  • "We had a very enjoyable stay in this lovely cottage made even better with the beautiful weather."

    The cottage was very clean and tidy with a safe garden for pets. Well equipped kitchen and nicely decorated throughout. There's a excellent little supermarket and a nice pub close by. Bus stop just out on the main road. Also, there is a lovely walk called 'All Saints Trail' that follows a disused railway to Perranporth. Will definitely be back.

    Hi Janet thank you for a wonderful review and for rating Dune Haven 5 stars! You had amazing weather and glad you enjoyed all the local amenities. So happy you walked The Saints Trail it’s one of our favs too. Hope to welcome you back in the near future Best wishes Sammy Property Owner Property Owner

    Great local shop and pub/restaurant. Only thing missing, having kids it can be a necessity when holidaying in the UK, would be a tumble dryer. A lovely cottage though and rebooked for next year!

  • "We had a lovely stay here in dune haven and everything was just right for our family."

    The garden was perfect for our dog to explore when we were chilling in the garden. The facilities within the house were perfect for what we needed and so close to where we wanted to go for the our days out. Perranporth beach was just beautiful which we enjoyed, and lots of things to do within an hours drive. We felt very relaxed staying here and had a wonderful holiday. The owner Sammy was just a text away if we needed anything and very helpful suggesting a few places to eat and visit . We will recommend this place to our extended family and friends in future and we will plan another visit ourselves

    Thankyou for a great review and for giving us 5 stars! There is nothing better than hearing that our guests have had a fab holiday in our property and that everything was perfect, we look forward to welcoming you all back again someday Best Wishes Sammy Property Owner

Thankyou for your idea of having a tv in the kids room, we do find that most families bring their own devices with them on holiday these days, so we feel that our large smart tv in the lounge is adequate, but we may consider your suggestion in the future.

    The property itself is clean, welcoming and has everything you could possibly need for a home from home holiday. Sammy the owner has put a lot of thought into the property and the welcome pack (Cornish cream teas, milk, biscuits, sweets and more) which was much appreciated and saved a trip to the shops until later in the holiday. We were blessed with hot weather and the garden is sun trap so we were able to relax there late in the afternoon after a day out.

    The kitchen has all the equipment you could ask for or want, the beds are really comfy and there is plenty of storage for suitcases, clothes etc. Sammy (the owner) has done an amazing job in making the house feel like a home away from home, and touches like the cream tea and other treats really make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. The communication from Sammy was fantastic, especially as our stay coincided with the news of the second lockdown in England, and we cannot thank her enough for all her help during our stay. We had a fabulous holiday and would highly recommend this property to anyone who wants a holiday in Cornwall.

    We class ourselves as able bodied but my husband struggled to lift his legs that high. Older people would not be able to use the bath/shower.

    It’s perfectly located to access the stunning beaches at Perranporth and only a few miles from Newquay. The house itself is really well equipped and is spotlessly clean. It’s perfect for a family because it offers plenty of space for everyone to have their own perfect quiet spot. I loved reading in the conservatory in the late afternoon following a busy day at the beach. Dune Haven is a dog friendly cottage; you really won’t need to bring anything for your four legged friend because Sammy provides dog bowls, towels and treats!!! Plus the rear conservatory entrance is a really excellent space to dry them off (dogs and kids) before they come into the house. The back garden is very secure and it is private, with good quality furniture to dine outdoors, which we did a lot because we had beautiful weather. We’ve stayed in dozens of holiday cottages in the UK and Dune Haven is up there with the best. Thank you Sammy for a perfect stay and for your generous hospitality. The Caseys, Plymouth.

The property

Dune Haven is an elegantly presented, semi-detached bungalow resting within the picturesque village of Goonhavern, just 2.5 miles from Perranporth.

This all-ground-floor property is ideally situated for a family looking to spend some time at the glorious coast or to enjoy the superb attractions at nearby Newquay.

It comes with three well-presented bedrooms, comprising of a king-size bedroom, a twin bedroom and a bunk bedroom, which has access to the conservatory, offering a space to soak up your surroundings as you wake up each morning.

The designated chef of the group will be delighted by the well-equipped kitchen, where you will find all the essentials to prepare some delicious home-cooked meals during the week-long stay.

Spend your down time within the spacious living room, where the family can gather to enjoy evening meals or tune into the TV, whilst the roaring woodburning stove fills the room with warmth during those chilly winter months.

If you are visiting during the summer months, spend a moment or two upon the rear patio where you can rustle up some treats on the BBQ whilst your canine companion roams around the spacious lawned garden with the large decked area which is enclosed with traditional Cornish stone walls.

If you don’t feel like cooking one evening, a short stroll will bring you to the traditional inn, where you will find a superb dining menu to suit the whole family.

The superb location offers a vast array of things to keep a family of all ages and tastes busy, including the golden stretch of beach at Perranporth or spend an afternoon at the Healey's Cornish Cyder Farm or Lappa Valley steam railway with miniature railway and lots to do with all the family.

Alternatively, choose to stroll along the South West Coast Path or try your hand at surfing at the popular beaches of Newquay.

Superbly connected by road, rail and air this lovely property is perfect as a base to explore further afield.

About the location

PERRANPORTH

Newquay 9 miles; Truro 9.5 miles.

Perranporth, a beautiful Cornish coastal town, lies in the heart of Poldark Country, the setting for the novels of Winston Graham who lived in Perranporth in the 1930s. Perranporth offers plenty of traditional pubs and shops, plus a classic bucket-and-spade beach that is lifeguarded in summer, overlooked by craggy rocks and a wonderful coastal path. Once known as the source of the finest tin, the community still retains reminders of the rich heritage with abandoned pump houses, mine shafts and workers’ cottages. The local Blue Hills Museum and Perranzabuloe Folk Museum are both well worth a visit to understand the fascinating history of this coastal area. Further afield are the miles of sandy beaches at Crantock and Holywell Bay, and the breathtaking coastal walks around St Agnes, much of it owned by the National Trust. A perfect holiday base in Cornwall, with an abundance of activities to suit everyone.

This property offers the following short breaks:

  • Winter
  • Off-season
  • Last minute
  • Christmas
