Set high above Porthleven harbour, this idyllic Cornish bolthole is the perfect place to switch off and relax. The property sleeps five guests and suits both families and groups of friends. Watch boats coming and going from your private patio and spend quality time with loved ones in the spacious, open-plan living area. Porthleven and the surrounding area is a haven for walkers, with a 3-mile beach stretching away from the town, as well as the South West Coast Path.
The period property features beautiful exposed stonework and is bright and airy, thanks to large bay windows overlooking the harbour. The heart of the home is the open-plan lounge/diner which has a cosy vibe, with seaside-themed accessories and pretty soft furnishings. Enjoy family mealtimes at the round dining table and unwind in the comfortable lounge area to admire the view or watch a film on the Smart TV. A compact kitchen completes the ground floor. Upstairs, discover three inviting bedrooms, along with the family bathroom. To the front of the property is a delightful patio area where you can dine alfresco and watch the boats bobbing in the harbour. There’s also a small, enclosed courtyard to the rear, which is ideal if you have four-legged guests.
Porthleven is a bustling, working port that’s bursting with Cornish charm. You’ll find plenty of traditional maritime pubs to refuel in after a long coastal walk, and many of the eateries serve tasty, fresh seafood. Porthleven’s beach is wild and rugged, and a popular spot for experienced surfers and keen walkers. Just 5 miles along the coast is Praa Sands, which is a family-friendly beach that’s perfect for bathing and sandcastle building. Nearby days out include St Michael’s Mount and Flambards Theme Park (both within 10 miles).
