This is a great cottage in a wonderful position, which meant we had a lovely holiday break. The cottage is extremely cosy and well equipped and the beds comfortable, the only thing that stopped us giving it an overall rating of ten is that we found the bathroom a little on the small side, but it wouldn't deter us from staying there again in the future. It was a lovely place to stay.

We had the most wonderful holiday here.
We had the most wonderful holiday here. We couldn’t have asked for a better location. We wanted somewhere private where we wouldn’t need to travel (given the recent pandemic) and we weren’t disappointed.
Sea view is immaculate. Stylish, comfortable - the little touches were very welcome and I’m so glad they had binoculars as I saw a seal twenty minutes after arriving.
The location couldn’t be better and Gorran Haven is the perfect place for little ones. I don’t think they’ll ever forget their holiday. They were pleased to find everything they’d need for the beach at the cottage too!
Thank you so much, Chris and Denny. I’m so glad we booked with you.

We had a fabulous 4 night stay in October! Seaview is cozy, well equipped and most importantly for us VERY close to the sea. Loved lying in bed listening to the waves and watching them crash against the harbour. Gorran Haven is a lovely little place and not too touristy at this time of year. Really want to return to Seaview. We would highly recommend!

We had a lovely week at Seaview.
We had a lovely week at Seaview. We were lucky to have unseasonably warm and sunny weather for February, which added to our enjoyment, but the cottage in such a beautiful location that the good weather was just an extra bonus.
We found the cottage to be warm, comfortable and very well equipped and there was a comprehensive folder of information and equipment instructions. We also got an email and a phone call from the owner before we went giving lots of information and ideas, which we felt was very helpful. The spot on the landing with the two armchairs by the window and a view over the bay was a superb place to sit and relax. Wifi and the smart tv's gave easy access to entertainment options through apps such as iPlayer.
Despite the small size of the village, the amenities are adequate. The chip shop sells a good range of food and Cakebreads sells a range of groceries as well as newspapers, fresh bread and cakes. It also sold fresh cooked pizzas one evening. There is another shop selling everything you might need for the beach and a couple of cafes, but, being out of season, these weren't open.
The coast path passes the front gate and we enjoyed walks in both directions from here, as well as driving out to walk other sections of the path. The coast path website is comprehensive and a good source of walks and information.

ideal spot for a quite break out of season and highly desirable for young families during the school holidays as close to the beach as you can get. Decent TV and broadband which is a bonus in any holiday home.

Seaview is in a super location, almost on the beach, in the lovely old village of Gorran Haven.
Seaview is in a super location, almost on the beach, in the lovely old village of Gorran Haven. The views of the sea and the coast from the landing windows are great. Parking on the street not a problem when we were there in May. Access to coastal path taking you to The Dodman is on the doorstep and worth the effort. Shop across the road sells most things, plus it has an outside, covered cafe/bar plus there is the Mermaid Cafe on the beach. The house is comfortably furnished and well decorated.

This is a lovely cottage.
This is a lovely cottage. Perfect for families. The outside utility is well equipped with beach chairs, bodyboards, crabbing lines/ nets, beach toys etc. The views are amazing. Local amenities are great. The coastal path is outside the door. Parking for the week is £24 . The car park is just a short couple of minutes walk away. We felt safe leaving the car here and didn’t use it for the first 3 days. Everything is on the door step! Beds are comfy and bed linen is included but you need to bring your own towels.This is the second time we have stayed here and will be back!
