4 Mowhay Cottages

4 Mowhay Cottages is a terraced cottage just outside the village of Gorran Haven on Cornwall's south coast. The property sleeps 5 in three bedrooms and welcomes one well-behaved dog. An open fire in the sitting room adds warmth on cooler evenings.

The three bedrooms include a double, a twin with zip-link beds that converts to a double on request, and a single. A bathroom with modern shower, basin and WC serves the cottage. The kitchen has an electric AGA, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. A PlayStation 3, selection of DVDs, books and games are available, along with WiFi and TV with Freeview.

An enclosed lawned garden with furniture provides outdoor space, and there is garage storage alongside off-road parking for one car. The village shop and pub in Gorran Haven are a 15-minute walk.

Hemmick Beach - a secluded sandy cove with clear water for swimming and snorkelling - lies 0.6 miles away. Gorran Haven Beach, a sheltered crescent of sand with a harbour wall keeping the bay calm, is 0.7 miles. The South West Coast Path passes through the village, with walks south to Dodman Point and north to Vault Beach. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are about 4 miles by road.

Nearby: Hemmick Beach (0.6 miles) and Gorran Haven Beach (0.7 miles). See our Gorran Haven guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for a family or group of five bringing one dog, close to two quiet beaches; less suited to two couples wanting separate space, since a single bathroom serves all three bedrooms.
