Property code: OC-HAUGHT

An exquisite coastal property set on a secluded cliff-top location with sweeping ocean vistas across the fishing port of Porthleven. This luxurious retreat is perfect for a celebratory escape with family and friends plus a couple of honorary four-pawed members. Glide along the rugged Cornish coastline to explore hidden coves and rock caves on a guided SUP session from Porthleven Harbour (1 mile), before cracking open a chilled sundowner on the magnificent glass-fronted deck.

This elegant three-story property oozes sophisticated beach house charm. Picture crisp white hues, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and subtle nautical detailing. Unravel outdoor layers in the hallway before being lulled in the striking lounge bathed in natural light. Slide open the impressive patio doors and bask in breezy indoor-outdoor living as you sink onto the soft fabric sofas with a tipple. Unwind with a film on the Smart TV or stretch out in the warmth of the crackling wood burner. Stepping down, discover an elegant open-plan kitchen/diner. Shake up a selection of pre-dinner cocktails at the glossy stone island while the resident chef cooks up a storm. Feast around the long table with a glistening coastal backdrop or dine al fresco on the balcony. Slip into the soft linens of the king room with private patio access. Ascend to the second floor to find a tranquil double and twin nestled in the eaves of the property, each with private en-suites. Enjoy a sizzling BBQ lunch on the deck then drink in an iconic Porthleven sunset from the balcony.

Embark on a leisurely stroll along the sprawling golden sands of Porthleven Beach (200 metres) before tucking into an unbeatably fresh seafood platter on the bustling harbourfront of Porthleven (500 metres). Follow the rugged coastal path to Loe Bar (1 mile) then refuel with cakes at the beachfront cafe.

Location, view and space is stunning but cleanliness was pretty awful and was dealt with very unprofessionally.

Lovely property in beautiful seafront position, outstanding view from comfortable kitchen/diner and lounge areas and set over three floors, all with sea views. Great to have private parking area immediately in front, a sought after attribute in this area. Comfortable furnishings, high quality kitchen appliances, just a few minor issues need attRead moreention in this premium property, such as loose/faulty internal door handles and shower and bath water temperature adjustment.

Property was lovely, just a couple of niggles. Lots of light switches that didnt seem to turn any lights on. Fridge door a bit rusty patio door from kitchen heavy and not running well. But these are just little jiggles that didnt spoil a lovely holiday and lovely view

The reasons for our not so perfect evaluation: Dishwasher did not work (that fact could even be read in former reviews pn tripadvisor) / the floor on the porch/terrace was broken and uneven / some chairs on the terrace were wobbly.

We keep coming back here because it has everything we need in a holiday cottage. Amazon sea view, dog friendly, log burner, parking and a semi safe garden for the dogs. Porthleven is just a short walk away and has lovely restaurants and a couple of pubs.
