Explore the Beautiful Roseland Peninsula
Goviley is located along a quiet farm lane, just 1.5 miles from the village of Tregony, often referred to as the "Gateway to the Roseland Peninsula." This unspoilt village is nestled within rolling farmland, yet remains close to the stunning Cornish coast. Tregony is home to a variety of local amenities, including a general store with post office, church, chapel, hairdressers, doctors’ surgery, dentist, and a friendly local pub, The Kings Arms.
We are also conveniently located less than 10 miles from St Austell, home to the world-renowned Eden Project, and the historic Cathedral City of Truro. Both offer a wide range of shops, banks, pubs, and restaurants, perfect for a day out or a spot of retail therapy.
The Roseland Peninsula is a hidden gem of South Cornwall, known for its breathtaking coastal scenery, much of which is protected by the National Trust. With dramatic cliffs, headlands, and secluded coves, it’s the perfect place to explore on foot or by bike. The peninsula boasts golden sandy beaches, calm creeks, and charming fishing villages, offering something for everyone. Thanks to the area’s unique microclimate, the weather is often more temperate than expected, making it a fantastic year-round destination.
Our central location means you’re never far from some of Cornwall’s most beloved sights. We're less than 2 miles from the nearest sandy beaches on the South Cornish coast, which are quieter and more family-friendly than the rugged beaches to the north. You can also easily access the stunning coastal footpaths that wind along the cliff tops, offering breathtaking views over the sea.
The Roseland is home to delightful villages like Veryan, famous for its quaint round houses, and St Just-in-Roseland, where you’ll find a beautiful church set in lush gardens at the head of a peaceful creek. At the tip of the peninsula lies St Mawes, offering spectacular views over the Fal Estuary.
Whether you're looking to explore Cornwall's rich history, its lush gardens, or simply enjoy the tranquil beauty of the countryside, Goviley offers the perfect base for your Cornish holiday.
