Enter into the bright and airy lounge which has a wall-mounted TV and seating where you can curl up and get stuck into your favourite shows after a busy day exploring.

Mizpah is a beautiful cosy cottage in a wonderful location. Wonderful Sea Views with a 5 minute stroll onto the Harbour front. Spotlessly clean and a convenient private parking space.We would definitely return to Mizpah for another visit to Porthleven.

This property is in a perfect location. Stunning views to the front of the property. We used the one parking space- but there were no problems at all parking the second car on the streets not too far from the property. Everything that Porthleven has to offer is on your doorstep - a good choice of pubs and places to eat. Steps down to the beach justRead more outside the property. Love our stay. The bunk beds are suitable for adults. Hide

Unfortunately not. Not even for a young family with pushchair. A small coffee table in the lounge area would have been helpful.
