About this property
An attractive bungalow attached to another holiday property which sits at the rear of this cottage, on a quiet residential road in Cornwall's attractive Gorran Haven. This lovely cottage in Cornwall is just a ten minutes' walk from the centre of the village, which is a real delight of the stunning Roseland Peninsula, with its beautiful beach. Ideal for couples or families looking to enjoy a break near the beach or exploring the stunning South West Coast Path, the cottage is certain to appeal all year round. There is a kitchen and a separate living room with a dining area, a large Plasma TV offering Sky sports, movies, and children's channels, and a sofa bed.
There is also two comfortable bedrooms and a bathroom with both a bathtub and a separate shower cubicle, meaning the property may be suitable for less mobile guests. Outside is a shared front garden with a private sitting area, and within easy walking distance is the centre of the village with its two pubs, local shops and small, pretty beach where you can enjoy a quick evening stroll before tucking into the traditional seaside fare of fish and chips. An easy five minute walk from the cottage, let the kids tear around the children's playground or have a kick about on the football pitch.
There are also tennis courts that you can set up family tournaments on, on sunny afternoons! Close to Gorran Haven are the secluded sandy beaches of Vault and Hemmick, and of course, the pretty harbour village of Mevagissey where it is a joy to simply sit and gaze at the fishing boats and the picturesque, colourful cottages lining the cliffside. There are many attractions to keep you amused, including the Eden Project, the beautiful Lost Gardens of Heligan, or why not take a ferry from St Mawes to Fowey, with its charming winding streets hiding unusual shops and restaurants? A quietly-placed cottage, close to the spectacular coastline of the Roseland Peninsula, with plenty of pretty beaches and interesting attractions to discover nearby.
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 Cornwall’s most dramatic headlands, and the cause of many a shipwreck.

I didnât realise we were attached to the owners house which made us very conscious of any noise we made. Also there wasnât an enclosed garden to allow my dog to run around freely. Wi-Fi on the tv was very slow and I couldnât figure out how to get live TV. It may be useful if we were told that they kindly supplied milk and then it wouldnât have gone to waste. Really enjoyed our stay though but it didnât feel like a holiday home or cottage.
