About this property
Perched on the coast, a stone's throw away from the beach in Gorran Haven, Cornwall is this delightful, single-storey cabin of The Moonbeach Cabin. The perfect setting for a couple looking to escape the hustle and bustle, The Moonbeach Cabin enjoys access to a range of The Roseland Heritage Coast's sights, along with being within reach of some of Cornwall's iconic towns. Upon entering the cabin, you'll be pleased to uncover an open-plan living space where everything you need for a self-catering getaway can be found at your fingertips. Cosy up on the sofa with your partner after a day packed with fun and switch on the TV to enjoy your favourite movie. After relaxing together, progress to the galley kitchen to uncover a selection of appliances to create mouthwatering meals with. These meals can be enjoyed as a romantic meal for two at the dining table; why not open a bottle of fizz and make a toast to this blissful break? As the day winds to a close, freshen up in the well-presented shower room before retiring to the double bedroom; the sofa in the sitting area can also be opened out to become a bed, for added flexibility. On sunny days, be sure to sit out on the patio and savour a cold beverage as you soak up the sea breeze, before wandering down to the lovely beach to savour an afternoon packed with sunbathing and watersports! When you want to take a break from cooking, be sure to visit one of Gorran Haven's eateries, including a fantastic fish & chips shop, along with a welcoming pub, The Barley Sheaf, where you can enjoy wholesome meals and local ale. Travel to Mevagissey for a lovely day out, where Mevagissey Museum and Mevagissey Aqaurium are bound to entertain you, whilst the harbour is an idyllic place to unwind as you watch the boats bob along the coast. Why not spend the day in St Austell, a charming town boasting access to The Cornwall Hotel & Spa, if you'd like to spend the day getting pampered, the Wheal Martyn Clay Works, if you want to explore the local history, and the Eden Project, where you can explore breathtaking biomes. Hike along the South West Coast Path to come across more seaside escapades nearby; alternatively, why not visit Truro, Bodmin or Newquay, where even more attractions can be found? A marvellous stay for two awaits at The Moonbeach Cabin.
Gorran Haven, on Cornwall's south coast, was formerly a crab fishing community and is now a great base for exploring the area's various beaches and bays. Gorran Haven features a small sandy beach behind a classic sea wall that connects to the wider Great Perhaver beach at low tide, making it a popular family beach. The National Trust owns much of the shoreline in this region, which is easily accessible from the South West Coast Path.

We liked it very much. A charming and individual place with a sea view based central in the village. 100 meters to the beach, cafe, small supermarket or costal path. There is central parking nearby (250m, 35£ per week). If you are a very straight person who likes his garden in order and symmetry you'll have to go somewhere else. If you want an accomodation with atmosphere you should book.

The cabin was perfect for us, really well equipped and comfortable. It was lovely to have a beautiful view of the sea from the garden and the cabin and to hear the sea in the evenings. The location is excellent with the beach (which our dog particularly loved) , shops and cafes all on the doorstep. We also enjoyed an evening drink at the outdoor bar that cakebreads run. This place has a lovely community feel and the cabin was wonderful, we will definitely be back!
