This Cornish hideaway enjoys a peaceful setting on the edge of the quaint village of Porkellis. The property sleeps three guests and is the perfect base for couples and small families looking to explore the rugged coastline of West Cornwall. The vibrant harbour town of Falmouth is 5 miles away and you can also spend the day immersed in the wild beauty of the Lizard Peninsula (8 miles).
The traditional stone cottage is warm and inviting, with characterful original features, floral fabrics, and homely touches throughout. Enter the bright kitchen/diner, where you can prepare hearty dinners after a day at the beach and gather at the pretty table by the window for family mealtimes. A few steps lead to the lounge – the ideal spot to unwind with a good book or a classic film on the TV/DVD. To the rear of the cottage is a double bedroom with a compact en-suite shower room. From the kitchen area, an open staircase leads to a single bedroom. Outside, there is an enclosed patio garden with outdoor furniture, surrounded by pretty flowers and shrubs. Spend time here, sipping a sundowner or sharing a family BBQ in the sunshine. Parking is available for one car.
