Relaxing Cornish Break

We had a fantastic stay. The location was excellent, a few minutes walk to either Gorran Haven or Vault Beach, close to the village centre yet tucked away from the hustle and bustle and with a rare parking space right outside the property. The house is set in a really beautiful, peaceful, flower-filled garden. The house itself felt friendly, was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. In the morning the sun filters into the master bedroom giving a real feeling of holiday relaxation. The owners were lovely, helpful and even shared some of their garden produce with us. All in all an idylic stay. We look forward to returning on our next Cornish adventure.

Perfect base for a wonderful holiday

Beautiful, homely flat. Lots of room, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Trudi and Ted lovely hosts and on hand but allowed us privacy. Berating, peaceful and private garden. It made the perfect relaxing base for exploring more of Cornwall. Thank you

Wonderful Cottage

A beautiful cottage, so very comfy and spotlessly clean and welcoming. Truro and Ted are the perfect hosts. Excellent base for travelling around. Less then 2min walk to cliff-tops and breath-taking-views. So peaceful and calm. First visit, and have already booked second visit forn next summer. See you soon.

One week in Cornwall

We spent 1 lovely week in Cornwall in this well equipped and cozy house. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. A beautiful, rarely visited beach can be reached on foot in a few minutes. It is an ideal place to explore the south coast of Cornwall.

Wedding stay

What a beautiful place to be for our wedding weekend. I've walked past this gorgeous home a lot over the last 11 years, and have dreamed of staying there. And this was the perfect opportunity. Lots of space and light, with a fabulously romantic feel. Perfect for the pre wedding fish and chip supper gathering of our nearest and dearest, delightful for me and my bridesmaid to be pampered in, and exactly what we needed to wind down in after our weekend of celebrations in the village. Trudi and Ted were incredible hosts, who were very accepting of the coming and going on the day of the wedding. Spotlessly clean and warm, this flat os a real treat. The hill is a steep climb from everywhere in the village, but that's Gorran Haven! It's a village that keeps you fit! Thank you, Trudi and Ted, for hosting a beautiful home from home.

Perfect location, lovely cottage, delightful hosts

We had the loveliest break in Gorran Haven. The cottage is clean and comfortable and we felt right at home. It's in the perfect location - near enough to everything for convenience but far enough away to feel quiet and secluded. Trudi was a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome. We will be back!

Perfekte Ferienwohnung in wunderschöner Lage

Wir hatten zwei wunderbare Wochen bei Trudi und Ted. Die Ferienwohnung ist sehr gemütlich und super ausgestattet und die Lage einfach traumhaft. Es sind nur ca. 5 Minuten zu Fuß bis zu den Klippen und dem South-West-Coast-Path. Man kann herrlich wandern und es gibt sehr viel zu entdecken. Ein sehr schöner Strand ist ganz in der Nähe und zu Fuß erreichbar. Die Wohnung liegt absolut ruhig und Trudi und Ted sind sehr herzliche Gastgeber, die viele Tipps für Ausflüge und Wanderungen hatten. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit, wir können die Ferienwohnung uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

This was the second time we have stayed in this lovely accommodation and hopefully it won't be the last. Spacious, clean and very well equipped. Lovely location close to 2 beaches and Gorran Haven is very picturesque. Hosts are really pleasant and helpful but not at all intrusive. Perfect!

Amazing flat and location

We loved the flat and the associated cottage garden. All amenities were as described in the listing, neat and precise. Location is perfect. This flat is right on the coastal walk path and 2 mins to vault beach. So it was perfect for a relaxing holiday. Mevagissy (the nearest town) was very near with lots of eating options although Gorran Haven itself had many good eating options. We loved the setting and relaxing nature of the place. We were lucky to catch a drama rehearsal and their performance as well. Hosts live below the flat and Trudi and Ted were very friendly and helpful. We couldn't reach on the time we expected, but Ted was around to welcome us and we met Trudi next day. They made us feel at home and included in the community while we were there. Totally recommend this place for holiday. Especially if you have little kids who like sandy beach and would prefer a "private beach" setting to relax in.

A Dream comes true

If you look for the Paradies, then come to this Place. Trudi and Ted are very friendly and helpful, like a second Family, Mum and Dad. The Silence in this Area is magic and healthful. The Area around is lovely and you can see so much special things. In the Village there is an Fish & Chips Restaurant, oh my god is this yummie. The Time is running to fast and we miss the Time in Trudi and Teds House, very much. Thank you for this fantastic time. Best regards from Nico and Family.
