The hotel was good but the room we has was 2 flights up with 2 very heavy fire doors. It was very hot with only a small window to a flat roof that didn't open more than 3 inches. No phone in room to communicate with reception.
Nothing in the immediate area outside the hotel other than a 10 minute? very steep hill to port isaac. There was nowhere to sit and relax out of the heat other than the bar.

From the moment we arrived we were made very welcome to Port Gaverne.
Our room was very comfortable with great facilities
The bar was a lovely place to wind away a few hours, with a great variety of drinks on offer.
The breakfast menu was full of great choices to start the day’s adventures around Cornwall and the restaurant had lots of great food to choose from, especially the Sunday roast.
The staff were as friendly,helpful, welcoming and made our stay one to remember.
We hope to go back sometime soon.

Excellent hotel in a superb location - food was great - we had pretty much everything off the menu over our week long stay here. (Don't miss Pie and a Pint night on Mondays!) Staff were lovely and very helpful. Parking is a challenge and whilst we always found a space (just!) there is only 8 spaces for a 15 room hotel and we often found non residents (beach goers and dog walkers etc.) using the hotel car park so what space the hotel does control needs to be 'policed' better!

We had an enjoyable 5-night stay at the Port Gaverne Hotel. The service was excellent and the food was very good. We enjoyed the variety of offerings at breakfast and the Sunday Roast. This is not \"pub food.\"

This is an old hotel and be advised that the rooms are small and up steep stairs, although the staff helped with luggage. We were there during a heat wave and there is no air conditioning, which is typically not needed. The bed was comfortable and the bedding lovely.

The location is beautiful and a short walk up the hill to Port Isaac.

Stay here!!!! This pub and inn is amazing. Great friendly staff, awesome rooms and great location to trails and port Isaac. If you’re American like me and afraid of driving down to the inn, no worries there is a car park at the top of the hill that is easy to park in and walk down a steep hill to the inn. Parking is a fee but not expensive. Pub food was great! Overall super happy with my stay (:

We arrived at the hotel on foot while walking the South West Coast Path and couldn’t have asked for a better stop along the way. After a long day on the trail, we received a really friendly welcome and immediately felt at home. The room had everything we needed for a comfortable and restful night and we both slept incredibly well listening to the sea nearby.

One of the highlights was an early morning swim in the sea before breakfast. The perfect way to start another day on the coast path. We then enjoyed one of the most wonderful breakfasts of our trip.

A peaceful, welcoming place in a beautiful location and exactly what you hope to find when travelling the coast path on foot. We’d happily stay again.

Lovely historic hotel in an absolutely stunning coastal setting. Close to walks and the village of Port Isaac. You must like hills. The views are breathtaking. The hotel is part of an excellent local restaurant and a well-loved and cozy pub. We found the staff very friendly and helpful from start to finish. Breakfasts were opulent, and the quality of the food at night equally high. The building's historic character means that tall people should watch their heads on occasion, and the rooms are not always large, but they do try to provide an excellent bathroom and some electrical outlets. This is not a place for people who expect faceless modern conveniences. But if you like lovely casement windows and a warm atmosphere, definitely the tops.

I was told there was no hotel parking, only street spaces or in Port Isaac—a ten-minute walk away. Luckily, we parked nearby, but later found there was poorly signposted hotel parking with just eight spaces. Better communication would have helped. Parking in Port Isaac is pay and display, up a steep hill, so dropping off luggage first is wise.

Reception was small and busy; we waited several minutes to be checked in, though the staff member was pleasant. Our room was spacious and well arranged, but lacked a separate shower. The bath had high sides, making access awkward, and heating was unreliable—often not working despite staff resets. Housekeeping was poor: only one cleaner for fifteen rooms. Our room was never properly cleaned, with towels unchanged after three nights until we requested replacements. The bed wasn’t remade, and daily cleaning was lacking.

Breakfast was the highlight, served by a caring staff member who remembered our preferences and was both prompt and friendly. Breakfast quality varied.

Apart from the breakfast staff, attention to detail was missing. Dining in the restaurant without a reservation felt inconvenient for staff, though tables were available. The food was acceptable but overpriced; the mussels were overcooked and portions small.

Generally, other staff were rushed and unhelpful, making us feel in the way. The team seemed to prioritise restaurant and bar guests over hotel residents.

We won't be staying again, and wouldn't recommend it.

The room was clean and decorated beautifully, the bedding and pillows were so cosy and soft and much needed on a cold evening! Staff were all friendly, polite and helpful. Had dinner which was worth every penny and a generous portion, and the same for breakfast. It’s a steep walk up to Port Isaac but not as bad as it looks, if you turn right at the car park at the top of the hill you can walk along a path with great views that leads to a nice ice cream shop. Lovely touch of dry robes in the bedroom cupboard to be used if needed, we were very lucky with the weather so didn’t need them but would’ve been handy if a bit cold and wet!

Absolutely nothing wrong with the Hotel. Brilliant . 5 Star.
Unfortunately, Hotels. Com only charged for one person to have breakfast during our stay, so as soon as we arrived i had to pay a further £42 for my wife's 3 breakdasts.
I alco had already paid About £45 in taxes and Fees to Hotels.Com, which i would have not incurred if i had booked directly with the hotel.
So lesson learnt. About £90 out of pocket due to Hotels.com more than required. However as i said the Hotel was terrific .

We were in town mainly to visit nearby Port Isaac (because we loved the Doc Martin series). If you don't mind the steep hill, you can walk from one town to the other in about 15 minutes, and the Port Gaverne hotel was relatively affordable. We had a good dinner and breakfast in the restaurant, and the staff was friendly. The only thing we'd mention is that we were on the top floor, which had nice views but is up an extremely narrow and steep staircase. So if you couldn't make that climb, be sure to ask for a room on a lower floor.
