  • "A lovely verandah with unbroken views of the sea."

    Rooms are very comfortable and 2 of them have amazing views of the sunrise over the sea. Gorran Haven has lovely coastal walks and very safe bathing with 2 sandy bays. A small harbour guards a few fishing boats until stormy weather arrives and they shelter for the winter in Mevagissey.

    Thank you so much for your feedback. We were so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Beachcliff. The walks from the cottage are lovely with spectacular views around every corner. Yes the beaches are very safe which makes it so attractive for families. Helen & Rob Property Owner

  • "Property clean, modern and well maintained."

    A bonus was a welcome supply of tea, coffee and milk. Our car is a small Suzuki Alto with a small turning circle, but I still could not exit the parking space by turning onto Silver Street, you MUST reverse down Clarkson Street, but it's short and straight. Also, if you have a passenger, it would help if they walk behind as you reverse to warn pedestrians as it a busy thoroughfare. We will definately be staying again.

    Dear Sally I think you have given feedback about another cottage as I do not recognise the street names you have mentioned. We hope you enjoyed your stay at Beachcliff, Gorran Haven. Rob & Helen Property Owner

  • "A very spacious bungalow, extremely comfortable with a large veranda overlooking the large lawn and straight out to the sea."

    3 minutes walk to the little harbour and Beach. Lovely walks East and West over the cliffs. There is plenty of parking space for at least 3 cars and dogs love it!

    Forgive our late response but we were so pleased to hear that you loved Beachcliff and the amazing scenery and walks. Thank you Rob & Helen Property Owner

    It’s our sixth year coming to Gorran Haven, staying in different dog friendly houses and this is the best one, hands down. Waking up to that view makes the holiday. We will be back!

  • "The cottage has been nicely updated, introducing modern facilities but retaining much of the period charm."

    It is clearly a much loved family home, as well as a holiday let. The location is perfect, with lovely sea views and easy access to the coastal path. The walk to Mevagissey via Chapel Point is particularly good and we saw seals bobbing just off the shore. It’s a short stroll into the village, where you will find great fish and chips and a good shop. Lost Gardens of Heligan is ten minutes drive and the Eden Project is also nearby. We had a lovely week here and would highly recommend it.

    Thank you so much for your feedback. Beachcliff is a much loved family home with the 4th generation of the family now enjoying the cottage as well as the beaches. So pleased you enjoyed your week. Rob & Helen Property Owner

  • "We had the most perfect stay at Beachcliff!"

    It is the most beautiful, well equipped and cosy 'cottage', we also loved reading about the history of Beachcliff and you can tell it is much loved by the family who own it. The view from the veranda is spectacular, and we had everything we needed for a week's holiday. We particularly loved all the old books available to read, most about Gorran Haven and Cornwall, and appreciated the boardgames and jigsaws too. We have a VW passat estate and had no issue at all getting on the driveway, you just need to align the car right. Gorran Haven is a very special place, quiet and seemingly untouched, with a lovely community and beaches. We'll definitely be staying again and cannot thank the owners enough for sharing their special holiday home with us.

    Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at our cottage which has a very special history and is very much loved by us and our family. Helen & Rob Property Owner

  • "Beachcliff is in a wonderful position in Gorran Haven, a village we love for its unspoilt character."

    The sea views from the house are magnificent and the village has remarkably good shop, cafe and fish and chip restaurant. The swimming and walking opportunities are outstanding. The house is spacious and comfortable - we felt relaxed and at home there. (In an ideal world, there would have been a dishwasher and more fridge/freezer space, but we could see that this might be awkward to fit in.) We are already planning to return to Beachcliff and looking forward to another wonderful holiday there.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased that you felt comfortable and relaxed at Beachcliff and also enjoyed the small village. Helen & Rob Property Owner

  • "The property is as described and it was comfortable in many ways."

    Unfortunately, in one of the coldest weeks of the year so far, the heating was off when we got there and as it was night-storage heaters they never really came into use until the next day. However, we were supplied with wood and coal so both fires were lit fairly rapidly which really warmed up the living room and kitchen. There was a small mobile heater in the back bedroom that we put into our bedroom as it had no heating. Having said all that we had a very peaceful and happy week, we loved the bungalow, and it was only the heating that let the cottage down.

    Thank you for your feedback. We were so sorry that the storage heaters were not working when you arrived. Usually they are left on all year round except high summer so we do apologise for that. However we were so pleased you enjoyed your week and loved Beachcliff despite the initial heating problem. Helen & Rob Property Owner

  • "1. Beachcliff had a beautiful aspect over the sea."

    2. Well equipped bungalow 3. Some areas tired and musty smell due to dampness. 4. Vehicular access through the large gate was a tight squeeze for my VW Tiguan. Anyone with a longer car would not be able to drive through this gate due to the narrow street. I feel this should be pointed out when listing the property. Overall we had a lovely stay in a stunning location.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your stay at our property. We appreciate hearing from our guests, as it helps us improve our services and offerings. We are sorry to hear that you found our property to be tired and that you experienced a musty smell during your visit. In view of its coastal location we provide a dehumidifier for the use of guests. We understand that maintaining its charm while ensuring a fresh atmosphere is essential, and we are sorry if this was not entirely achieved for your visit. The relatively narrow entrance to the property is mentioned in the details. We are pleased to hear that overall you had a lovely stay. Property Owner

  • "The house was, on balance, delightful."

    The location is superb with a panoramic sea view. Walking to the harbour, beach and Cakebreads was close, if a steep hill. The house had character and an interesting history. The worst issue is getting the car into and out of the garden with substantial solid gateposts only a few millimetres on each side of my car, which is only of medium size. They should come down with a recessed and wider opening and a proper surfaced parking area provided. Lynn and Geoff July 2024

    Thank you for your feedback. We will ensure that guests are made aware that the short walk down to the village includes a steep hill. We note your comment about the relatively narrow entrance through the original gateway which is 2.64 metres wide and does require some alignment, particularly for larger cars; we will add a note to our guest information. We have also noted your suggestion regarding a parking area. Rob and Helen Property Owner

  • "We thought the cottage was utterly charming."

    We’ve stayed at 8 different places in GH now as we go there every year. We've stayed in one place ( Trelawney) 3 times. We’ve stayed in places with much better facilities, places with dishwashers, laundry rooms with dryers, en-suites and places a with rooms to hang wetsuits, however despite theses things we will be returning to BeachCliff as nothing we’ve stayed in yet offers the charm, the veranda and the view . We were all very sad to leave.

    Thank you for your nice comments. Our facilities are limited by the size of the cottage and by the wish to retain its character. Rob and Helen Property Owner

    Beachcliff was a very obviously loved property that the owners have stamped their own identity on. The coal and log fires were a lovely touch in the evenings, during the stormy nights, giving the property a lovely cosy warm feel. Immaculatly clean, with very comfortable beds adding to the relaxing stay. This lovely property grow on me day by day as week went on, meaning I I didn't want to leave... I will definitely be back in the near future,

The property

Located in the picturesque village of Gorran Haven on Cornwall’s south coast, Beachcliff is the perfect destination for a family holiday or equally for a group of friends to enjoy.

Within the Cornwall Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty, Beachcliff enjoys a simply sublime setting with captivating sea views.

All the accommodation is conveniently placed on one level making for ease of access and is warm and welcoming, ensuring visitors enjoy a memorable stay.

Within a 5 minute walk are safe beaches, the coastal footpath and shops down a short steep hill.

The small general store ‘Cakebreads’ is where you can buy basic daily items; they also provide wonderful pasties and other savouries as well as teatime treats.

The fish and chip shop in the village is highly recommended, and The Barley Sheaf pub and restaurant in Gorran is just a mile away.

Take a seat in the living/dining room which boasts incredible views of the sea and coast beyond.

Watch the sun rise over the sea from the outdoor, covered decking area where you can enjoy eating and drinking alfresco, or take a few steps down onto the enclosed lawned garden where the picnic bench is perfectly-positioned to be able to make the most of those all-important coastal views.

After all that fresh air, you’ll be ready for bed so pick from three, calming bedroom spaces; a double and two twins, one of which contains two child-friendly two-foot-six-inch beds, and two of which have delightful sea views and offer a relaxing sleeping environment, ideal for catching some holiday shut-eye.

Come morning, when you’re refreshed and raring to go, after a quick wash in the shower or a relaxing soak in the bath, head out for the day to explore the wonders on your doorstep.

The nearby beaches are very special, with Gorran Haven and Little Perhaver beaches just a short walk away, or take your pick from other sandy beaches, including Vault beach, within walking distance from Beachcliff.

Further along the coast path are delightful Hemmick and Caerhays beaches, otherwise reached by a short drive.

The cottage is perfectly sited for walkers and you can head out from the door East or West along the South West Coastal Path with amazing views and scenery along the way.

Attractions in the area well worth visiting include the Eden Project, and the fishing village of Megavissey, or jump in the car for a scenic drive and to enjoy attractive nearby villages to the west such as Portloe, Veryan, St Just, St Mawes and Tregony on the Roseland Peninsula and to the east, Fowey with its lovely harbour.

The area is well known for its many spectacular gardens with the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the wonderful spring gardens at Caerhays Castle within five miles.

For a wonderful, varied holiday to remember for a lifetime, be it on the beach, walking or enjoying the other local attractions, book a break at Beachcliff.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

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 the property sleeps a maximum of 6 guests including children and infants.
Please note the entrance to Beachcliff is between 2 relatively narrow pillars (2.65m), requiring some alignment.
Please note: this property only accepts a minimum of 7 night bookings.
