Meet the team

We pride ourselves on being a personal, family-run business. Our housekeepers/cleaners (all locals, from Delabole just a couple of miles away) have a long history of working for my family. Our handyman lives on site and can deal with any problems as they arise. Not only do they do a superb job, but they all take a great pride in their work.  

We're all very friendly and welcoming, and are always more than happy to help guests out, in any way we can.   

Meet the Owners - Pip & Mike

 

I grew up in Port Gaverne, in the local pub, The Port Gaverne Hotel, and became involved in the business in 2002.  I've spent the intervening years rejuvenating the cottages and Tregudda apartments to the 4 Star Gold rating that they are today. Lots of hard work - but thoroughly enjoyable. 

 Although I now live just over an hour away on the edge of Dartmoor, I like to spend at least one day a week in Port Gaverne.

 Mike, my husband,  a practicing Chartered Surveyor, is Devonian through and through and grew up on Dartmoor (so I’m afraid to say he puts his clotted cream on his cream tea the wrong way round)  – but he does venture over the border to Cornwall now and again.

We spent many holidays in Port Gaverne with our 3 children, when they were growing up, who all loved swimming & generally playing about on the beach.  Although they're busy doing their own thing these days, they love to get down when they can, and are keen to help out and get involved (especially with Social Media)!

 

A potted history

The Green Door Cottages began life in the 18th Century when the Guy family settled in Port Gaverne and built 4 large fish cellars for the processing of pilchards.

 Originally called Venus, Rashleigh, Union & Liberty (hence the name of two of our cottages), the fish cellar called Venus was converted into holiday accommodation at the beginning of the 20th Century and named the Green Door Cottages.

 Thus began the long tradition of welcoming holiday visitors – and this still carries on to the present day! The Green Door (as it’s called locally) has been owned by my family for over 30 years.

 Tregudda, in its stunning setting overlooking Port Isaac bay and Port Gaverne, was built as a private home at the beginning of the 20th Century.  

 Tregudda was our family home, staff accommodation and an annexe to the Port Gaverne Hotel, until it was converted into self-catering accommodation in the 1990’s.

 

We look forward to welcoming you!

We get a huge amount of pleasure from welcoming new, and seeing regular, guests many of whom return year after year - with their children, grand-children and even great grand children - to enjoy the cottages and the area. We are always on hand to help to make sure your stay is an enjoyable one.

Views from the bay window are really amazing even on a rainy day

We stayed in upper tregudda , the apartment is truly well equipped with everything you will need to make your stay go smoothly. The views from the bay window in the lounge area are really amazing even on a rainy day you can sit back and enjoy the beautiful bay. The grass area outside the apartments are a real bonus . The decked balcony that goes across the front of the apartment is a lovely spot to sit and have breakfast or a drink at the end of the day where you can watch the beautiful sunset. We will definitely be going back next year.
