Hillside Cottage is a detached, picturesque whitewashed cottage in the village of Gorran Churchtown in Cornwall’s ‘National Landscape’ formally known as an AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). Located just one mile from the sandy beach at Gorran Haven and South West Coastal path and three miles South West of the popular fishing harbour of Mevagissey. The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Charlestown and The Eden Project are all easily accessible.
Gorran Churchtown is a quaint village complete with award winning pub listed in the Michelin guide, a shop/post office and parish church. Gorran Haven offers further shops, an award winning fish and chip shop and cafes.
Originally laid out as two separate cottages dating back to the 1800s, Hillside Cottage has been combined and extensively extended and modernised. We have retained the character of the original properties with low beamed ceilings, period style sash windows, ledged and braced doors downstairs, original fireplace with cloam oven and a second fireplace with a wood burning stove. For those modern luxuries there is a fitted kitchen, en-suite bathroom, family shower room, gas central heating, broadband and wireless internet. More recently we have added a sun lounge, which opens onto a large slate patio, to enjoy the large, sunny, secluded rear garden.
Guest access
Guests will have access to the entire cottage and the gardens. The garage and some cupboards in the property are locked as they are for staff use only.
Other things to note
The super king bed can be split into twin beds on request at the time of booking.
A travel cot is provided but please bring your own linen for it. Please note that the base (mattress) is very firm as recommended and supplied by the manufacturer. Please see The Lullaby Trust for advice on the use of travel cots.
The rear garden has a number of slate steps; children should be supervised at all times.
All bedrooms have black-out lined curtains.
