About Green Door Cottages
Meet The Team
We pride ourselves on being a personal, family-run business. My family have been in Port Gaverne since the late 1960’s. Now in our third generation, Green Door Cottages is owned and run by myself (Pip), my husband (Mike) and our eldest son (Will), who is in Port Gaverne on most days. One of us is generally on hand to help make sure your stay is an enjoyable one.
Our housekeepers are all local and have a long history of working for our family. Not only do they do a superb job, but they all take a great pride in their work.
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.

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!
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 and was converted into self-catering accommodation in the 1990’s
