My husband and I came all the way from NZ primarily on business but took out a couple of nights to stay at Port Gaverne. We love Doc Martin, hence the reason for coming to this part of Cornwall. In NZ we don't have lovely old buildings like this and we LOVED staying in this historical old hotel / pub... More

Four of us (two couples) stayed for four nights and were sorry to leave. This old hotel is in a wonderful location, almost on the beach. The bar had a real fire, great beers for our husbands and a wonderful atmosphere. It was full of locals and guests plus numerous dogs, including one with us. The staff were very friendly... More

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). Our... More

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

Great food and dog friendly. Very cosy and good atmosphere quirky surroundings all rounded off with some great ales. Well worth a visit ! Will go back when we come down again and would recommend to friends

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

known this hotel for at least 30 years and chose it for my 50th birthday at the end of January 2013. Although quiet at that time of year, our room was fab - balcony overlooking the sea, wonderful duvet (want one - where do you buy these?) Food as usual great, Graham and staff excellent, locals very friendly and we... More
