A spacious, characterful, and delightfully quirky family-sized retreat with a private beach, for laid-back group breaks on the sparkling Cornish waterfront.
  • Sleeps: 10-12
  • Bedrooms: 5
  • Bathrooms: 5 ensuite
  • Minimum stay: 4 nights (7 in peak)

Boasting five en-suite rooms with spectacular views, you’ll find Zawn Haven along Cornwall’s pristine Fal River waterfront – part of a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Not only will you and your loved ones enjoy achingly close proximity to the bustling area’s many shops and attractions, but you’ll also get to relax in a characterful and much-loved holiday home with plenty of space for everyone. And with a private beach on hand, your four-legged friends can exert plenty of energy, too!

A former Seaman’s Bethel, the space has been beautifully renovated to retain its historic charm, and you’ll find plenty of nods to maritime life in the quirky décor.

Overlooking King Charles Quay, the first floor living area is ideal for catch-up drinks with your favourite people, gathered around the warming fireplace by evening. There’s a generous and well-equipped kitchen… though each bedroom comes with tea and coffee-making facilities, if you’re not feeling in a sociable mood!

So, what of these comfy bedrooms? Choose from the cheerful double Galley room, or the soft-toned Southerly room, with its view of the harbour. Furnished with a large pod shower en-suite, this room can be made up as a queensize or a twin.

Ideal if you’re travelling with a little one, the second-floor Easterly room includes a large bathroom and drop-arm sofa, and is decorated in rich tones of gold and blue-grey… which are sure to make you feel rather regal, as you gaze out to the superyacht-strewn harbour with a welcome cuppa.

The romantic, superking Westerly room is also on the second floor, complete with a glorious open plan bath and showcasing serene views to the hills above Flushing village.
