After unloading, return to public car park approx. 300 yds going back up hill to your right. There is parking at the side of the house for a small car, but it is quite a tight squeeze and manoeuvring safely is difficult. It is also compromised weekly when enough space is required to get 4 wheelie bins past a parked car.
There are low banisters at the property.
There are large gaps between banister spindles.
Suitable for up to 1 pet

Another fabulous stay at the Gables. The owner has tried to provide everything you might need for a self-catering holiday. The downstairs shower room is excellent. The location couldn’t be better. Gorran Haven still provides a lovely community experience.

We had an amazing time. The location is second to none Gorran Haven is a traditional seaside harbour and to be able to be so close is a privilege Coastal path is within yards. If you're into sea fishing ideal and across the way is a fish and chip shop plus ...Beds so comfy and cleanliness second to noneRecommend The Ship inn at Mevagissey if you park short at Portmellon you can avoid parking charges and walk innPolgooth inn is great food and you will come away with a takeaway boxObviously depends on the holiday you want but for us it ticked the box
