House By The Beach has always been a very local business letting properties in Gorran Haven and the surrounding area
(encompassing about 6 square miles!)

Just recently however I've branched out to a couple of other areas - wild & wonderful - viz. Rock and St Mawes.

As usual, the properties belong to friends and I look after them on a small personal scale with lots of local help.

Have a look at Padilly in Rock & Smuggler's Corner in St Mawes - lovely houses.

Gorran Haven is a small village half way down the south coast of Cornwall, set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with good beaches and fine walks.

This part of Cornwall has gentle rolling countryside, dramatic cliff and coastal scenery and unspoiled beaches. Well away from main roads and with the nearest town 12 miles distant, it 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.
