LOCATION 2a Coastguard Cottages is situated on Cliff Road which is a street within this picturesque Cornish fishing village which follows the coastline up out of the village. This charming, peaceful location is some a couple of minutes’ walk away from the centre of the village and the seafront. Gorran Haven has become an increasingly sought after location in recent years offering a local shop, post office, a primary school, hairdressers, a village hall and churches. Gorran Haven Beach is sheltered behind a large stone quay which is picture postcard beautiful and boats can be launched from the beach. The village is centred around the beach and the sea which has high cliff headlands on either side providing a sheltered coastal environment and many of the properties surrounding the beach are original fisherman’s cottages or were associated with the fishing industry. The beach offers boating and water sports facilities, together with scenic walks along the coastal footpath in either direction, with much of the surrounding land being under National Trust stewardship. Other local attractions include the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Eden Project, Caerhays Castle and the beautiful Vault Beach just over the headland. There is easy access to the major commercial centres of Truro and St Austell which offer excellent and ever improving shopping, commercial and leisure facilities, both state and private schooling and both have mainline stations which provide a direct link to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4½ hours.

The nearby village of Mevagissey offers a further array of shops and restaurants and fishing trips can be booked from the picturesque inner and outer harbours. There are sailing clubs at the nearby beaches of Porthpean and Pentewan with deep water moorings available at Fowey and St Mawes, swinging moorings are also available in Gorran Haven during the summer. Communications with this particular part of Cornwall have improved over recent years with the A30 being dual carriageway all the way to Exeter where it joins the national motorway network. To the west lies Newquay Airport providing an ever increasing variety of flights to London and other UK and European airports.
