Narrow streets and rows of picture-postcard fishermen’s cottages wind down towards Beachcombers. A tranquil cottage in Gorran Haven, this luxury holiday home is perched on the seafront with unrivalled views over the sandy cove. Occupying an exclusive position among three beachfront cottages, this is an idyllic retreat for making fond summer memories.
The property sleeps up to eight people across four bedrooms, two large reception rooms, along with the bonus of two well-appointed family bathrooms. The cosy wood burner creates a toasty bolthole for storm watching in the winter months, whilst the generous dining terrace overlooking the beach is the perfect spot for evening barbeques in the summer. Equipped with Smart TVs and a Sonos sound system, this traditional cottage has a contemporary twist.
Located in a sheltered spot with two sandy beaches on the doorstep, families will love the calm waters that bring the perfect opportunity for kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming.
Beachcombers is a traditional Cornish cottage set in an enviable position just above the water. The property is accessed by a 100-yard walk along a pathway from the road and has no parking facilities outside. The owner provides two parking permits so guests can park their cars in the village car park, which is located a five-minute walk away.
Keen hikers will relish the South West Coast Path located on Beachcombers’ doorstep, providing scenic walks to the fishing village of Mevagissey or the beautiful Vault Beach and Dodman Point. Venture slightly further afield along the breathtaking Roseland Peninsula to discover empty beaches and quaint harbour villages.

More about theExterior
Garden
Delight in the unspoilt views over Gorran Haven’s glimmering waters from the comfort of Beachcombers’ garden. As you take in the view, gather around the outdoor dining table for al fresco feasts cooked on the charcoal barbeque. Please note that Beachcombers and the two neighbouring cottages share private step access from the garden to the beach, which is a bit steep and rocky.
Gorran Haven Beach
Beachcombers occupies an unparalleled position on the sea front at Gorran Haven Beach, located a stone’s throw away from the picturesque sands and quaint fisherman’s village. The beach is dog-friendly year-round.
Parking
The unique beachside location means the property is accessed via a 100 yard walk along a pathway and therefore has no parking facilities. The homeowner provides two parking permits for guests to park in the local car park a five minute walk away.

Outdoor pursuits
Walkers can hop onto the South West Coast Path for rural views, while watersports fanatics can take advantage of the sheltered coves for kayaking and paddleboarding. Plus, family fishing afternoons are a must on a sunny afternoon.
A short drive will bring you to The Lost Gardens of Heligan and the world-famous Eden Project, both fantastic days out. For golfers, Carlyon Bay is home to an 18-hole championship golf course while local vineyards such as Polmassick and Bosue are perfect for an afternoon spent sampling delicate wines.
Beaches and watersports
Directly in front of the village, Gorran Haven Beach is a pretty and sheltered cove, protected by the staggering 400ft Dodman Point. Neighbouring Little Perhaver becomes accessible at low tide and both beaches are dog-friendly.
For larger expanses of sand, keen walkers can head west for a short stint towards Vault Beach. Otherwise, hop in the car and seek further seclusion in the form of the Roseland Peninsula, dotted with golden beaches, gentle waters and picturesque harbour villages.
Food and drink
From afternoon teas and cocktails to special evening meals, the Llawnroc is a must-visit. Ever so slightly further afield will bring you to the Barley Sheaf pub, the perfect stop off for a light refreshment on your way back from a fun day out.
With many beaches and harbours located along the south coast, tempting pubs and restaurants are plentiful. Neighbouring Mevagissey is home to several, such as Salamander, which serves fresh local seafood. For truly special occasions, the Michelin-starred Driftwood Hotel near Portscatho promises a memorable dining experience.
