Meadowcroft, Rattle Street, Gorran Haven

Meadow Croft is a lovely, comfortable detached cottage in the heart of Gorran Haven, moments from the beach. It is surrounded by a pretty, south facing garden, a perfect place to relax. Meadow Croft is tucked away behind the main street of the village, on a cobbled pedestrian-only lane. The cottage garden is complete with Summer house and – (rather less traditionally) - a hot shower in the garden! It is 70 yards from Gorran Haven beach. From the master bedroom there is a lovely view of the Gwineas rocks which are set in the bay off Gorran Haven.

Through a wrought iron gate in a high wall topped by flowers, a path leads up to the front door. Lawns either side of the path with borders a tangled riot of California Poppy and roses. A raised patio in front of the cottage has outdoor seating under a pergola covered with Jasmine and Passion Flower. The quiet street is hidden by bamboo, tree fern and palms – courtesy of warm sea air.

Along the side of the cottage a path leads to a paved terrace and BBQ area outside the kitchen. Here there is also a hot shower – perfect after an evening swim. Part of this area is under cover and has a large wooden box for logs, plus BBQ and spare outdoor seating.

Location &Parking:

The cottage is on ‘Rattle Street’, a pedestrian only street about 20 yards from ‘Canton’ (the main street leading to the sea). The village bakery and main shop is on Canton a two minute walk from the cottage and there is sometimes a lovely smell of baking bread hereabouts.

It is possible to stop and unload near the entrance to Rattle Street, but parking must be either in the village carpark about 100 yards away, or on a parking space owned by the cottage about 120 yards away. It is possible to park on Canton from 6pm to 8am, if you can find a space!
