  • "A great situation, close to the beach and cliff walks."

    The property is roomy and well laid out. The bedroom is very big, with a king size firm bed. We enjoyed our stay.

    Such a shame you only feel it's worth 4.4 review. 24 others are 5 star. Let's hope other potential guests focus on the other amazing reviews. All the best and I am very sorry it didn't meet your expectations. Georgia x Property Owner

  • "Just back from a much needed break at Mariners Rest."

    The weather wasn’t the best but it didn’t matter one bit as we were able to enjoy our beautiful place and surroundings come rain or shine! Lovely spacious and bright accommodation with a view of the sea to wake up to, such a calm, comfortable space to relax in, both inside and out. And thank you to our fabulous host Georgia who was excellent with her communication & kindly on call if we needed anything. But we didn’t as everything was perfect ! Super location to explore too - we enjoyed just being able to walk out the door and walk the costal path from Gorran Haven to Port Mellon on a beautiful sunny day with stunning coastal views and we even saw some seals ! And nearby, well worth exploring the fishing villages of Charlestown, Mevagissey and Fowey. We recommend the Polgooth Inn for an amazing breakfast treat especially the ‘marmite melt!’, the local Gorran fish and chip shop a short stroll away & the Crown at St Ewe for supper! Can’t wait to return to Mariners Rest and the fabulous Cornish coast - missing you already!

    Dear Helen Thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated. Do come back and see me soon. We miss you too. Thankyou so much x Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely Easter weekend stay at the property."

    It was modern, spotless, and well-equipped, and it even included fresh free-range eggs! The owner was very helpful and quick to answer all of our questions. Gorran Haven was a perfect, quiet base. It is a delightful, unspoilt Cornish village, a short walk to the harbour and southwest coast path. Taking a circular walk on the coast path to Volt Beach and Dodman Point is well worth the effort. We enjoyed our stay and will be back.

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.
