  • Andrew

    “On first arriving at the property just from the appearance outside we were sure we wouldn’t be disappointed.”

    In fact once inside it was spotless. Tea. Coffee. milk etc were provided to start things off nicely. The property was well equipped and everything was to a very high standard also at an ideal location for the beach. Georgia the owner is very pleasant and although we were totally satisfied I’m sure if we had any problems she wouldn’t hesitate to sort things out . We would be happy to stay here again Andrew & Karen

The property

Mariners Rest is a thoughtfully styled and generously proportioned one-bedroom hideaway, nestled within the appealing coastal village of Gorran Haven in Cornwall.

With far-reaching sea views and a tucked-away position, this pet-friendly retreat is an excellent choice for couples looking to enjoy a coastal break with a romantic feel.

Inside, the accommodation is tastefully arranged to encourage slow mornings and unhurried evenings.

The king-size bedroom offers a welcoming place to unwind, complete with a sleek en-suite featuring a walk-in shower, basin, heated towel rail, and WC.

At the centre of the home sits the open-plan living area, where a comfortable sitting space with an electric fire creates an inviting setting to relax after a day out, while the dining area lends itself perfectly to laid-back meals for two.

Outside, guests can make the most of two enclosed garden areas, both furnished and positioned to enjoy the sea air.

The front and rear patios provide calm spots for alfresco dining, morning coffee, or simply admiring the breath-taking coastal outlook.

Gorran Haven itself is a charming village, well suited to gentle beach walks and coastal exploration, with welcoming places to eat such as The Barley Sheaf or traditional fish and chips from The Haven.

A short drive brings you to Mevagissey, known for its working harbour, independent shops, and opportunities for boat trips and wildlife spotting.

For a broader day out, the cathedral city of Truro offers excellent dining, shopping, and cultural highlights, including its striking cathedral and local food scene.

Whether you’re planning a romantic escape or a seaside break at an easy pace, Mariners Rest provides an inviting base from which to enjoy Cornwall’s coast.

About the location

GORRAN HAVEN

Mevagissey 3 miles.

Once a crab fishing village, Gorran Haven on the south coast of Cornwall is ideally placed to explore the many beaches and coves in the area. Gorran Haven has a small sandy beach set behind a traditional sea wall, connecting with the longer Great Perhaver beach at low tide and is popular with families. Much of the coastline in this area is owned by the National Trust and is readily accessible from the South West Coast Path that passes through Gorran Haven. Within walking distance are a number of more isolated beaches and the 370 feet high Dodman Point, rising above Gorran, which is thought to be one of Cornwall’s most dramatic headlands, and the cause of many a shipwreck. From its gorse-covered heights there are views across Veryan Bay to the west and Vault Beach to the east. Alternatively, you may wish to walk the coastal path to the harbour village of Mevagissey. Near Gorran Haven, in a beautiful setting of woodland, stream and pasture, is Caerhays Castle, an informal 60-acre garden on the coast near Porthluney Cove. Nearby attractions are the wonderful Lost Gardens of Heligan, Eden Project, Wheal Martyn China Clay Museum and the cathedral town of Truro, with an excellent range of quality shopping and dining.

Please note: this property can only accommodate bookings starting on a Friday with a minimum stay of 3 nights.

Please note: Two well-behaved dogs welcome.
