Property code: OC-CRNEST

This stunning cottage sitting on cliffs above the beach makes an idyllic setting for a romantic holiday with awesome views of the beach from the veranda. The cosy hideaway has a welcoming living space on the ground floor, and a double bedroom and shower room on the first floor. It’s on a charming Cornish lane in Porthleven close to everything in the picturesque port town.

The cottage is on Loe Bar Road, close enough to the beach to hear the sea, and has been lovingly designed to give guests a taste of luxurious living. Cuddle up in the chic open plan living space to watch the Smart TV, the room features a stylish tiled floor and wooden beams, and French doors take you outside to the veranda. The contemporary kitchen has high-end features, including an induction hob, a Nespresso coffee machine and granite worktops, and a sweet dining area just for two. Up the wooden staircase is the double bedroom, light and bright thanks to having two windows, and the shower room. After a fun day out, head to the spacious south-facing veranda to soak up the incredible views of Mount’s Bay.

The cottage is perfectly placed to enjoy everything in Porthleven then go back to your romantic retreat. It overlooks the beach, just over 150 metres from your door and you’ll also find top class restaurants, pubs, cafes, galleries, and boutique shops nearby along the sea front. The historic harbour is a 0.5 mile walk from the cottage, home to the Harbour Market in the summer months, where you can pick up the South West Coast Path, which runs in both directions along the headland. There’s a stunning walk along the coast and inland to the famous lake Loe Pool (1.5 miles).

Perfect location in our favourite village. Magical sunrises and sunsets over the sea watched from our balcony. Cottage very well equipped, comfortable and cosy. Felt at home and completely relaxed as soon as we walked through the door. Our first stay here but it won't be our last.

Crows Nest is one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in. It has been modernised beautifully with everything we needed including a delicious cream tea on arrival. The view overlooking the beach is outstanding and the sound of the waves beguiling. We highly recommend this cottage. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A clean well equipped cottage in a great location. The property is smaller than the website photos suggest.

Under floor heating a big draw for us and it wasnt working. Clearly hadnt worked for a while so very disappointed at not being told until I complained. Electric heater left there instead not adequate and kept giving off flashes when it went on. New ones sent the next day when I said it was cold. Would Benefit from heating you can time to come on tRead moreo be warm on waking and getting in. Disappointed you couldnt do this with any radiator or control bedroom radiator temperature Missing pieces of crockery glasses and cutlery noted Settee uncomfortable and needs a more comfy foot rest than 1 cushion pouffe Water running down kitchen wall in the corner causing damp and mould problems Landing and 1 bedroom window unable to be opened. Door locks and keys rusty and need replacing Great location and views so despite issues noted had a great holiday Hide

Stunning cottage, can hear the waves going to sleep, can walk to the harbour at Porthleven so no need for a car if dont want to drive. A romantic cottage, with stunning view of the sea. A free nearby car park up a short hill . Would highly recommend
