About this property
Goonhavern 0.8 miles. Porthcurno 5 is a pleasant caravan in Perranwell, Cornwall, with off-road parking available, on-site EV charging, enclosed decking, and a bright open-plan living space that suits families or friends looking for a Cornish break close to the beach. From the moment you arrive, the deck offers an easy first pause before you step inside and make this single-storey stay your own. The main living area brings everything together in one sociable space, so the day can move easily from lazy breakfasts to relaxed evenings in. The kitchen is set up for self-catered stays, while the dining area gives everyone a place to gather over supper or plan the days ahead.
In the sitting area, the electric fire adds a gentle glow, with room to stretch out or make use of the double sofa bed when needed. Two bedrooms, a double and a twin, both with TVs, offer flexibility, alongside a bathroom with walk-in shower. Step outside and your location opens up a wide stretch of Cornwall to explore. In nearby Truro, wander through Truro Cathedral, explore the displays at the Royal Cornwall Museum, or take a stroll along the green spaces of Victoria Gardens. Head towards the coast to Perranporth, where the sweeping sands invite long beach days, coastal walks along the South West Coast Path, and visits to the dramatic cliffs at Cligga Head.
Alternatively, spend time in Falmouth, home to the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, the historic stronghold of Pendennis Castle, and the scenic waterside at Events Square. With so much to discover before returning for evenings on the deck, Porthcurno 5 makes a straightforward base for your Cornish break.
Goonhavern is a small Cornish village in an excellent position just two and a half miles inland from Perranporth, which lies in the heart of Poldark country, the setting for the novels of Winston Graham, who lived in Perranporth in the 1930s. Goonhavern is an active community with a traditional inn, village shop, garden centre and children’s playground. Once known as the source of the finest tin, the community still retains reminders of their rich heritage including abandoned pump houses, mine shafts and workers’ cottages. The nearby town of Perranporth has a beautiful sandy beach which at low tide stretches to three miles long and is overlooked by craggy rocks suitable for rock pooling. The beach is lifeguarded in summer, providing a popular family destination and hosted the 2016 British National Surfing Championships. Perranporth also offers a small selection of shops, restaurants and pubs including The Watering Hole, a unique pub situated on the sand in the middle of the beach offering live entertainment with a great atmosphere, good food and an amazing view of the sunset! The local Blue Hills museum and Perranzabuloe Folk Museum are both well worth a visit to understand the rich heritage of this coastal area.
