With a splendid sense of spaciousness and plenty of stand-out holiday home features, this magnificent property offers an exceptional base for a South Cornwall getaway. In an admirable seafront location with a furnished terrace and its own outdoor games room, you can really adopt outdoor living when staying here throughout the summer months. The panoramic sea views are also well-visible from the first-floor lounge area, ensuring you can still admire these mighty seascapes and spot pods of dolphins from indoors whilst enjoying a cosy atmosphere. The property is exceptionally well-proportioned with space for 10 guests and two dogs – a great retreat for family or friends.

On arrival, stop off in the handy utility area with laundry facilities and ample room for storing beach equipment or other outdoor gear. You can then access the kitchen/diner, a bright, optimistic space with all the cooking necessities. Four out of five bedrooms are situated down here on the ground floor, two of which are presented with en-suite bathrooms. A final family bathroom serves the other two bedrooms. The last bedroom, a double with a further en-suite, is just upstairs. You’ll find a lovely lounge on the first floor with a warming electric fire and a Smart TV. Finally, step out onto the patio to take in those 360 sea views, fire up the BBQ or simply dine alfresco.

Perched high above the Porthleven Cliffs, this property is situated on the brink of the Lizard Heritage Coast with Porthleven’s town and beach around half a mile away. This harbour town is a space for crabbing, rock pooling and bodyboarding, complete with plenty of local eateries to frequent. Further afield, follow the majestic South West Coast Path to discover exciting destinations close by, taking a walk to the Lizard Point (11 miles) or heading to Marazion (8.5 miles) to take a trip to St Michael’s Mount (10 miles).

Property on the whole ideal for a large family holiday, looking tired and needed TLC. Would recommend if place was cleaned as expected having a 5pm arrival time.

We had a lovely stay at Tripolitania. The house is very spacious and comfortable. The views are incredible and the location couldnt be better just a short walk down to Porthleven harbour. Weve stayed before and would stay here again. Its not modern but has lots of character and made for a lovely base for our family holiday.

The living accommodation was excellent with decent fixtures and fittings. The beds were comfortable and the sofas in the lounge were very comfortable. The property was well cleaned. The outside space would be excellent during better weather as it is quite extensive. There is plenty of parking space. The property has great views over the sea and is Read moreonly a short distance from the centre of Porthleven. Hide

Great location with great views but a very tired property that could do with a lot of maintenance to make it a great property. Also wasn't made aware there was building works going on behind the property from 8.15 in the morning everyday.

The property is advertised as 3 double bedrooms en suite but in fact one of the double bedrooms shares a bathroom (jack & gill style) with a twin bedroom.
