This âhome from homeâ is truly delightful: all the facilities we needed; a terrific location; and friendly locals always happy to stop and have a chat (gossip). Gorran Haven is a lovely place to live and stay on holiday, with so many attractive places to visit close by - Heliganâs gardens, Vault Beach, Porthluney Cove Beach, Mevagissey, the coast path, to mention just a few. The welcome pack was very ⦠well welcome! A lovely host ensured our stay provided us with the break we wanted and needed. Dawn and Paul, and the dogs Charlie and Finn.
