Escape with your loved one to this charming Cornish retreat in the bustling harbour town of Porthleven. This gorgeous traditional property has lovely thick stone walls, wooden ceiling beams and traditional arched windows in the bathroom for a trip steeped in history, and with all your creature comforts catered for. You’ll have a wonderful sandy beach 0.5 miles away and wonderful coastal walking opportunities within 1 mile. With one super-king-size bedroom, this accommodation is just right for a solo traveller or a romantic stay with a partner.

The bright and airy apartment has been modernised to a high standard, and features a lovely nautical-inspired decor to inspire you during your stay. In the open-plan living area, you’ll have a welcoming sofa and Smart TV all ready for relaxing. The modern kitchen is ideal for cooking yummy meals, perhaps using freshly caught seafood purchased nearby, while the cosy bedroom has a charming feature fireplace. Outside, the sunny patio creates an ideal spot for enjoying breakfast in the fresh air. It’s furnished with a bistro set and there’s a handy shower attachment for rinsing off sandy feet and swim gear.

The property is in a handy location with pubs, shops and quirky shops all within walking distance (400 metres). For an enchanting coastal walk, we recommend joining the South West Coast Path (1 mile) and following it along to The Loe (3 miles), a large freshwater lake. If you’re feeling energetic, continue to Gunwalloe (4.5 miles) where a listed medieval church sits between two spectacular coves. At Marazion, 9 miles in the opposite direction, you can take a boat to the tidal island of St Michael’s Mount.

The Gables is in a good location and very comfy in every way. Dedicated car parking really helped us too. The washing machine and dryer came in handy as we'd already been away for a week elsewhere before we got to Porthleven. Our 2nd stay, and very nice it was too!

A Beautiful fully equipped clean cosy cottage in a great location, close drive to local coastal resorts. Literally five minutes walk to restaurants, shops, pubs. Driveway is a little on the tight side if you have a huge car width wise. We have a Peugeot 3008 which was ok. We would definitely stay at the Gables again. Loved everything about it..

It is in a prime location to the harbour (2 minutes walk). You walk in and immediately know that the property is exactly what you were looking for - only shame it was just for a week for me. Porthleven is vibrant with so much to see and do, and is a great base to explore/ re-explore this part of Cornwall. Well worth the six hour drive from Essex, wRead moreill be coming back again soon.

Everything was to a high standard which we were expecting and location was perfect being so close to the harbour, beach and many lovely restaurants. The reason for the 4 score on booking again is only because we hope to visit many other places /countries and may not return to Cornwall very soon.
