About this property

Little Gwyn. 3 min walk to Beach! Gorgeous views out to sea.

  • This 150 Year old coastguard cottage enjoys lovely sea, headland and harbour views. Situated right on the SW Coast Path, Little Gwyn is only a 3 minute walk away from two gorgeous beaches (Little Perhaver and Gorran Haven beach). Further beaches (including Vault beach, from the film “About Time”) are within easy walking distance along the SW Coast path.
    Accommodation is laid out over two floors, with gardens to the front and rear. The Cottage boasts a south facing front terrace and a lovely terrace and garden to the rear; perfect for drying wetsuits after a day on the beach. With three bedrooms; a double, twin and single, Little Gwyn sleeps up to 5 adults plus room for a travel cot so is the ideal holiday cottage for families or couples.
    A cosy, wood-beamed sitting room opens on to the front terrace, with stunning sea and headland views. The kitchen with dining area is equipped with all utensils and has a small utility area with washing machine and tumble drier. Books, Games, SKY Q television, WIFI and a Log Burner ensure that you can enjoy all home comforts during your stay.
    Gorran Haven is a picturesque fishing village, with narrow streets and cobbled lanes; quintessentially Cornish in every way! The village has a fish and chip shop, beach café and a fabulous local store (Cakebreads), with live music & pizza nights in the summer months. Cakebreads also has an outdoor pub - perfect for those long summer evenings.
    Mevagissey, a thriving harbour town, is only a few miles drive away, or a wonderfully scenic walk if you fancy, as are The Lost Gardens of Heligan. The world famous Eden Project is only 10 miles away and if you love surfing then the waves of Newquay can be reached in 45 minutes.
    Pet friendly. Vault beach (and others nearby) welcomes dogs at all times of the year; the local beach requires a lead during the summer months. Front and rear gardens are both private, with front garden enclosed on all sides.
    Like many other properties in the heart of the village, the cottage does not have parking. However, Gorran Haven does have a large car park with good value weekly rates (and only a pleasant 5 minute walk away, past the beach). Cars can be driven up to the property to drop off or pick up.
