My wife and I were staying in the Port Gaverne hotel just outside town with a couple of friends and the owner and staff were consistently rude and brusque. Later they managed to give our friends food poisoning and rather than being sympathetic, insisted they be turfed out of their rooms at 9am, while I drove to Port Isaac to try to source some Imodium, not helped by the locals who were as offish as the hotel staff were. This was in the late 90s, so maybe the hotel has changed hands since. Or hopefully been demolished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is but try getting any work done in the place this time of year! I pretty much refuse to visit unless the customer can do before 7am! See also Looe, Polperro, Fowey, Polruan, Padstow, Cawsand, Kingsand and many others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they turned left instead of right they`d enjoy it so much more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent my childhood holidays in various chalets across the cliffs at Whitsand Bay, my parents were offered one in the late 70's for £150, that's on the market now for £500k Also difficult to understand that part of Kingsand and Cawsand used to be in Devon, they don't like being reminded of that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) Was in Crantock the other week on the beach and lunch outside in the Bowgie Inn (or Bogie Inn as my son calls it). Lovely. Edited August 9, 2022 by Super Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some `original` ones still left in places like Freathy and Downderry that look like they were built with pallets and corrugated iron! Most have been upgraded now and are holiday homes/lets - there are still a few year-round residents though if you know where to look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely. The Bowgie Inn, the stuff of legends in the late 80's early 90's with it's club. Great memories of Friday nights in the club there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
