Little Gwyn. 3 min walk to Beach! Gorgeous views out to sea.

This 150 Year old coastguard cottage enjoys lovely sea, headland and harbour views. Situated right on the SW Coast Path, Little Gwyn is only a 3 minute walk away from two gorgeous beaches (Little Perhaver and Gorran Haven beach). Further beaches (including Vault beach, from the film “About Time”) are within easy walking distance along the SW Coast path.
Accommodation is laid out over two floors, with gardens to the front and rear. The Cottage boasts a south facing front terrace and a lovely terrace and garden to the rear; perfect for drying wetsuits after a day on the beach. With three bedrooms; a double, twin and single, Little Gwyn sleeps up to 5 adults plus room for a travel cot so is the ideal holiday cottage for families or couples.
A cosy, wood-beamed sitting room opens on to the front terrace, with stunning sea and headland views. The kitchen with dining area is equipped with all utensils and has a small utility area with washing machine and tumble drier. Books, Games, SKY Q television, DVD player, WIFI and a Log Burner ensure that you can enjoy all home comforts during your stay.
Gorran Haven is a picturesque fishing village, with narrow streets and cobbled lanes; quintessentially Cornish in every way! The village has a fish and chip shop, beach café and a fabulous local store (Cakebreads), with live music & pizza nights in the summer months. Cakebreads also has an outdoor pub - perfect for those long summer evenings.
Mevagissey, a thriving harbour town, is only a few miles drive away, or a wonderfully scenic walk if you fancy, as are The Lost Gardens of Heligan. The world famous Eden Project is only 10 miles away and if you love surfing then the waves of Newquay can be reached in 45 minutes.
Pet friendly. Vault beach (and others nearby) welcomes dogs at all times of the year; the local beach requires a lead during the summer months. Front and rear gardens are both private, with front garden enclosed on all sides.
Like many other properties in the heart of the village, the cottage does not have parking. However, Gorran Haven does have a large car park with good value weekly rates (and only a pleasant 5 minute walk away, past the beach). Cars can be driven up to the property to drop off or pick up.

Lovely cottage in a lovely location - near the beach
My husband and I spent a lovely week in coastguard cottage with Billy our dog. It's a gorgeous cottage, very cosy and with everything you need. It was spotless, and had a clean modern feel, but maintained the quirky old cottage feel. Fab location, (you get used to going up and down the hill!) but it's worth the walk up as you get a gorgeous view of the sea, which you can see from the patio and some of the downstairs area. We enjoyed sitting on the patio with a pasty, or cream tea! You can see the sunrise from the (v.comfy) bed in main bedroom Weather was superb, we had Little Perhaven beach to ourselves some days-swimming and paddleboarding! There are lovely walks direct from the house - to Mevagissey and Hemmick beach in the other direction, If you want to do more, then there are things to do in surrounding towns etc, but we stayed local. We recommend the Haven Chippy, had a lovely fish and chips, salt and pepper squid and 'Haven Stack' burger! We had a fab Sunday lunch at The Crown in St Ewe. It's a short 12 min drive, but the food was delicious and we went twice more during the week. They welcome dogs too :-) Also visit Cakebreads, such friendly people and interesting place! If you haven't watched the film "About Time' do so, and take a walk to Vault Beach as that is where the beach scenes were filmed! It's already a fav film of ours and so fab to watch again when we were there. All in all a lovely week. Would highly recommend! Thanks Michael and Rebecca.

A comfortable and cosy cottage in a quiet location
One could not criticize the facilities, cleanliness or support from the owner of Little Gwyn. The house is attractively decorated and the furnishings were of a good standard. The views of the harbour and sea from the lounge and principal bedroom are truly lovely. The house is equipped with everything we needed and we enjoyed a comfortable week with no problems. Two of us and our dog had plenty of space but the property might be crowded if there were five people trying to use the two sofas and small single bathroom. The only drawback is that there is no adjacent parking space -which we knew in advance - although one can load and unload outside the property. However the car park is down in the village and, though it may only be 5 minutes down the hill, it was considerably more than that for us walking back uphill to the cottage. This was an inconvenience rather than a problem, but could be an issue for people with mobility difficulties or more mature dogs like ours. The village itself was very pleasant and we do not recall many places with such friendly and helpful residents. Everyone we met was happy to chat and offer advice on where to walk, shop or visit. All in all we had a lovely, relaxing holiday, being fortunate with the weather which was largely warm an bright, and we thank Michael and Rebecca for their assistance, support and advice.
