Property code: OC-QUAYSI

This stylish apartment overlooks the picturesque harbour at Porthleven. Sleeping four guests, the property is perfect for couples and small families. Wander out of your front door and into the hustle and bustle of the harbour, with its fantastic cafes and restaurants. The area is a haven for walkers, with a 3-mile beach stretching away from the town, as well as the dramatic South West Coast Path. In the evenings, relax in the open-plan living area, taking in the stunning sea views.

An external flight of stairs leads to this glorious waterside apartment. The main living area is a sociable, open-plan space comprising a lounge/kitchen/diner and is decorated in a contemporary style. Spend time here, reclining on the plump sofa, testing out new recipes in the stylish kitchen area, and sharing memorable mealtimes around the table whilst watching the boats bobbing in the harbour. A welcoming twin bedroom and a shower room are also on this level. Upstairs, on a mezzanine floor, is the beautiful king bedroom with a glass balcony and en-suite bathroom. Outside, there’s a charming shared patio where you can sip a morning coffee at the bistro table.

Porthleven is a traditional fishing port, and you’ll always find something to watch on a walk around the lively harbour. After a stroll, pop into one of the restaurants or pubs to sample some delicious local seafood. Porthleven’s beach is sand and shingle, and is a great place for a picnic or long walk along the shoreline. It’s also a popular spot for experienced surfers. For a more buckets-and-spades-type beach, head to the family friendly Praa Sands, just 5 miles along the coast.

If you're looking for the perfect Porthleven location, right on the harbour with lovely views to the Ship, the Institute and out to sea, while still being right on the level, this is the spot for you. Beautifully appointed and maintained, this is my favorite holiday accommodation for being convenient to pretty much everything. Highly recommend!

just stayed at Quayside for one week, a totally superb location directly overlooking harbour. 1 minute walk from Harbour Inn - fantastic pub, everything so handy. No noises from any neighbours during our stay, everything was spotlessly clean and beds were really comfortable. Lovely feel to the place with it being open plan. Would jump at the chanceRead more to go again. Hide

Poor bed and mattress, duvet and pillows. My week was ruined by a bad neck all week and my partner had to stay downstairs a couple of nights because the room was too hot. A fan would be appreciated or air con.

This is our second time staying at quayside, and you can't really get a better constant view in the harbour and location, especially for included parking space too. You get a nice welcome pack and there's nothing I can think of that isn't available to use in terms of utensils. A couple of items(microwave/washing machine) have seen better days andRead more could do with an update. But won't massively affect most customers stay, we have a newborn however so did need those things for clothes and sterilising. That being said we would still return here again and we finally got to see a bit of a storm here in porthleven which is good to watch from the safety of the property. Hide
