Nestling in the beautiful, secluded cove of Port Gaverne, Green Door Cottages and Tregudda Self Catering Apartments, all rated 4* Gold by Visit England, offer a tranquil haven to enjoy your self-catering holiday in Cornwall.

Owned by the National Trust, Port Gaverne is a sheltered inlet on the North coast of Cornwall that has a small sandy beach at low tide, rock pools and caves, cliff walks with magnificent views and stunning sunsets.

We have a delightful collection of restored 18th Century Cornish buildings that were originally fishermen’s dwellings and now make eight attractive self contained holiday cottages positioned around a sunny courtyard garden, and just a stone’s throw from the beach.

We also have two lovely self-contained apartments in an elevated position, with fabulous views over Port Isaac Bay and Port Gaverne.
