House By The Beach is a very local business letting properties in Gorran Haven and the surrounding area (encompassing about 6 square miles!)See below for Summer weeks still available:
Just recently however I've branched out to a couple of places slightly further afield: along the Roseland Coast heading westwards Portloe and St Mawes. And on the north coast, a lovely house in Rock - Padilly.
The properties all belong to friends and I look after them on a small personal scale with lots of local help.
They are all different - if you would like help deciding which would suit you best, do phone or email me and I'll advise.
Gorran Haven and Portloe are small villages half way down the south coast of Cornwall, set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with good beaches and fine walks.
The area of Cornwall known as the Roseland is the stretch of coast from Gorran to St Mawes and is characterised by gentle rolling countryside, dramatic cliff and coastal scenery and unspoiled beaches. There are no major roads and Truro, the nearest town, is about 12 miles distant. This area is nicely off the beaten track. Locally, there are good small shops, pubs and restaurants and the people living here are friendly.
It is a lovely place to live and work and a good place for a holiday at any time of the year.
In Summer the safe sandy village beach is ideal for families with children of any age, plenty of paddling, rock pools, swimming and even jumping off the quay at high tide to be enjoyed, along with a convenient small beach café serving good quality food and ice creams. For those wanting a quieter time, there are other beaches nearby that can be reached by cliff top and inland circular walks.
The properties are different, but all are within easy reach of beaches.
A few are tucked inland near Gorran - this area has fine old fashioned countryside with small traditional farms and a few tiny hamlets. The landscape is made up of small fields, woodland and good Cornish hedgerows with many mature trees. On this little peninsular you are never more than a couple of miles from the sea.
A couple of the houses are in Mevagissey - a busy little fishing village with shops restaurants, fishing trips and a ferry to Fowey.
All the houses are family friendly. A few are happy to take a dog (Alba, Doubtnot, 8 Coastguard & Treverrion).
