So I'm going to be in Scotland (Stirling) in September, October, November and December and as a HUGE fan of Doc Martin I'd love to go see Port Isaac. I was searching for nearby hostels and airports/train stations but was running a bit out of luck. It seems the closest hostel to PI is in Newquay which Google maps say is a good 45 min. drive. I won't have a car so I'm wondering how can I get from Stirling to Port Isaac the cheapest (and in a timely manner) and then get a cheap lodging? Do you suggest staying in Newquay and going to PI for the day and coming back? Is there a train station near Port Isaac or a bus system? I'm from the States so I have no idea :P Any help is really appreciated.. Created by Anonymous. travel-en - united-kingdom-en - other-united-kingdom-en

Newquay is in Cornwall, about 900 miles away from Stirling. That's near where Port Isaac is. You can fly from Scotland to there cheaply and easily, then stay in a B&B or hotel in Newquay and catch the bus to the village. If you want though, I'd recommend hiring a car in Newquay and travelling around Cornwall, it is a truly beautiful area.
