Summary of reviews related to the 'Historic' category
If you're a history buff, the Port Gaverne Hotel is an absolute must-visit. The hotel is housed in a beautiful old pub that pays homage to its history with carefully themed decor that includes multiple photos of the building in earlier periods. Dating back to the 16th century, this hotel is full of character and old world charm, featuring authentic antiques, brass and flint flag stone floors and a traditional feel about the pub.
But don't let the age of the building scare you off - while some guests noted that the narrow steep staircases may be a challenge for those with mobility issues, visiting for a meal or drink is still highly recommended. Plus with its stunning location and historic character, you won't want to miss the chance to experience this unique property. And if you're a fan of the hit show "Doc Martin," you'll be excited to know that it was filmed here.
While some reviews mention that the hotel suffers from poor historic extensions, most guests rave about the beautifully renovated old inn and the personal and comfortable rooms. So if you're looking for a hotel with a sense of history and character, the Port Gaverne Hotel is the perfect place for you.
