What is the history of the property?
Designed by John Foulston and originally built as one of a number of properties for naval admirals, it was later taken over by the Church of England as the vicarage for St. Andrews Church which is the mother church of Plymouth. The last vicar left in 1966 and the building was then converted to a hotel. It was purchased by the current family in 1984.

What was the era and/or the architectural style in which the property was built?
The property is early Victorian and so also has some style of the Georgian period.

Is the property surrounded by other historic buildings?
Number One is in a row of 6 villas in the same style, but the old part of town (The Barbican) is 5-10 minutes walk away around the harbour area.

Are there any elements of particular historical importance at the building?
Ornate cornices and archways on the ground floor. Decorative Lincrusta panels up the staircase and along the ground floor hallway which are over 100 years old.

Are there any significant events that took place at the property in the past?
As this was the vicarage at the time, when St Andrew's Church was bombed and unsafe for use during World War II, some services took place here.

Has the property received any certifications for its historical status?
Grade II Listed

Historic InnSummary of reviews related to the 'Historic' categoryIf 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.
