Get away from it all in this idyllic cottage in West Cornwall. The charming holiday home is tucked away on the edge of the tiny village of Porkellis, yet is within easy reach of Cornish hotspots such as Falmouth (5 miles) and Porthleven (8 miles). The property sleeps four guests and makes a lovely couples’ retreat or base for a small family. After a day of adventure, return home to bask in the sunshine in the patio garden.
Characterful granite steps lead to the front door of this delightful holiday retreat. Inside, the cottage is decorated in calming, neutral tones and is full of personality thanks to beamed ceilings and exposed, granite walls. Enter the property into the bright and airy dining room, where you can gather for family mealtimes after a long coastal walk. From here, move through to the cosy lounge, featuring a plump sofa and armchairs arranged around a TV. Completing the ground floor is a kitchen with everything needed for a self-catering holiday. When it’s time for bed, choose from two first-floor bedrooms, a double and a twin, both with en-suite facilities. Outside, steps lead down to a pretty patio area where you can catch the late afternoon sunshine as you enjoy a glass of wine or fire up the BBQ. There is private, off-road parking for one car.
Falmouth is just 5 miles away with it's colourful vibrant atmosphere and rich maritime history. Embrace the Cornish way of life in the rugged fishing town of Porthleven. Potter around its picturesque, double harbour, before refuelling in one of the welcoming pubs or seafood restaurants. Pick up delicious local produce at the open-air markets, before striding out along the beach or the dramatic coastal paths to work up an appetite for your supper. Further afield, enjoy excursions to the cathedral city of Truro (13 miles) or the breathtakingly beautiful Lizard Peninsula (8 miles).
