Gulval is a village in the former Penwith district of Cornwall. Although historically a parish in its own right, Gulval was incorporated into the parishes of Penzance, Madron and Ludgvan in 1934, and like Heamoor, is now considered to be a suburb of Penzance. Gulval, however, still maintains its sense of charm and parts of the village church date back to the 12th century. Other features in the village include the 1910 granite drinking fountain in the centre of the square. A charming collection of Victorian houses and cottages are also dotted around what was the village square. Why not wander into the centre of Penzance, appreciated for its abundance of palm trees and gardens full of sub-tropical plants, a sure sign that you have arrived somewhere unique. Also people can visit the surfing beaches of Sennen Cove, Porthcurno. Placed of interedt would also be Minack Theatre, St Michaels mount, Poldark country, Mousehile etc making great days out to enjoy

Really clean on arrival. Quite spacious compared to other shepherd huts that we have stayed in. Seating area is comfortable and the little fire was perfect for November. The bed was comfortable and bathroom was a good size. Kitchen was well equipped and had a proper oven/grill and hobs. The listing doesn't state a toaster, but one was supplied. Outside seating with a lovely view of the sea in the distance. Cannot fault our stay at all. The owners were on call if necessary, but it was nice to be left to our own devices. Lovely area that was perfect for all the touristy attractions.

Unfortunately the weather wasnât brilliant all week, but thatâs the only negative. The shepherds hut is perfect in every way. The bed is super comfortable. Great size shower. Easy to use cooking facilities & lovely to have some fresh milk, tea & coffee on arrival, also cider & traditional Cornish fairings. Loved the fresh flowers & pumpkin decorations. John & Haidee are lovely people who will gladly help out with any situation that might arise during your stay. Thank you for all your help.
