Luxuriate in the panoramic sea views from the glass-fronted balcony at this exceptional coastal holiday home in Porthleven. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom retreat enjoys an enviable position overlooking the sandy and rocky beach in the Cornish town. It is also well located for strolling to shops, restaurants, pubs and the harbour, and for picking up the South West Coast Path, with its scenic walks.
Enter the cottage, which dates back to the 1900s, but has a contemporary feel throughout, at ground-floor level. Here you will find a stylish lounge/diner, with picture windows capturing the coastal vistas, and a wood burner, set into an original stone chimney breast, to stoke up on chilly days as you settle down in front of the Smart TV. This sun-soaked living space flows easily into the chic kitchen/diner, where you will find everything you need to help you cater for your party, and another table where you can enjoy your meals as you gaze out to sea. A family bathroom and a WC are also downstairs. A second family bathroom is up on the first floor, together with two light-filled double bedrooms and a twin, all with glass doors offering sea views and access to the balcony. Spill out on to the sunny balcony at every opportunity. Dine out here, have afternoon tea or open a bottle of chilled wine in the evening. Parking for this property is in nearby pay car parks.
Wander over the road to the beach to dip in the sea and make castles on the sand. Praa Sands, 5 miles away, is a much larger sweep of golden beach and also a firm favourite with families on bucket and spade breaks. Those who enjoy water sports can try their hand at kayaking or paddleboarding from the harbour at Porthleven.
