“Very good accommodation, the owner was very friendly and helpful,”

- Susan, May 2024
Robin May 2024

“Looked forward to our visit due to 'Outstanding' rating and reviews.”

On arrival bitterly disappointed to find a scruffy garden in which the 'private seating area' consisted of a very old unkempt picnic table on an uneven lawn.We didnt realise the property was attached to the owners residence and that 'the view' would be obscured by a large van and a small car covered in advertising.The bungalow itself was spacious and adequately equipped,clean and tidy although the settee in the lounge was extremely uncomfortable. The owners and family were lovely and helpful but the biggest issue was that the heating was controlled by the owner using a Hive system which often left us cold (unseasonal weather)and, inspite of the owner turning the heat up to 24c the heat often did not come on.When it did it was very efficient.I realise reviews are subjective but this property is in no way outstanding and is in need of an upgrade to reach this level.

“This is our 2nd visit to summerfield cottage and both times the cottage has not let us down.”

It's situated in a lovely private road and within a 5 minute walk to a lovely beach. The cottage is spacious with a lovely garden and drive. The hosts Helen and Steve could not be more helpful. We will be back !!

“Helen and Steve were so welcoming and friendly they replied to any query or issue instantly.”

The cottage is well laid out with all you need, cosy and comfortable and near to many beautiful coves and places of interest. We had a lovely time and so did our two friends.

Sean July 2023

“The stay was perfect for our needs.”

The hosts were fantastic. The location is ideal for walkers and those with 4 legs. The beaches were ideal. Just a shame about the rain we had. If you want a nice quiet place to stay. This is the one.

- Sean, July 2023
Mhairi-anne March 2023

“Summerfield Cottage is in a lovely quiet village, walking distance from 2 beaches.”

The house is really cosy, and kept to a really high standard. It has everything you want and more. The owners are next door if you need anything and have great local knowledge. We did a lovely walk with them and their dog. It's the best equipped property we've stayed in. The property was so clean and nice to come back to. The bathroom was a complete joy as we had bad weather, so space to dry out as well was perfect. The bed was comfortable and thought has gone into this house. It felt like a home from home. It made it a perfect stay and break away.

- Mhairi-anne, March 2023
Trudy September 2022

“Lovely property, kept Spotlessly clean.”

Large living room and well equipped kitchen. Short drive or 10 min walk to the village and beach. Friendly owners who are easily contactable for any queries

- Trudy, September 2022
Jason July 2022

“The property was located in a nice quiet street,facilities were very good.”

Steve & Helen were friendly and helpful. The property was approximately 10 minutes walk from the beach down a winding road.Car Park near the beach if you don't fancy walking back up the road. facilities near the beach include local shop ,outdoor bar cafe ,chip shop,ice creams.

- Jason, July 2022
Julie April 2022

“We had a lovely week in Gorran Haven, lots to do within an hour's drive of the cottage so a good base for exploring.”

The bungalow itself was comfy and well appointed and the owners were friendly and welcoming on arrival and let us know they were on hand if needed (thanks for the cooking oil we forgot to buy!) as they live in the property attached to the bungalow.

- Julie, April 2022
Simon March 2022

“Fantastic, clean, cottage ideal for a relaxing holiday in a beautiful area.”

- Simon, March 2022
Colin January 2022

“I've been very lucky to stay at Summerfield Cottage in Gorran Haven, twice.”

Both times for 5 nights. The place is ideal for a coastal walker like myself, or a family with a couple of young children. The cottage is perfectly situated, a mere 10 mins walk to the beach. Much of the credit for my 2 stays being so enjoyable must go to the owners of Summerfield Cottage, Helen and Steve who have been amazing, and are a lovely couple.

- Colin, January 2022
Lynne June 2021

“Every amenity in cottage.”

Friendly and extremely helpful owners readily available. Very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

- Lynne, June 2021
Arthur June 2021

“A most relaxed place to tour the area”

- Arthur, June 2021
Emma April 2021

“We had a very enjoyable stay at Summerfield Cottage in Gorran Haven and would return in a heartbeat.”

Situated a ten-minute walk away from a great beach with fantastic cliff walks (and an excellent fish & chip shop!), it is perfectly located. The cottage is clean and peaceful, with comfortable beds, an ample corner sofa and a large TV. The picnic bench on the front lawn was a great spot for soaking up the sunny weather. The bungalow has a slightly odd layout, with the kitchen in the entrance hall, which then leads into the bathroom, but for a few nights' stay it wasn't a problem. We met the owners during our stay, who were really kind and accommodating.

- Emma, April 2021
Robert October 2020

“Hosts were super and accommodating.”

We had a lovely 3 days in a traditional Cornish seaside village. The only problem we had was the sensor in the hallway which when triggered put the kitchen and bathroom lights on. The lounge door has glass in it And the lights woke the dog up!!

- Robert, October 2020

Great location in a pretty seaside village. Very friendly and helpful owners who live on site. Having a big-screen TV with Sky sports & movies was a bonus as was the bed being a King-size double.

Jane September 2018

“Had a really good stay at Gorran Haven.”

We were very comfortable at Summerfield Cottage and owners were very helpful and friendly.Just the place to stay if you enjoy walking the coastal paths and only a short stroll down to the little harbour. Many places of interest just a short drive away and beautiful scenery. As we were visiting at the end of the season many places were winding down but we still found loads to do and will certainly visit again. Gorran Haven is very dog friendly too even allowing dogs on the beach.

- Jane, September 2018
Stephen September 2018

“Really Great owners, who liver next door.”

So very easy to communicate if any issues arise.

- Stephen, September 2018
Maurice June 2018

“This cottage, as with most others in our experience, is poorly equipped with cooking equipment.”

There is insufficient equipment to meet basic needs - for example there is no mixing bowl, casserole dish or baking dish for 2 to 4 people. The only baking dish was huge - enough for 10 people. The cutlery was of poor quality. I think it is about time that Sykes implemented a standard whereby owners have to provide a minimum of kitchen equipment that allows holiday makers to adequately prepare all their meals - and that doe not just mean 3 poor quality saucepan and a frying pan. We don't all want to eat out every day - or maybe not at all. The cottage was conveniently situated for the activities we undertook. It was in a quiet location and comfortable.

- Maurice, June 2018

The property

Beautiful and homely bungalow located in the Goran Haven area of Cornwall.

Summerfield Cottage is attached to the Summerfield House, which is at the rear.

The cottage is a great retreat for families or couples looking for a fantastic holiday in Cornwall, and it’s in close proximity to the village’s shops and beach.

Inside the cottage there’s a full modern kitchen, as well as a living/dining area, which is a great place to unwind after a day spent walking around the coast, with guests able to relax in front of the plasma TV.

Also located in the living/dining area is a sofa bed.

Elsewhere, the property has king-size and twin bedrooms, along with a reasonably sized bathroom with a separate shower cubicle.

Outside of the cottage is a shared front garden and private sitting area – a great place to relax and top up your tan in the summer.

The village centre has plenty of shops and also two pubs.

Further on is the sandy beach, lovely for an early evening walk.

Also close to the property is a children’s play area, football pitch and tennis courts.

Away from Gorran Haven, holidaymakers are advised to check out nearby Vault and Hemmick beaches, which are one and two miles away respectively.

There’s also the picturesque harbour village of Megavissey, which is just 10 minutes away, where you can bask in the beautiful surroundings of colourful cottages along the cliffside.

Why not take a ferry from the port of St Mawes to Fowey?

Fowey makes for a great day out and its winding streets hide many interesting shops.

The Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are other popular attractions in the area. This cottage is located along the spectacular Roseland Peninsula coastline, and with plenty of beaches and attractions within touching distance, it’s a fine place from which to spend a holiday in Cornwall.

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.
