Feel rejuvenated by the sights and sounds of the sea with a stay in Porthleven on Cornwall’s south coast. This mighty three-bedroom holiday home sits proudly on the seafront, boasting exceptional sea views that are a joy to wake up to every single morning. The two-storey property is incredibly spacious with room for up to five guests and two dogs to stay, an ideal choice for any larger group of holidaymakers or an extended family relishing a long-awaited get-together. Truly a fantastic option for those hoping to keep kids busy, you’ll find games and table football to fill those long, restful evenings.

High ceilings, bay windows and bright décor add to the overall convivial feel of this fantastic holiday home. A large lounge at the front of the property offers stunning views and plenty of comfortable seating whilst a separate dining room provides a great space for dining and socialising.  The large outdoor deck at the front of the property offers more seating and dining space, where the whole family can enjoy delicious meals with stunning views over the ocean.  A versatile utility-come-shower room can also be found on the ground floor. Three bedrooms are laid out over the first floor, one of which is a king-size with an en-suite bathroom and incredible sea views.

Porthleven is an exceptionally vibrant town with a golden sand beach, a bustling harbour (both 0.5 miles), and some foodie-approved destinations that you simply must try.

A lovely property in a great location. The sea views are amazing. The walk to the harbour (and back) is short and anaerobic but well worth it, Porthleven is a fantastic location.

A lovely house that is really spacious for 6 people. The views of the stormy sea and winds were fantastic, with immediate access to the coast path and also a circular route down to Methleigh Bottom. A quick walk down to the village, with a cardio workout on the way back, and never a problem parking on the road outside, or very near by. The childrRead moreen enjoyed playing in the garden on the non-stormy days, but the storms and huge waves are part of the attraction of Porthleven! As well as the Shipyard Market, interesting shops, lovely walks and great selection of pubs, restaurants, cafes and coffee shops. The house is very comfortable with comfy sofas and beds, well-equipped kitchen, plenty of hot water and all the facilities you would expect at home. Thank you for a lovely stay. Hide

Bay Villa is a lovely house in a fantastic location, just a few minutes walk from Porthleven's vibrant harbour, with wonderful views of the sea. It was perfect for our family of two grandparents, two parents, three children and two dogs. We loved having breakfast at the top table in the back garden when we could see eastwards way down the coast, anRead mored an aperitif followed by dinner in the evening sun on the front terrace (when it was not too windy).
