This stylish cottage set on a famous Victorian terrace in an idyllic fishing port town in Cornwall is perfect for families who are seeking a seaside getaway. Porthleven is a sought-after holiday destination due to the impressive range of restaurants, cafes, galleries and independently run shops, in addition to its sandy beach and picturesque harbour.

To the far side of the room, there’s a delightful window seat, with shutters on either side, where you can relax with a drink while watching what's happening in the harbour. Also in this room, there’s a wooden table and chairs to sit at while enjoying a home-cooked meal under the glow of the chandelier above.

Once again, we had a fantastic stay at no 12. The weather was superb with glorious evening sunsets in November. The only downside is having to leave! The welcome pack is amazing with the addition of some dog treats this time, nice touch. Well be back.

Our stay at number 12 was amazing. The view is breathtaking and the property just makes you feel like you have come 'home'. Each day the view seems different and you are just high enough above the harbour not to get wet! We spent hours on patio even in mid October.

Thank you for a lovely stay in your house. The welcome pack was amazing. The views were fabulous, even when the sea was so wild. We didn`t want to go out as the house is so comfortable. To sit and watch the surfers from your bed is something I will always remember. Porthleven is a beautiful place, its our second visit at New Year. We ate in Amelia`Read mores, drank in The Ship. The locals are very welcoming. We missed the Harbour View pub, but have been told it will re-open. We all had a wonderful time. Hide

Thank you for a lovely place to stay. The welcome pack was amazing and much appreciated. I will be stealing some ideas from your kitchen for our new house. Views are amazing, loved to sit in the window seat and watch the world go by. The Ship is a brilliant pub-quiz night was fun. Porthleven is a delight. Hopefully see you again another year.
