“My second time staying in cliff cottage and it feels like home.”

Clean and homely with lovely views and walks on hand, all with the sea on your doorstep. See you again next year...Ted the cocker spaniel is already counting down the days to get back to his beach.

Kelly September 2024

“We had a fantastic holiday at Cliff Cottages.”

It was perfect for our needs and is a great location for peace, quiet and a dip in the sea! The house was very, very clean and comfortable. We loved the hot tub and wifi was perfect, no issues with at all. We did read the previous reviews and noted about the lack of drying space, so we took our own clothes horse which did the job for us and drying towels. Might be something to consider purchasing for the house for when you cannot get towels and clothes out on the washing line. But aside from that the house and location allowed us to relax, switch off and really enjoy our holiday - so much so, we did not want to come home! We have bookmarked for returning - thank you.

- Kelly, September 2024

Dear Kelly We are delighted that you had a peaceful and relaxing holiday with us. Thank you for your lovely comments and we hope to see you again in the future. Sallie Property Owner
Carl August 2024

“Absolutely love this cottage perfect location it was nice to see the new carpet.”

Would off gave it a 5 star just a few things let it down the shower wasn’t working properly never got very warm and the spa was overdosed with chlorine it actually ruined our swimwear but apart from that we couldn't recommend this place enough.

- Carl, August 2024

Dear Carl, Thank you for your lovely comments. If you had notified us whilst you were there regarding the shower I would have sent somebody around immediately. When we checked it out we could find no faults, but apologies if it wasn’t warm enough. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again in the future. Sallie Property Owner

“This is the third time we have stayed at this lovely cottage.”

The location is amazing and the cottage is really lovely. It was a treat to arrive to see it had been refreshed with a new carpet etc We only have a couple of niggles: the tv is tricky and this time we did ask for help which was forthcoming. But the device isn’t great tbh and we had to sign in to our own Netflix account. It is also really tricky to get towels dry so we always take our own plus some beach towels … some more hooks in the bathroom and another heated towel rail would be amazing as the damp sea air has sometimes resulted in a boring trip to the laundrette in Truro to wash and dry towels! That said, we love the cottage and will return next year: highly recommend it ;-)

- Fae, August 2024

Dear Fae It was lovely to have you back with us again, so glad you had another enjoyable time with us. Maybe we’ll see you again next year. Sallie Property Owner
Mike June 2024

“Wonderful location, quaint quirky property.”

Enjoyed the hot tub most evenings after a long walk. Bed was not that comfortable, also not ideal for dog as no garden (decking area only) so had to be taken for walk down the road. We enjoyed our stay nonetheless.

- Mike, June 2024

Hello We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Unfortunately there is no garden with our house, but as you say, the beach is less than a minutes walk down the road. And nothing better than a relaxing time in the hot tub after a day out walking. Many thanks. Property Owner
Ellie May 2024

“A beautiful property located a stones throw from the most stunning cove and beach.”

Super lovely location with great walks from the door. The cottage is well equipped and has a very homely fee, really cosy! Everything we needed for our holiday was available, hot tub was great and the cottage was lovely and clean - can't wait to go back!

- Ellie, May 2024

Thank you so much Ellie, your great comments are much appreciated. I’m so happy that you enjoyed your stay at our beautiful cottage overlooking the sea. We always hope that our guests are blown away by the location and have a fabulous holiday. We look forward to your next booking. Thanks again. Property Owner
Shonni May 2024

“This cottage looks good in the photos but in reality it is awful, worn out, filthy and uncomfortable furniture.”

Door ways and stairs are too low for tall people,(no mention of it in listings)several bumps on head received! Cobwebs everywhere, stains on carpets and on throws. No heating in kitchen, hot water lasts for 1 minute then runs cold. Minimal instructions for property. Holiday was cut very short due to all of this, to uncomfortable to stay.

- Shonni, May 2024

I just wanted to share some feedback with you. The guests who stayed in 2 Cliff Cottage after your visit had a really great time. They loved the house and their stay, and left some wonderful comments. I just wanted to let you know that there is a Welcome and Information pack on the bottom shelf of the coffee table in the lounge area. It has all the details for connecting to the WiFi and contact information for myself and the Housekeeper, who are always ready to help with any issues. As for the bunk beds, I understand that there might have been a misunderstanding. The description on the Sykes website mentions that the beds are suitable for children under 12. Also, your booking was for 2 adults, but it seems there were more than 2 people in the cottage. I hope this helps clarify things. Property Owner

“A perfect holiday.”

the hot tub was a lovely bonus and so private. Amazing views. The treats left were very welcome. We put the dustbin out as requested but it was not emptied - maybe to do with being out of season, also no date for the recycling. Those are the only things but even that could not spoil our time. so peaceful - even if the weather was not great. Would recommend directions to the local garage as we found ourselves being sent down tractor lanes by the satnav, which was rather scary in the daylight and white knuckle gripping in the dark.

Penda October 2023

“The cottage was lovely, beautiful views.”

The hot tub was lovely it’s a plus for me the cottage was very clean and tidy, the welcome treats were amazing ,but the bed was really uncomfortable. If they would change the mattress and everything would go to a 10 out of 10 otherwise enjoyed my holiday it was beautiful.

- Penda, October 2023
Barry September 2023

“The cottage is in a beautiful location.”

It was spotless inside, which is credit to the unsung heroes working behind the scenes . A thoroughly enjoyable stay, and I would love to return some time soon as me and Ted..the Cocker spaniel had just the perfect break.

- Barry, September 2023
Carl September 2023

“Absolutely beautiful cottage and stunning location a few thing’s disappointed me the hedge hadn’t been cut for a while so the view from the back garden was blocked, the hot tub clearly needed a water change it wasn’t the cleanest looking where the hose was it hadn’t moved for some time I know there’s a hose pipe ban but the hose pipe can be used for business use.”

And the last you need to add to your description that the fridge won’t hold a 4 pint milk in the door the fridge itself wasn’t big enough but apart from that beautiful

- Carl, September 2023
Robert September 2023

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful part of Cornwall.”

We did have an issue with stair rail not secured enough.The slatted bed seems a bit weak and mattress could be thicker and the settee under the cushions was full of hair and mess.But it is a lovely place to stay

- Robert, September 2023
Andrew August 2023

“This is a lovely little cottage in a truly beautiful location.”

It is pleasantly decorated and we had a wonderful two week stay. The hot tub was great. The only negative I could give is that as we stayed for two weeks we would have liked a washing machine, which could have been installed instead of a dishwasher. Also the hedge by the hot tub needed trimming which spoiled the beautiful view of the sea and beach. I would fully recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing sea front stay in a beautiful location.

Treats on arrival was a lovely touch, house was beautiful and spotless, fantastic location would highly recommend for a relaxing break

Fae July 2023

“This is a lovely place to stay - we’ve visited more than once and intend to go again.”

There are just a few tweaks that could improve comfort but nothing major. It’s a really beautiful cottage in a fantastic setting - ideal for our young son who just loves the beach. The only real niggle for us is that there is no washing/drying facility so our top tip is to take an airer and extra towels! Highly recommend this cottage ;-)

- Fae, July 2023
Liam July 2023

“Just returned from an amazing stay at 2 Cliff Cottage, upon arrival, the cottage was so clean, the lovely goodies were very welcome and a nice surprise.”

Falling asleep to the sound of the sea utter bliss, the cottage was perfect in every way, lazing in the hot tub after a walk on the coastal path walk and watching the stars. Your cottage was just perfect in every way we will be back soon, Thank you

Thank you for your lovely comments, we look forward to seeing you again in the future. Property Owner

Sarah May 2023

“Lovely cottage away from everything.”

Views amazing and hot tub an added bonus. Welcome gifts a welcome treat after a long drive. Would definitely recommend

- Sarah, May 2023

Thank you Sarah for your lovely comments. We are very proud of the hard work we had to put into the cottage to make it look so lovely. To be able to sit in the hot tub overlooking the beach and sea is indeed a real treat. Thank you again, and your recommendations are always welcomed. Best wishes. Property Owner
A May 2023

“A very clean, quiet and delightful quaint cottage, with stunning sea views.”

The hot tub in the secluded garden looking out to sea was a superb finishing touch. The beach is a 30 second walk! We were placed here last minute due to a fault with another local property we were staying in, but one night here ended up making our holiday perfect. We will be returning here again!!

- A, May 2023

Thank you for your kind comments and the lovely letter of thanks you left for us. We always strive to ensure our guests have the best possible holiday at our lovely little cottage overlooking the sea. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Property Owner

“Cooker did not have any instructions and could not get the oven to work, also needed a clean.”

Lower lock on back door was temperamental and needs fixing. Apart from the above everything was great and an amazing cottage, stunning location, wonderful stay.

- Rob, April 2023

Thank you for your lovely comments about our beautiful cottage and we are pleased that you had a wonderful stay with us. I’m really not sure why you could not figure out how the oven worked as this has never been a problem in the past. However, we did get the lock looked at and indeed it needed replacing, so thank you for bringing this to our attention. Many thanks. Property Owner
Mark March 2023

“The cottage is in a stunning location which makes it.”

However, it wasn’t entirely clean, there were finger nails on the table underneath the cook books. There were also no settee cushions (only decorative ones) on the backs of the settees making for very uncomfortable seating. The mattress in the main bedroom was very uncomfortable. The hot tub was dirty (I have photographs) and so full of bubbles and chlorine (because it hadn’t been cleaned) it stung our eyes. It also ruined my silver jewellery, which I have never had a problem with wearing in a hot tub before. Again down to the amount of chlorine. My jewellery is very sentimental to me as most of it was bought as gifts from friends and family, so this I am most gutted about. Unfortunately I will not be recommending this beautiful cottage based on the above.

“Fantastic location only issue would have liked to use the log burner”

- Carlene, November 2022
Joanna October 2022

“Everything we needed.”

If you want a quiet, relaxed stay, this is your perfect place. Swimming in the sea and back for a hot tub. Quiet bays/beaches on your door step. Falling to sleep to the sound of the waves in comfortable bed. I absolutely loved it. Thank you.

- Joanna, October 2022
Fae July 2022

“This is a lovely cottage in a great location - we will definitely want to stay there again.”

There are just a few niggles which could do easily be fixed to make it a full 5 stars: there is nowhere to hang wet swimwear to dry so a small washing line or some hooks outside would easily fix this issue The patio area needed a bit of tlc - a sweep - and we really struggled with the TV which didn’t seem to have the usual channels (eg BBC) so we had to log in to our own Disney account etc - but otherwise, we would highly recommend this lovely cottage!

- Fae, July 2022
Ashley July 2022

“Great little cottage.”

Could benefit from a new bed and a washer/dryer would’ve been really useful just to freshen towels up after a few days. Otherwise lovely, clean and beautiful location. I do wish owners would stop using covid as an excuse now to not service you though?

- Ashley, July 2022
Simon May 2022

“Beautiful cottage stunning location perfect for a relaxing break.”

The sweet treats were nice and very welcome, couldn't find any wine glasses which would've been helpful as we do like a nice glass of wine in the evening, but on the whole had a really great stay and have recommended cliff cottage to family and friends

- Simon, May 2022
Kevin April 2022

“The cottage was lovely and in a great secluded location with the beach on your doorstep, it was well equipped bar a few basics but being self catering that is understandable, unfortunately the bed mattress did not agree with my wife and I and we both felt it very uncomfortable which affected our sleep.”

I am aware that everyone is different so mattress comfort can be difficult.

- Kevin, April 2022
Sue March 2022

“Location superb.”

Attention to detail in some areas let it down. Outside area needed a clean and thorough sweep. The mattress in the main bedroom needs changing. A lack of helpful detail in your handbook eg TV instructions, description of local cafe, restaurants. Providing better and bigger towels is required. We did enjoy our stay, just a few tweaks would have made it 5 star!

- Sue, March 2022
Alice February 2022

“Lovely cottage, really cosy with everything we needed.”

Real care and attention was out in to make our stay really amazing and the location is also beautiful. We will definitely be returning so thank you for making our stay the best break we have had in a long time

Adam November 2021

“The cottage is absolutely perfect if you are looking for a quiet get away!”

me and my partner spent the whole weekend in the cottage with out really feeling the need to leave, everything essential for a weekend stay is provided in the cottage all that we had to worry about arriving with food and water lol! The hosts do a great job of ensuring the bedding, towels, bathroom and kitchen utensils are spotless. The cottage was immaculate upon arrival and it is clear to see the cottage is well looked after all year round. There was one slight issue we encountered and that was the fact the hot tub wasn't heated and ready upon arrival................ However, this is very much a first world problem and would 100% not effect my decision to stay here again in the future!

The property

Gorran Haven 5.6 miles.

Overlooking the remarkable waters of the English Channel in the quaint hamlet of West Portholland, rests this charming holiday home, 2 Cliff cottages.

Offering a delightful nautical interior and boasting panoramic views across the coast, 2 Cliff cottages is an idyllic base for a romantic retreat to Cornwall.

Park up on the roadside and step into the striking stone-built dwelling, dusting off your sandy toes as you enter into the beautifully-appointed living/dining room, contemporary in design with a charming nautical blue décor whilst maintaining the property's original character.

Settle in on the sumptuous sofa to enjoy a moment of peace in front of the television after an action-packed day before heading through to the amply-equipped kitchen to prepare a romantic meal for two to enjoy gathered around the intimate dining table.

If you're lucky enough to experience the warmer weather, enjoy a spot of alfresco dining with a scenic view across the coast on the patio, soaking in the fresh sea breeze as you toast a glass of fizz to an unforgettable holiday, and ending the day in style with a luxurious soak amongst the bubbles in the hot tub.

As the day draws to a close, prepare for bed with a revitalizing rinse in the stylish bathroom, located on the ground-floor for your convenience, before heading upstairs where you'll find two thoughtfully laid out bedrooms, a charming bunk room, perfect for reading a goodnight story to both little ones at once, alongside a king-size bedroom, where you can wake as the sun rises over the water and floods the room with light.

Head out the door and kickstart your day with an invigorating dip in the stunning waters of the nearby beach, or soak in the views with a leisurely stroll along the scenic South West Coast Path, before exploring the close-by hamlet of East Portholland, a wonderful settlement that is the backdrop to Tim Burton’s Miss Peregrine's School for Peculiar Children.

The fishing village of Gorran Haven is home to your amenities, enjoy a refreshing pint and friendly service at The Barley Sheaf, bask in the sun at Little Perhaver or walk the coastal path to the soft sands of Vault Beach and further along to Dodman Point, the highest headland on the south Cornwall coast.

Travel to the harbourside village of Mevagissey to spend a fun-filled day out exploring the fascinating sights on display at Mevagissey Model Railway and Mevagissey Aquarium, homing an exciting array of local marine wildlife.

Venture further afield to the vibrant city of Truro, boasting a marvellous selection of shops and eateries to suit a variety of tastes, along with the exhibitions of the region's wildlife and history on display at Royal Cornwall Museum and the remarkable architecture at the striking Victoria Gothic Revival Cathedral.

Be sure to explore the town of St Austell and visit the enchanting Menacuddle Well, enjoy a game of putty at the town’s golf club, or embark on an exciting experience at the stunning botanical gardens of the Eden Project, a great place to view and learn about exotic plants whilst enjoying great dishes from its variety of eateries.

Treat your loved ones to an unforgettable escape to the delightful coast of Cornwall with a stay at 2 Cliff cottages.

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.

There is a £35 pet supplement per pet per holiday
