Property code: OC-SEAB

This four-bedroom property, presented to a fantastic standard, is on the edge of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The most southerly port in the country, Porthleven was originally developed as a refuge harbour for shipwrecks and smuggling, but today is a quintessentially Cornish fishing port with restaurants and cafes serving the best locally caught produce. At low tide, you can explore excellent rock pools to discover Moonstone or Giant’s Quoit, rock types not found anywhere else in the country, west of the harbour. Further afield, explore the castle-topped island of St Michael's Mount (9 miles), reached across a tidal causeway from Marazion, which you can walk at low tide. Ride sky-high roller coasters and stroll through a life-size Victorian Village at Flambards Theme Park, 3.5 miles away.

The property welcomes you into a contemporary kitchen, with beautiful granite effect floor tiles. The living/dining room is bathed in natural light from large French patio doors out to the garden. Partitioned away from the dining area by a large sofa, the living area surrounds a feature compact wood burner and Smart TV, creating a cosy atmosphere perfect for unwinding. There is also a handy cloakroom with WC on this level. Upstairs, you’ll find a smart king-size bedroom enjoying fabulous sea views, featuring an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. There are three more bedrooms: a king-size and a further two singles, all furnished to the same high standard as downstairs, with the single bedroom at the rear of the property enjoying coastal views. There is also a family bathroom featuring a shower over the bath on this level.

The French patio doors open onto a stunning suntrap patio garden, with a central gravelled area wrapped by a pretty foliage border, providing the perfect spot for dining alfresco.

Clean and well equipped cottage. Nice bedrooms. Well furnished rooms. Equipment all works efficiently. Good to have a couple of single rooms. A pleasant walk to town and beach with park and green pace for kids and pets. Nice to have downstairs cloakroom and drying rack in kitchen.

Cottage is in a good location however it is worth noting it is at the top of a steep hill. Porthleven is beautiful with the shingle beach and working harbour. There are lots of small independent shops and some lovely places to eat including the Harbour Inn (the seafood sharing platter was delicious) Porthleven is very dog friendly and this made Read moreour holiday even more enjoyable. Parking at the cottage is great and the garden is lovely. We had great weather and it would be helpful to have a garden parasol and some outdoor seat cushions. Inside the cottage the sofas, could do with updating as unfortunately they are tired and rather uncomfortable. Two of the bedrooms have king sized beds (we slept very well) and there is plenty of storage. Porthleven is a great base for visiting Falmouth, the Lizard Peninsula, St Ives and St Michaels Mount.

An excellent well furbished property within easy walking distance to the town. A bonus was to have parking with the property as parking in Porthleven is not always easy to find. My family and I loved the property and only wished we could have made the time to spend longer.
