About this property

Boasting magnificent views of the Cornish coast, all ground-floor accommodation and pet-friendly living, Salakee welcomes four guests to relish the ultimate escape to Cornwall. After unloading in the off-road parking spot, cross the threshold into your new abode to be impressed by a homely sitting room, complete with a TV and electric fire so you and your loved ones can curl up and indulge a movie marathon after a long day of adventures. Allow the designated chef to become acquainted with a well-equipped kitchen, hosting all the necessary appliances required for a successful self-catered stay; set the dining table and gather together, ready to enjoy a feast altogether or step out into your very own private patio to savour an alfresco affair. When the stars appear overhead, retreat to one of two neatly-presented bedrooms including a double and a twin, serviced by a spacious bath where you can wash away the day. In the morning kickstart your itinerary with a relaxing stroll to Hendra Beach where you can relax upon the sandy trails or paddle along the shores before heading into the centre of Praa Sands to enjoy some hearty fare at the Stones Reef Beach Bar. Venture to the lovely location of Porthleven to enjoy Porthleven Harbour and Porthleven Beach, in addition to several shops, pubs and restaurants, perfect for stocking up on the essentials or sampling some tasty treats. Well-positioned to also journey to the pretty town of Marazion, Penzance and Falmouth, you will never be short of things to see and do. For a truly unforgettable escape to Cornwall, book a stay at Salakee.
Between Helston and Marazion on the south coast is the village of Praa Sands. The mile-long sandy beach at Praa Sands and the great surfing conditions make it famous. A bar/restaurant that has a view of the beach is the ideal place for a meal with a view or sunset beverages. In addition, Praa Sands is home to a golf course and country club, where you may play while taking in the most stunning views of the ocean. The 16th-century tower of Pengersick Castle is located not far inland from the coastline. Pengersick is rumoured to be haunted, and a monk's spirit has allegedly been spotted walking the grounds. John Carter, the self-styled King of Prussia, is said to have been born in the Pengersick home, and smugglers are said to have formerly utilised a tunnel that extends from the house to the beach. In Penzance (8 kilometres) and Helston, there are supermarkets and other shopping establishments (6 miles).

Parking space next to the bungalow. Nice kitchen with everything youâd need. We have met the owner and seems very nice. The bungalow was very clean. Area has plenty of nice walks, I think this is a lovely area to explore the bottom half of Cornwall. Will book again.
