About this property

Rainbow End, one of three perfectly converted barns, is nestled in the hillside, overlooking Porthallow. This cosy cottage, all on one level and accessed up a few stone steps, combines traditional features like polished granite and whitewashed walls with all the necessary modern-day requirements. There’s a comfortable lounge, a relaxing double bedroom and modern kitchen and bathroom with a large, communal garden with views of the countryside down to Porthallow Cove.

Porthallow, meaning ‘Port at the end of the Moor’, is a small, tucked-away village on the east coast of the Lizard Peninsula. It was once a busy fishing port, famous for its thriving pilchard fleet – in fact, the old pilchard cellars can still be seen near the pebbly beach. Just a mile off shore is the Manacles Reef, a rocky outcrop, and the cause of countless historical shipwrecks. It’s a popular site for diving, accessed from the neighbouring Porthkerris Cove, where you can hire the gear, or book a boat trip to snorkel with the basking sharks. Nearby St Keverne has a handful of shops, two inns and a cluster of whitewashed cottages, all huddled around the village square, and overlooked by the impressive 15th Century church, St Akervnus. 

Please Note: Rainbow End can be booked in conjunction with Rainbow Cottage and Cove View, providing accommodation for 10.
