With its gable walls and wooden ceiling beams, this living area offers a serene retreat in which to just unwind or watch a film on the 65” UHD Smart TV with an immersive soundbar. Make use of the spotting scope to admire the breathtaking views of storms, the exciting chance of spotting dolphins and whales during the winter months or just admire the gorgeous sunsets you see from this elevated vantage point that takes in the whole of Mounts Bay. 

Outside, provides a patio space enclosed by a high wall and furnished with a hardwood table and chairs, it’s the ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee in the fresh sea air. The cottage also benefits from the luxury of a private parking space that is adjacent to the property.

Suffolk Cottage is perfect for walkers and dog owners alike, being just moments from the South West Coast Path, including the picturesque all-weather walk through the woodland at the Penrose Estate or longer coastal walks where you can soak in breathtaking views of the rugged cliffs and crashing waves. Alternatively you can start your day by exploring the picturesque village, where you can watch the world class surfers or witness local fishermen bringing in their catch, enjoy a leisurely stroll along the harbour or discover the long sandy beach and vibrant food scene with an abundance of restaurants and cafes serving delicious seafood and local delicacies. Outdoor enthusiasts can also tour with the fishing boats or try other water sports including kayaking, coasteering and paddleboarding.

This is the second time we have spent a lovely week at Suffolk Cottage, loved it the first time so came back for more. Porthleven is our favourite part of Cornwall, never fails to deliver whatever the weather. The loft at Suffolk Cottage is a superb space, just watching the weather roll in and out. Love it.

Suffolk cottage was well positioned overlooking the sea, on the beach side of harbour. Lovely loft sitting room with sea view. Easy walk to beach, harbour and Porthlevens cafes and pubs. Well equipped with thoughtful touches. Would love to return

The cottage for us was perfect. From the moment we walked in it felt fresh, clean and homely. The kitchen was very well equipped and very clean. We didn't use the downstairs living room or the second bedroom but the other rooms in the house were light and airy. The main bed room was large, the bed was comfortable and super sized. The shower waRead mores excellent and there was never a shortage of hot water. The loft room was our main place to relax in the cottage; what a fabulous additional room. Again, light and airy and so lovely to be able to see the sea while warm indoors. In terms of the location, again, perfect for us. Private parking really helped. A lovely walk to/from the harbour. A local, friendly, pub just around the corner. Hide

The nicest property for the nicest area. Bed was very comfy, house is well equipped, large tv in the loft to watch films at night. View from the bedroom and loft are out of this world. Couldnt have asked for a better location to spend the week. Will be coming again!

Very nice cottage, we liked the fact that strair gates were provided. If you are elderly you may find the stairs a little steep as my 88yr old mom struggled and couldn't join us in the loft room, so unfortunately it went unused.

The property had everything needed for a family holiday. The rooms were very comfortable, very good shower and spent most time in the excellent loft room looking out to sea. Very close to the harbour shops and restaurants. Would highly recommend.
