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! ##### James S.

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. ##### Rebecca H. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Narthana S. 9 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Narthana S.

The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. A beautiful, rarely visited beach can be reached on foot in a few minutes. It is an ideal place to explore the south coast of Cornwall. ##### Frank H.

Die Ferienwohnung ist sehr gemütlich und super ausgestattet und die Lage einfach traumhaft. Es sind nur ca. 5 Minuten zu Fuß bis zu den Klippen und dem South-West-Coast-Path. Man kann herrlich wandern und es gibt sehr viel zu entdecken. Ein sehr schöner Strand ist ganz in der Nähe und zu Fuß erreichbar. Die Wohnung liegt absolut ruhig und Trudi und Ted sind sehr herzliche Gastgeber, die viele Tipps für Ausflüge und Wanderungen hatten. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit, wir können die Ferienwohnung uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. ##### Harald D.

Trudi and Ted are very friendly and helpful, like a second Family, Mum and Dad. The Silence in this Area is magic and healthful. The Area around is lovely and you can see so much special things. In the Village there is an Fish & Chips Restaurant, oh my god is this yummie. The Time is running to fast and we miss the Time in Trudi and Teds House, very much. Thank you for this fantastic time.
