Our destination was Port Isaac (of Doc Martin fame), but we wound up staying around the point in Port Gaverne at this lovely place. Lots of character, a quite good restaurant, and stunning walk along the coastal trail behind the place (cave-like features and arches along the coast, benches for resting to take in the view, lovely spongy grass).

We have recently stayed at the Port Gaverne Hotel and absolutely loved it. It is in a wonderful quiet location with the beach just 50 yards from the front door. It is a very old quaint property with the bedrooms dotted all over the place. It is actually two properties with the pub in one side and the restaurant in... More

Well...... what a kind and honest review. We are so pleased that you had a wonderful time with us and that you enjoyed your stay. It is quite beautiful down here at the moment, perhaps the best time of year - a bit more sunshine would just make it perfect. Do please come and visit us again soon. More

What a great find this was! We had looked at hotels in Port Isaac and been disappointed with what was offered but this was perfect. Very traditional and charming, and our room was gorgeous, contemporary and with its own little private courtyard. The room was lovely and warm and everything looked brand new, fabulous. Dinner was like the rest of... More

Charming old hotel. Very helpful owner and staff. Very good dinner and breakfast. Wonderful location near 'Doc Martin' country, without staying in the busier Port Isaac but a short drive next day to see "Port Wenn". Lovely scenery right at the beach. Rooms nicely appointed. No shower curtain so not flooding the bathroom floor is a challenge. Lots of stairs... More

A wonderful weekend was spent at this hotel. We were going down to meet up with old friends and chose Port Gaverne because it was so close to the sea and Doc.Martin ;-) You really could not get any closer to the sea., it was perfect. OUr beautifully decorated room had a balcony which looked out straight over the cove... More

With a 30 yard walk to the beach this is ideal for us dog lovers ,dogs are welcome in the pub and Green Doors Cottages.In fact if you go there on a Sunday lunch (fantastic there are more dogs than customers.The staff are great with good sense of humor the hotel is only 10 min.walk from Doc Martins Port Isaac

Lovely rambling old hotel , with upmarket rooms just starting to look slightly tatty and in need of a further freshening up. Our room was huge, with a big bathroom with underfloor heating, built in wardrobe and patio doors opening onto a rooftop terrace area. There was no wi-fi in the hotel though, which was unusual. The bar areas are cozy... More

This hotel is situated at the bottom of a ravine (if your over 60)! or in a cove if you're a walker, a quarter mile from Port Issac, the home of TV series "Doc Martin". A beautiful location with a real local pub that still attracts local characters that will talk to you and pass the time. There is EXCELLENT... More
