Port Gaverne Hotel

The accommodation provides a varied, quality breakfast, high cleanliness standards, and a stunning location with beautiful scenery and dining options. The rooms offer modern decor, big pillows, and sea views.

Learning that the Port Gaverne Hotel had recently become part of our favourite St Austell Brewery inns and hotels group, we looked forward to visiting it for the first time. We booked for a short midweek break and were very pleased with what we found. The inn is situated in a small cove just north of nearby Port Isaac, which can reached on foot, if you don't mind a fairly steep climb up the hill to get there. It is, as you might expect, an old building but has been recently refurbished and is an atmospheric and peaceful place to stay, ideal for walkers and those who just want to chill out in a quiet location. There are tables and chairs outside, making it a pleasant place to sit in the sun with a drink and something to eat, whilst watching the world go by. Inside is a bar and restaurant area and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Because of the age of the buildiing the staircases to the bedroom accommodation are steep but were worth the climb to our comfortable room which was warm, clean and well presented, with a view of the sea, just steps away from the hotel. A really nice touch was the provision of beach robes - very handy for a pre-breakfast dip! There are breakfast, daytime and evening menues which are varied, if perhaps a little formulaic. The food was delicious and well cooked at competetive prices. We ate in throughout our stay and very much enjoyed everything that we had to eat. In summary, we had a wonderful stay, made even better by the staff that we met who were, without exception, cheerful, friendly and helpful. We would particularly like to thank Pou who, from the moment that we srrived welcomed us warmly and made us feel very special, always going the extra mile for everybody. She is a great ambassador, not only for the Port Gaverne Hotel but for the whole St Austell breweries group. We will look forward to our next visit and, in the meantime, will not hesitate to recommend this hotel to others planning a trip to Cornwall.

Such a lovely stay again! The room was small but comfortable and had everything we needed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a couple of maintenance issues (broken door lock and some drainage issues in bathroom) but they were addressed quickly. The food (dinner and breakfast was excellent) is lovely and the location is perfect. I love being able to pop out to the harbour with my tea in the morning! Thanks PGH.
