  • Excellent location on the seafront within easy reach of the town centre
  • Modern accommodation with stunning sea views
  • Ideal base for exploring Porthleven and the southern tip of Cornwall

Property code: OC-LAMPHO

Explore the wonders of Porthleven and the southern tip of Cornwall before coming home to a modern home located on the seafront. This remarkable home has stunning sea views and is within walking distance to the pubs, shops and restaurants.

Neutrally decorated, this reverse-level property is a relaxing home from home. Head upstairs to the open-plan lounge/diner which is a great spot for socialising over a cuppa or two, while the pillowy sofas provide endless comfort. Lap up the magnificent sea views over fish dishes and bottles of wine at the dining table situated near the window, or treat the group to a seafood supper down at the local pub. Stairs lead down to both bedrooms: a king-size and a twin room with its own en-suite. Plate up at the breakfast bar to fuel a day of adventures, and enjoy your meal on the enclosed terrace with the rest of your troop.

Avid walkers, intrepid explorers and art enthusiasts will adore the location of this modern property. Right from the doorstep, guests can make the most of its sought-after location with a walk down to the centre of Porthleven. Two art galleries showcase jaw-dropping masterpieces, both half a mile from the house, while the town is also home to souvenir shops, cake and coffee stops, and many award-winning restaurants. Jump on the South West Coast Path and make the 5-mile trek over to Loe Bar to see its rugged harbour. Build sandcastles, go rock pooling and try water sports at the glistening sands of Porthleven Beach, close to your doorstep.

The Lamp House and Neptune House share an EV charger (7.4kWh charger with a Type 2 connector). Guests will be charged on a 'pay as you go' basis via an App that you will need to download. Please bring your own charge cable as this will not be supplied. Full details will be provided on arrival.

A well-located cottage- the perfect size for four of us. The view from the front windows is unbeatable. Generally well-equipped with everything we needed for a great holiday in a beautiful part of Cornwall.

Lamp house cottage is situated in the most perfect position, the views from the lounge are mesmerising and the walk down to the town is fine, about 10 minutes and youre there where there are a few restaurants and a couple of pubs. We loved every single second of our trip to a beautiful, still relaxing and peaceful part of Cornwall.

Wonderful location and views from the lounge. Perfectly positioned for walking the Coastal Path. Enjoyed the open plan first floor which meant no one was isolated while cooking meals. We could tell the owners used the house themselves as it was so well equipped. Had a great meal at the Harbour Inn.

This is an excellent property, the location is brilliant and the views from the living area are sublime. The kitchen is well equipped and everything functioned as it should do. The bedrooms were comfortable and the hot water/heating was very good. The Lamp House is highly recommended and we would definitely return.

We have just returned from a fabulous fortnight in Porthleven, what a lovely Cornish harbour. The Lamp House is a wonderfully well equipped comfy dog friendly property with the most spectacular sea views. We have already recommended this property to family & hope to return in the not to distant future.

Beautiful house with an absolutely stunning view. Lovely walks straight from the front door. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, the best we have found in holiday accommodation. We would have no hesitation in recommending The Lamp House.

Beautiful views and comfortable cottage. Good weather - unfortunately no garden furniture - this was a shame as it was included on the property information and we werent able to sit outside. Perhaps you could check this for other occupants? Very disappointed we could not sit outside
