Explore West Cornwall’s tourist attractions, beaches, and stunning countryside. Porthleven is a popular foodie destination, with restaurants, cafes and bars to whet everyone’s appetite. Spend a day on the sandy beach that stretches 3 miles to Looe Bar. Enjoy walking the South West Coast Path that runs through the town and takes in some of Cornwall’s rugged scenery and coastline. Just 1 mile away is the National Trust’s Penrose, a lovely parkland area for walking, cycling and wildlife spotting.

This lovely home exudes character with exposed stonework and large bay windows. Head inside to the practical kitchen which boasts a Nespresso coffee machine available for guests.

Head upstairs and chose from one of three bedrooms: one king-size room, one twin, and one single. The property’s coastal charm even carries all the way through to the family bathroom.

To the front of the property is a lovely patio area with a table and chairs, where you can watch the boats come and go in the harbour. At the rear of the house is a small, enclosed courtyard space.

Fantastic place to stay, the house itself was clean and warm and had everything youd expect. The kitchen was small but wasnt a problem. Towels and bedding were very good quality. Water was constantly hot which is a bonus and the views from the house and patio were exceptional. Patio furniture and seat pads provided too which was good. There werRead moree 4 adults in our party and was very comfortable, the area has great walks to loe bar, across the beach, around the harbour and theres always something going on from boats sailing out to locals {and tourists) braving the waters in the outer harbour (we went in March) and theres always surfers enjoying the waves. All in all a great holiday Hide

The cottage is superbly located, just a short walk from beaches and shops and restaurants. It had a quirky, family feel to it. It has a very well equipped kitchen and some convenience items like blankets, laundry equipment and dog bowls and toys if you are bringing your four legged friends. I absolutely loved our stay here.
