  • Modern 18th-century traditional cottage on the seafront at Porthleven
  • Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with coastal views and just metres from the beach
  • Large glass-fronted balcony accessible from all three bedrooms
Property code: OC-MOTTHO

Luxuriate in the panoramic sea views from the glass-fronted balcony at this exceptional coastal holiday home in Porthleven. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom retreat enjoys an enviable position overlooking the sandy and rocky beach in the Cornish town. It is also well located for strolling to shops, restaurants, pubs and the harbour, and for picking up the South West Coast Path, with its scenic walks.

Enter the cottage, which dates back to the 1900s, but has a contemporary feel throughout, at ground-floor level. Here you will find a stylish lounge/diner, with picture windows capturing the coastal vistas, and a wood burner, set into an original stone chimney breast, to stoke up on chilly days as you settle down in front of the Smart TV. This sun-soaked living space flows easily into the chic kitchen/diner, where you will find everything you need to help you cater for your party, and another table where you can enjoy your meals as you gaze out to sea. A family bathroom and a WC are also downstairs. A second family bathroom is up on the first floor, together with two light-filled double bedrooms and a twin, all with glass doors offering sea views and access to the balcony. Spill out on to the sunny balcony at every opportunity. Dine out here, have afternoon tea or open a bottle of chilled wine in the evening. Parking for this property is in nearby pay car parks.

Wander over the road to the beach to dip in the sea and make castles on the sand. Praa Sands, 5 miles away, is a much larger sweep of golden beach and also a firm favourite with families on bucket and spade breaks. Those who enjoy water sports can try their hand at kayaking or paddleboarding from the harbour at Porthleven.

Really liked Mott House. The outside could have been maintained better as it will take a beating from sea and weather and weeds taken up. Generally very good, good general equipment and clean but let down by a few things that should have been checked and replaced. Duvets change yearly, one was very stained and not acceptable at all. Check toilet seRead moreats often loose. Keep any grubby walls painted. We did enjoy our stay. Thanks. Hide

Mott House was a fantastic place to stay for a week to celebrate a 70th birthday. The location was beautiful, the property was spotlessly clean and everyone in our group, aged from 6 to 70 thoroughly enjoyed. I would highly recommend this house and hope to return sometime in the future. It most definitely had the Wow factor!

A superb property with stunning views - what more could you ask for. I would definitely recommend Mott house and would more than likely book again. From start to finish I was made to feel at ease with updates and anything that may affect my stay at the house. A big thanks to all concerned.
