positive:
Beautiful setting in a Cornish fishing village.
Port Gaverne is situated in a stunning location, close to the coast in a traditional fishing village and surrounded by unspoilt countryside. Stroll the tall cliffs either side of the village, or wander the beach and cool off in the ocean.
positive:
Excellent seafood served in the restaurant.
Being a hotel in a fishing village, the restaurant serves some absolutely delicious sea food dishes, including fresh crab sandwiches, plump lobsters and mackerel straight from the local fishermen.

Dogs are welcome to join you.
If you like to travel with a canine companion then you’re in luck, because your dog will be welcomed here. The surrounding countryside is perfect terrain for walking your dog too.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Pretty expensive for the facilities on offer.
The hotel is listed as a three star hotel, but the room rates here are pretty high for the standard of hotel you’re paying for. Also, there are no facilities like a gym or pool, just a lounge which is open to the public anyway.
negative:
Car parking facilities are a bit of a mess.
While free car parking is provided here it’s actually quite a way from the hotel, meaning you’ll have to walk a way with your luggage. If that wasn’t bad enough, the restaurant and bar attracts quite a crowd during the afternoon and evenings, so you might even struggle to find a parking spot when arriving in the evening.
negative:
Not a great place for the less able-bodied.
With no lift to substitute the stairs, cramped attic rooms and an off premises car park, Port Gaverne is not a great hotel if you are suffering from an injury or are less able-bodied.
