We offer our guests the pleasures of holiday with the comforts of home in the peaceful village of Gorran Haven.

Siturated as we are, 200 yards from the sandy beach and harbour, the coastal walks to Mevagissey and beyond in one direction and the beautiful Roseland peninsular in the other, are on our doorstep.

Bumblebees is close to the Eden project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. So many of Cornwalls lovely gardens are within easy reach.

Bumblebees has two comfortable double bedrooms on the ground floor, one of which can be a twin, each with its own spacious private bathroom (with bath and larger than normal separate shower). One of the bathrooms has disability aids. The bedrooms have Digital Free view television, radio, tea and coffee making facilities and hair dryers, and are liberally supplied with books. Wi-fi is available.

Full English breakfast is a treat with local produce, enhanced with fruit, home-made bread, jams and marmalade, when we can discuss with our guests plans for the day and catch up with the day before.

Sensitivity to guests needs is our priority. We ask visitors to let us know individual dietary requirements on booking, but we cater for vegetarians as a matter of course.

The garden overlooking the bay is a peaceful place to sit especially in the evening. There is off road parking at the top of the steep drive.

This is our 9th year in Bed and Breakfast. John, who was previously a farmer in Boscastle, sadly died last year, but Patsy, formerly a counsellor in a GP's surgery and with the Macmillan service still thoroughy enjoys this experience, meeting people and sharing with them the privilege of living in this lovely area.

There is no extra charge for single rooms, and the house is no-smoking.

Gorran Haven has a thriving village shop and Post Office. A short walk brings you to the Llawnroc Hotel, extended and completely rebuilt, with Bar meals and restaurant, and opening for Easter. The Barley Sheaf the pub in Gorran is 1 mile away.

During the day the beach cafe,The Mermaid serves snacks as does Cakebreads,the village shop. The Cliff Path cafe and the chip shop should be open from Easter.

The historic fishing village of Mevagissey is 10 minutes by car and has a wide choice of restaurants.

To the west is the lovely Roseland Peninsula going down to St. Mawes, which is a short ferry ride from Falmouth. In the other direction the Lost Gardens of Heligan are about 10 minutes away and an added 10 minutes takes you into St. Austell, and the world famous Eden Project. In St. Austell are the less well-known 30 acres of Pine Lodge Gardens, well worth a visit. National Trust gardens of Lanhydrock, Trelissick and Trerice are within easy reach.

Our central position is ideal for exploring the rest of Cornwall.
