Independent hotel advisor Simon Stevens Associates in conjunction with Charles Darrow acted on behalf of David & Jackie Barnard (owners) negotiating the sale of the renowned Stargazy Inn, Port Isaac to celebrity chef Nathan Outlaw and his wife Rachel. David and Jackie will continue to operate their successful Port Gaverne Hotel and Pilchards on the Beach. This unique setting within Port Isaac, is also home to the popular TV series “Doc Martin” which has become a
much sought-after destination in its own right. With increased demand from tourist, Cornwall has benefitted enormously from a high volume of visitors throughout the year that is set to continue in 2022 and beyond.
The property benefits from spectacular sea and coastal views, comprising 9 luxury bedrooms and an award winning restaurant. We understand Nathan and Rachel plan to refurbish the accommodation, as an exclusive venue as an addition to their well-established restaurant business.
Exciting times ahead for the Stargazy Inn, so keep an eye out for more details from Nathan Outlaw that will follow soon. The property was sold off a guide price quoting £1.85m freehold Simon Stevens & Jon Clyne, who acted for the owners commented, “We were instructed to run a confidential marketing campaign. Nathan confirmed his interest in the Stargazy Inn that would be a perfect opportunity, given his expanding business profile. With competitive interest, terms were agreed quickly with Nathan and Rachel who plan to reposition the business. Further information will follow over the coming months. We wish Nathan and Rachel continued success in their new venture”.
David and Jackie owner of Stargazy Inn comments “We wish Nathan and Rachel who have been our friends and neighbours for the last seven years the greatest success with Stargazy Inn. Our thanks go out to Simon Stevens for once again being the best and most helpful man in the business”. Nathan comments “Rachel and I are over the moon to get the keys to such a lovely property. Over the last 7 years I’ve been gazing at the property from our restaurant Outlaw’s New Road, just a stone’s throw away, dreaming that one day we could get our hands on this property and now we have the keys. We are so excited to have brought such a great place and can’t wait to get going with Outlaw’s Guesthouse”.
