About this property
Gorran Haven 1.5 miles. Perfectly located for family beach holidays with a choice of three within walking distance, this charming character cottage is located only a half a mile along the adjoining footpath to the pretty fishing village of Gorran Haven, 3.5 miles from Mevagissey. All the family will immediately feel at home on entering this characterful cottage. Passing through the enclosed front garden you enter onto the first floor. There are three bedrooms offering a double, a double zip-link bedroom and a single all on the first floor along with the bathroom. On the ground floor are the cosy sitting room with open fire for the cooler evenings and the kitchen/diner with the feature being the warming AGA. A separate entrance from the shared courtyard garden provides direct access to the ground floor making it ideal for dog walkers. Gorran Haven is an unspoilt fishing village nestled around a secluded cove which remains much the same as in years gone by. The two sandy beaches here offer some of the safest swimming in Cornwall as well as giving you the opportunity to try kayaking with kayaks being available to hire. With dogs allowed on the beach (on leads between Easter and September, subject to bylaws) this really is the perfect family beach. After a day on the beach a small selection of cafés, restaurants, a pub and a renowned fish and chip shop offer a great choice of refreshments before wandering back to the cottage. A great location for family holidays all year round.
Once a crab fishing village, Gorran Haven on the south coast of Cornwall is ideally placed to explore the many beaches and coves in the area. Gorran Haven has a small sandy beach, connecting with the longer Great Perhaver beach at low tide. Much of the coastline in this area is owned by the National Trust, including the 370 feet high Dodman Point, rising above Gorran, which is thought to be one of Cornwalls most dramatic headlands, and the cause of many a shipwreck.

! Plenty of attractions within reasonable travelling distance. The cottage is among other holiday accommodation but also others which with permanent residents which gave it a nice feel. Typical narrow Cornish lanes - grateful adjoining camping and caravan site wasn't open! Kitchen lovely and warm with Aga stove permanently on, storage heaters less effective elsewhere. Even so, thoroughly recommend No. 4!

We were a bit apprehensive about the Aga soon got the hang of it and really liked it.The only problem we had was keeping our dog in the kitchen at night as there is no gate to the stairs but a kitchen chair across the bottom of the stairs fixed this.Our 9 year old granddaughter loved her room and the books and games.The weather was rough paths very muddy and some roads flooded and impassable but we had a great week.

Would recomend especially for walkers. Aga cooker kept the temperature just right. Sitting room comfort for afternoon resting and evening relaxing. Home from home really quickly. Maybe caution with under age 5 children. Staircase means one would have to keep an eye on them. If you are seeking a cosy backwater retreat, Great. The local shop and chippy are reasonably close obliging, welcoming and cater well. A refreshing, relaxing break and pretty ideal for touring from.
