Ideally located footsteps away from Porthleven Beach, this welcoming cottage for friends or family is cosy and comfortable, complete with a split-level garden boasting far-reaching sea views.

As you step into the living area, you’ll immediately feel a sense of calm and relaxation wash over you, where the two comfortable sofas create a cosy space for you to unwind with your loved ones. The compact kitchen is thoughtfully designed with bright and practical features that make cooking a breeze. Once you’ve cooked up a hearty meal, sit at the wooden table in the homely dining room and enjoy your feast. There’s also a convenient utility room on the ground floor. The charming cottage-style staircase leads you to the first floor, where you’ll find two peaceful bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom’s neutral colours and plush double bed provide the perfect retreat for a good night’s sleep, while the second bedroom features two comfortable single beds. And when it’s time to unwind, the tranquil bathroom is the perfect spot for a relaxing bubble bath. Venture outside, and you’ll discover a picturesque garden with two areas. The sheltered courtyard is ideal for soaking up the sun and enjoying some peace and quiet. Up the steps, you’ll find a raised garden with stunning sea views and a picnic bench for a delightful outdoor dining experience.

Take a stroll around the picturesque village of Porthleven and explore the quaint shops, galleries and cafes. With the beach practically on your doorstep, bucket and spade days are a must for sandcastle building, rock pooling, paddling and swimming. Take a scenic hike along the South West Coast Path to the stunning Loe Bar Beach and the picturesque Loe, the largest natural freshwater lake in Cornwall, 1.5 miles away.

Lovely cottage, perfect position and well appointed inside. Very spacious and nice layout. Everything you need for a lovely holiday in Porthleven. Parking a real bonus even if a bit tight for bigger cars. Would stay again.

We relaxed as soon as we arrived! We loved being able to walk over the road and be on the beach but also being able to retreat away when we needed a rest. The house was fresh and felt loved. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we could need. The beds were comfy! We used the parking for unloading and loading on arrival/departure but parkedRead more in the harbour or opposite The Atlantic Inn aside from then - we knew our car wasn't small so would likely not fit well (it fitted but so tightly it felt as though it was going to end in wiping it down a wall at some point if we did it often!) but being able to park close for those days was great and it was easy to find parking close-by that was better sized for our car when we needed it. There's an outside tap for washing down muddy or sandy things which we found really helpful. The location is great, both for Porthleven but also for the surrounding area. Plenty to do without getting into the car, and even more if you do. All in all we loved it and would happily have stayed for another week! Hide

A lovely cottage, seconds away from the beach. Perfect for our needs. This is our second time here and will probably return again. The only down side is a small parking space but at least it has one. Would highly recommend.
