Sea Glimpses

About this property

Sea Glimpses is a bright and welcoming bungalow with thoughtfully chosen interiors, nestled in the charming coastal town of Porthleven, Cornwall. With two inviting bedrooms, a secluded rear garden with far reaching views, and off-road parking for one car, this single-storey home makes a delightful base for couples, friends, or a family of four eager to discover the delights of the Cornish coast. Step inside and make yourself at home in the bright sitting room, where you can sink into the seating and switch on the Smart TV for a laid-back evening, or settle down with your favourite drink while making plans for the days ahead. When it's time to eat, head into the well-equipped kitchen and prepare anything from a leisurely breakfast to a hearty evening meal. Once everything is ready, gather in the separate dining room to share good food and conversation while reflecting on the day's adventures.

On sunnier days, take your time outdoors in the enclosed rear garden. Start the morning with a fresh coffee on the furniture, dine alfresco in the Cornish sunshine, or round off the evening with a favourite tipple in the fresh coastal air. When night falls, freshen up beneath the walk-in shower before retiring to one of two restful bedrooms. Both double bedrooms provide a pleasant space to recharge before another day of exploring. From Sea Glimpses, spend time discovering Porthleven, an attractive fishing town with a picturesque harbour surrounded by pubs, shops, cafés, and restaurants. Wander through its characterful streets, watch the boating activity around the harbour, enjoy a day on the beach, or try your hand at watersports for a more exhilarating way to experience this beautiful stretch of coastline. Venture further afield to discover the Lizard Heritage Coast, home to spectacular beaches and hidden coves. Explore the sands at Praa Sands and Poldhu Cove, discover the scenery around Rinsey, or lace up your walking boots and join the South West Coast Path. Follow the coast towards Rinsey Head to take in the views, or head towards Loe Bar, the Penrose Estate, and Gunwalloe Church Cove for another memorable day outdoors.

Nearby Helston is also worth exploring and is known for its annual Flora Dance Festival, while the wider Lizard Peninsula offers even more opportunities to uncover the character of west Cornwall. Whether your days are filled with coastal walks, watersports, beach trips, or simply discovering Porthleven's harbour and eateries, you'll have plenty to choose from.

Return after each adventure to the welcoming surroundings of Sea Glimpses and enjoy a memorable getaway on the Cornish coast.

Porthleven is one of south west Cornwall’s hidden, coastal gems, located near Helston, famous for it's 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. With a warren of streets lined with classic Cornish, granite cottages, an extensive beach manned with lifeguards, the chance for alfresco dining in one of a number of well reviewed restaurants, and crabbing off the harbour, there are plenty of activities for the whole family to enjoy, all year round. Porthleven is building a reputation for eating out with a popular food festival established in the spring. Out of season, Porthleven has one of the best surf breaks in the country where you can sit down and get lost for hours watching the energetic surfers riding the waves. There are some fabulous hidden coves along this stretch of coastline, including Praa Sands, Poldhu Cove, and Rinsey, a magical setting for the more energetic. You may have even seen pictures of Porthleven on television, being one of the best spots in the UK for storm watching, with the crashing winter waves often being used as the backdrop to weather forecasts. Walkers will enjoy the South West Coast Path, adventuring west past Rinsey Head with spectacular views, or south across Loe Bar to Penrose Estate with it's National Trust cafe, and on to Gunwalloe Church Cove. Take a trip to the Isles of Scilly by boat or plane and marvel at the display of sub-tropical gardens at the stunning Tresco Abbey. The Eden Project near St. Austell offers an interesting day out. Porthleven is the ideal base for discovering the delights of west Cornwall and the Lizard Peninsula.
