“Paul and I really enjoyed a wonderful week at Mariners Rest.”

This ‘home from home’ is truly delightful: all the facilities we needed; a terrific location; and friendly locals always happy to stop and have a chat (gossip). Gorran Haven is a lovely place to live and stay on holiday, with so many attractive places to visit close by - Heligan’s gardens, Vault Beach, Porthluney Cove Beach, Mevagissey, the coast path, to mention just a few. The welcome pack was very … well welcome! A lovely host ensured our stay provided us with the break we wanted and ...

Noel October 2024

“We had a lovely stay at the Mariners Rest, and found the property to be very clean throughout the house which was very well equipped for all your needs.”

The owner (Georgia) was very nice and approachable at any time. There were some great costal path walks we had with our dogs, and all the locals were very friendly. Some shops only opened for a couple of days during our stay early October, but till didn't affect are stay, I would think shops would be open more earlier In the season.

Ah thankyou Ken. Do come back and see me. Many thanks for your kind words x Property Owner
Helen May 2024

“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!

- Helen, May 2024

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
Judith May 2024

Dear Nick I'm so delighted you both enjoyed your stay. I look forward to seeing you again very soon. Catch up then. Best wishes Georgia x Property Owner
Sarah March 2024

“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.

- Sarah, March 2024

Hi Sarah Thankyou for a lovely review. Lovely to meet you all. See you soon xx Property Owner
Michelle March 2024

“We loved our stay at Mariners rest.”

A lovely comfy and cozy place in Gorran Haven. Should be Gorran Heaven. Georgia has made the place so welcoming. It’s peaceful and stunning surroundings too. I will be returning.

- Michelle, March 2024

Wow. Thankyou for our first wonderful review. It was a pleasure to have you and looking forward to seeing you and family again. Best wishes Georgia x Property Owner

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.

Please note: This property only accepts check ins from a Friday.
Please note: Two well-behaved dogs welcome.
