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.
Beautiful cottage which has everything you need. Trudi and Ted are really kind and make the details of your stay very enjoyable. It's in a beautiful location and the perfect place.
We had a fantastic stay in this lovely Cornish farm house. The location is absolutely perfect, especially if you love walking the coast paths. Our hosts were really good and full of local knowledge. I would definitely book this again as it suited us perfectly.
This was a great find in lovely countryside and a good location. Has everything you need for your stay, very spacious and comfortable for 3 people.
The host is very communicative and very helpful for the stay and where to visit in local area.
We spent 1 lovely week in Cornwall in this well equipped and cozy house. 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.
Peaceful, brilliant very clean apartment well equiped
Highly recommended, lovely owners who are always there should you need them. Comfortable cosy and peaceful. The view of the sea and superb beach is just a very short walk from the property.
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!
Lovely property. 5 min walk to beach. Quiet location. Lovely private. The host's trudi & Ted are a really nice Helpful couple. Would definitely go back.
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.
Beautiful, homely flat. Lots of room, spotlessly clean and very well equipped.
Trudi and Ted lovely hosts and on hand but allowed us privacy.
Berating, peaceful and private garden.
It made the perfect relaxing base for exploring more of Cornwall.
Thank you
Ted and Trudi are lovely. Lots of suggestion and always in the mood for a nice little chat. Cottage well equipped and tastefully decorated. We'd love to come back.
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.
This was the second time we have stayed in this lovely accommodation and hopefully it won't be the last. Spacious, clean and very well equipped. Lovely location close to 2 beaches and Gorran Haven is very picturesque. Hosts are really pleasant and helpful but not at all intrusive. Perfect!
If you look for the Paradies, then come to this Place. 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. Best regards from Nico and Family.
The property was cosy and the kitchen well equipped. The shower in the bathroom was not particularly good but this is the only negative. The location was wonderful and very peaceful. It was a short walk down foxhole lane ( extremely steep ) to the small harbour / beach where you can buy and then sit eating your fish and chips which are the best I have ever had. We were ideally located for trips to mevagissey, Charlestown and Fowey. It is a very steep and narrow lane to the farmhouse but we had no issues going up or down. The costal walk which you can join 2 minutes from the farmhouse is amazing. The hosts Ted and Trudie are lovely and left us a supply of their home grown tomatoes and lettuce which were very tasty. I would certainly recommend and I am sure we will revisit again …
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.
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.
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.
