The property was beautifully laid out and a lot larger than we expected. The beds were really comfortable and the living spaces were well laid out, practical and comfortable. The hosts,, Trudi and Ted,, were wonderfully friendly, helpful and made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. The cottage garden to the front with a bench and seating was an absolute joy to sit in - a relaxing view filled with flowers, bees and birdsong. In the village there is small shop,, fish and chip bar plus a cafe. Locally - Mevagissey is just a few minutes away by car, Large supermarkets in St Austell, stunning coastal walks right in front of the cottage, a small sandy beach in the village. In Gorran theres a really nice pub - the Barley Sheaf which serves food. If you love sandy beaches there a larger beach at Pentewan Sands - with the Ship Inn serving great food. The lost Gardens af Heligan is on the doorstep plus Caerhays Castle and Gardens and its beach and beach cafe. Further afield is Fowey, Truro, and St Mawes - all withing a half hour drive. The weather was great even though the forecast said otherwise and we had a terrific week in Cornwall made extra special by the house and hosts.

Beautiful accommodation. Very clean, comfortable and spacious. Loved the location, very peaceful, surrounded by nature (we saw deer from the lounge window at night!), and has a stunning garden too. Only 5mins walk into Gorran Haven; great fish and chip shop next to the beach. Trudi and Ted were friendly and lovely people. Great base for the SW coast path. We want to stay again, but for longer next time.

Relaxing Cornish Break

We had a fantastic stay. The location was excellent, a few minutes walk to either Gorran Haven or Vault Beach, close to the village centre yet tucked away from the hustle and bustle and with a rare parking space right outside the property. The house is set in a really beautiful, peaceful, flower-filled garden. The house itself felt friendly, was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. In the morning the sun filters into the master bedroom giving a real feeling of holiday relaxation. The owners were lovely, helpful and even shared some of their garden produce with us. All in all an idylic stay. We look forward to returning on our next Cornish adventure.

Wonderful Cottage

A beautiful cottage, so very comfy and spotlessly clean and welcoming. Truro and Ted are the perfect hosts. Excellent base for travelling around. Less then 2min walk to cliff-tops and breath-taking-views. So peaceful and calm. First visit, and have already booked second visit forn next summer. See you soon.

Wedding stay

What a beautiful place to be for our wedding weekend. I've walked past this gorgeous home a lot over the last 11 years, and have dreamed of staying there. And this was the perfect opportunity. Lots of space and light, with a fabulously romantic feel. Perfect for the pre wedding fish and chip supper gathering of our nearest and dearest, delightful for me and my bridesmaid to be pampered in, and exactly what we needed to wind down in after our weekend of celebrations in the village. Trudi and Ted were incredible hosts, who were very accepting of the coming and going on the day of the wedding. Spotlessly clean and warm, this flat os a real treat. The hill is a steep climb from everywhere in the village, but that's Gorran Haven! It's a village that keeps you fit! Thank you, Trudi and Ted, for hosting a beautiful home from home.

Perfect location, lovely cottage, delightful hosts

We had the loveliest break in Gorran Haven. The cottage is clean and comfortable and we felt right at home. It's in the perfect location - near enough to everything for convenience but far enough away to feel quiet and secluded. Trudi was a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome. We will be back!

Amazing flat and location

We loved the flat and the associated cottage garden. All amenities were as described in the listing, neat and precise. Location is perfect. This flat is right on the coastal walk path and 2 mins to vault beach. So it was perfect for a relaxing holiday. Mevagissy (the nearest town) was very near with lots of eating options although Gorran Haven itself had many good eating options. We loved the setting and relaxing nature of the place. We were lucky to catch a drama rehearsal and their performance as well. Hosts live below the flat and Trudi and Ted were very friendly and helpful. We couldn't reach on the time we expected, but Ted was around to welcome us and we met Trudi next day. They made us feel at home and included in the community while we were there. Totally recommend this place for holiday. Especially if you have little kids who like sandy beach and would prefer a "private beach" setting to relax in.
