Seaside Holiday Cottage
Gorran Haven
Cornwall
Step directly out of your front door onto the golden sands of Gorran Haven at this extraordinary coastal property—an exceptional choice for families and groups searching for a Gorran Haven beachside holiday cottage. Steeped in local maritime legend, this unique 18th-century three-storey cottage was originally “The Ship” village pub, once frequented by famous local smuggler Dickie Kingcup. Today, it offers a magical seaside sanctuary where you can drift off to sleep to the sound of crashing waves against the shore.
Nestled right on the beach, protected by the historic harbour wall, guests enjoy immediate access to safe swimming, kayaking, and coastal walks along the South West Coast Path. The beloved Mermaid Beach Cafe sits conveniently next door, serving fresh local treats and refreshments until early evening. Venture beyond the cove to explore the majestic Caerhays Castle and Gardens (3.5 miles), the Lost Gardens of Heligan (2 miles), the fishing village of Mevagissey, and the world-famous biomes of the Eden Project.
