Our Location

Nestled in the charming village of Gorran Churchtown, Hillside Cottage is a picturesque, whitewashed haven in Cornwall’s designated “National Landscape” (formerly known as an AONB – Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). You’ll be just a mile from the sandy shores of Gorran Haven beach and three miles southwest of the popular fishing village of Mevagissey.

Heritage & Comfort

Originally two separate cottages dating back to the 1800s, Hillside Cottage has been thoughtfully combined, extended, and modernised to offer the perfect blend of character and contemporary comfort. We’ve preserved the cottage’s charm with low beamed ceilings, period-style sash windows, and traditional ledged and braced doors downstairs. You’ll find an original fireplace with a cloam oven and a second fireplace featuring a cosy wood-burning stove.

For your modern conveniences, the cottage boasts a fitted kitchen, an en-suite bathroom, a family shower room, gas central heating, and complimentary broadband and wireless internet. Our recent addition, a lovely sun lounge, opens onto a large slate patio, leading to a spacious, sunny, and secluded rear garden – perfect for relaxing!
