About this property
DRIFTWOOD COTTAGE, family friendly, with open fire in Helston
Characterful tin miner’s cottage close to Porthleven and some beautiful beaches.
Driftwood Cottage is a charming traditional miners cottage in the peaceful village of Ashton near Porthleven. The cottage sleeps four people and has one double bedroom, one twin bedroom and a ground floor family bathroom. On the ground floor is a kitchen and dining room, as well as a cosy sitting room with wood burning stove. Enclosed outdoor areas with patio furniture and BBQ. There is off road parking in front of the cottage. Located just three miles from the much-loved harbour town of Porthleven, Driftwood Cottage is a beautiful holiday home, ideal for quiet family holidays throughout the year. Please note: small step up into kitchen and bathroom with lower door height, and reduced head height in one place on the stairs.
Amenities: Night storage and electric panel heating. Electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, stair gate, WiFi. Power inc. in rent. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Cot and highchair available. Off road parking. Enclosed outdoor areas with patio furniture and BBQ. Sorry, no pets or smoking. Pub 2 min walk. Please note: small step up into kitchen and bathroom with lower door height, and reduced head height in one place on the stairs.
Region: Cornwall's visitors are constantly tempted back to the beautiful coastline, tiny fishing villages, hidden coves and the world-class surfing. Whatever the reason, Cornwall has long cemented its place as one of Britain's premier holiday destinations.
Town: Porthleven is one of south west Cornwall’s hidden coastal gems, located near Helston famous for its annual Flora Dance Festival. Situated between Lizard Point and Land’s End, Porthleven retains the feel of a traditional Cornish fishing village, enjoying uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean and the beautiful Cornish coastline. The iconic clock tower sits on the harbour entrance and the pubs, shops, cafés and restaurants cluster around the historic picturesque inner harbour, where there is plenty of boating and marine activity.
