In the heart of the historic fishing village, overlooking Port Isaac harbour, stands The Slipway dating back to 1527.
In the past The Slipway has been a smugglers hideaway and a ships chandlery.
Shortly after World War II the building was converted into a seaside guest house and hotel. In 1969, due to its architectural and historic importance, the building was Grade II listed by the National Trust.
Popular
In its current form, The Slipway has an amazing covered outdoor terrace overlooking the port and two floors indoors serving casual lunches and more formal dinners.
Upstairs, you’ll find seven quirky double bedrooms, each with a modern en-suite bathroom.
The village became a popular filming location, and since the 80’s has served as backdrop to various film and television productions.
It is also home to the group Fisherman’s Friends, who are a world famous sea-shanty group.
These are the tide times for Port Isaac.

Testimonials
Happy Customers
“Highly recommend for a stay in Port Issac. Warm, historic and charming with modern amenities. We stayed in room 11 and didn’t want to leave! Beautiful view overlooking the harbor from sitting area and bed was really comfy with lots of space to put our things. Wish we stayed longer than the 2 nights we booked. Staff were all great – including in the restaurant.”

“Had a superb full Cornish breakfast here. There was A LOT of excellent food. My only negatives are that the plate wasn’t quite big enough and that perhaps bench seating isn’t entirely suitable for breakfast. Will definitely be returning next time I’m in Port Isaac.”
