Beautiful

The cottage is everything the listing claims. The location was perfect for us - close to the sea, and great access to the coastal path. The village is charming and in early September delightfully quiet - compared to eg Mevagissey. I appreciated the personal touch and attentiveness of our hosts - thank you !

Beautiful cottage in amazing location

A beautiful beach is just a 2 min walk away. It is dog friendly, our dog loved it. A fish and chip shop. A couple of shops selling Cornish ice creams. Right next to the coastal path also 5min drive from lost gardens of Heligan. Can’t recommend this place enough. A truly relaxing holiday.

So tranquil

Little Gwyn is the epitome to tranquillity, after dropping our bags, we used the village car park, just a short stroll away, the resulting quiet enables the gentle breath of the sea to be a constant restful background accompaniment to the harbour view and marine air. The accommodation has everything we could wish for, we love this place. Thank you

Great location.

Little Gwynn is a lovely cottage with a good position midway up Gorran Haven's hillside location. There are views of the harbour and bay from all the front-facing windows, and from the front garden. The cottage is comfortable and clean with most things that you would need for a lovely holiday, however if you want to do much cooking then maybe bring some of your own pans, the ones supplied are pretty terrible, all with compromised non-stick surfaces, that really should have been thrown away a while ago. I am guessing that most people don't want to be cooking on holiday though, so this wouldn't be an issue. There are a nice selection of books and games and dvd's on the shelves, and some local information. Little Gwynn is ideal for exploring on the South West Coastal path, and there are several great beaches for swimming within a few minutes walk.

A comfortable and cosy cottage in a quiet location

One could not criticize the facilities, cleanliness or support from the owner of Little Gwyn. The house is attractively decorated and the furnishings were of a good standard. The views of the harbour and sea from the lounge and principal bedroom are truly lovely. The house is equipped with everything we needed and we enjoyed a comfortable week with no problems. Two of us and our dog had plenty of space but the property might be crowded if there were five people trying to use the two sofas and small single bathroom. The only drawback is that there is no adjacent parking space -which we knew in advance - although one can load and unload outside the property. However the car park is down in the village and, though it may only be 5 minutes down the hill, it was considerably more than that for us walking back uphill to the cottage. This was an inconvenience rather than a problem, but could be an issue for people with mobility difficulties or more mature dogs like ours. The village itself was very pleasant and we do not recall many places with such friendly and helpful residents. Everyone we met was happy to chat and offer advice on where to walk, shop or visit. All in all we had a lovely, relaxing holiday, being fortunate with the weather which was largely warm an bright, and we thank Michael and Rebecca for their assistance, support and advice.

Einer unserer schönsten Urlaube

Wir verbrachten 2 herrliche Wochen im Cottage „Little Gwyn“ in Gorran Haven. Das Cottage war wunderbar und ist jederzeit zu empfehlen, der Ausblick von der Terrasse ist wirklich schön.Es gab wirklich nichts zu beanstanden. Auch als Ausgangsbasis zu anderen Zielen in Cornwall liegt Gorran Haven günstig. Und besonders nett war unser Kontakt mit unseren Gastgebern Rebecca und Michael. Wir wurden immer auf dem neuesten Stand gehalten und bekamen sehr viele Tipps zum Thema Ausflugsziele, Essen gehen, Einkaufen usw. Dafür nochmals vielen herzlichen Dank an die Zwei. Ein wirklich gelungener Urlaub in Cornwall und es wird nicht unser letzter sein. Thomas und Simone

Lovely cottage in a lovely location - near the beach

My husband and I spent a lovely week in coastguard cottage with Billy our dog. It's a gorgeous cottage, very cosy and with everything you need. It was spotless, and had a clean modern feel, but maintained the quirky old cottage feel. Fab location, (you get used to going up and down the hill!) but it's worth the walk up as you get a gorgeous view of the sea, which you can see from the patio and some of the downstairs area. We enjoyed sitting on the patio with a pasty, or cream tea! You can see the sunrise from the (v.comfy) bed in main bedroom Weather was superb, we had Little Perhaven beach to ourselves some days-swimming and paddleboarding! There are lovely walks direct from the house - to Mevagissey and Hemmick beach in the other direction, If you want to do more, then there are things to do in surrounding towns etc, but we stayed local. We recommend the Haven Chippy, had a lovely fish and chips, salt and pepper squid and 'Haven Stack' burger! We had a fab Sunday lunch at The Crown in St Ewe. It's a short 12 min drive, but the food was delicious and we went twice more during the week. They welcome dogs too :-) Also visit Cakebreads, such friendly people and interesting place! If you haven't watched the film "About Time' do so, and take a walk to Vault Beach as that is where the beach scenes were filmed! It's already a fav film of ours and so fab to watch again when we were there. All in all a lovely week. Would highly recommend! Thanks Michael and Rebecca.

A wonderful stay in an excellent property.

We have just returned today from our stay at Little Gwyn in Gorran Haven. What a fabulous holiday we had. The village was the gorgeous, peaceful retreat that we wanted, though within easy reach of little towns like Mevagissey as well as larger places like St. Austell. We were able to reach Land's End and St. Ives for a day trip somewhere a little further afield, and had easy access to the coastal path for some walks with stunning views. The property we stayed in was perfect with plenty of information being sent to us in advance so we knew exactly what to expect. The cottage was spacious, comfortable and very well stocked with all you would need in terms of kitchen equipment, bedding and towels and there are plenty of games, books and the SkyQ television should you have a day where the weather is poor or you just need a rest from all the walking. There was nothing to fault including communication with the owners if we needed them. Thank you so much for a fantastic stay and for making our holiday just perfect.

Fabulous Cottage

We had such a nice stay at this wonderful cottage. Very close to the beach and all amenities of Goran Haven. We were greeted with a lovely bottle of wine. The cottage was so homely and comfortable. I would highly recommend a stay here. This was a very special break for us as we have not been able to take a break from our caring duties for 3 years Thank you for making this stay so relaxing.

Just Wonderful!

Perfectly decorated cottage in lovely hidden gem of a harbour village. Everything we could have needed in the kitchen. The bed is incredibly comfortable with a view of the sea and harbour wall. Located a couple of minutes walk from the Fish & Ship restaurant (which is excellent) and the staff there and in the Post Office/Shop are extremely friendly. Also recommend the Sunday lunch at the local Barley Sheaf pub (just a short drive away) The car park is a 5 minute walk away (some of it up hill) - but it added to my step count :-) and you can pull up outside the cottage to load/unload the car. The road was very quiet - more walkers that vehicles! The weather wasn't our friend during our stay, but the cottage was warm and cosy, and there was plenty of exploring to do. Michael and Rebecca are very responsive to questions and queries - extremely helpful with hints and tips for the local area too. Would love to return in better weather to make use of the outside spaces, patio with sea view to the front and rear garden too! Highly Recommend

Beautifully refurbished, very comfortable beds, excellent shower. Great restaurants in Mevagissey - try the Sharksfin - and super fish and chips at the Haven in Gorran Haven. We also recommend the Teacup Tearoom in Mevagissey.
