About this property
Set in a fantastic harbourside location, this two-storey cottage is a great choice for families wanting a seaside holiday, friends wishing to explore the coastal walks, and couples seeking a coastal retreat. Porthleven has a picturesque and bustling harbour, an excellent range of independent eateries to satisfy foodies, and the main sand and shingle beach (0.5 miles) is good for swimming, rock-pooling and family fun. Storm watching is a particular favourite in the winter season here.
This welcoming and bright property has a coastal theme, and thoughtful bright furnishings create a relaxing ambience. Enter the cosy living room, and your eye is drawn by the views of the harbour from the windows. The room feels like a home-from-home with comfortable sofas and a Smart TV inviting you to put your feet up and unwind. The whole ground floor is designed for sociable, easy living, with an archway into a contemporary and spacious kitchen/dining room that makes meal preparation a breeze. A sliding door from the kitchen leads to the rear yard. On the first floor are a shower room and three bedrooms - one super-king-size with a harbour view, one double and one single. Outside, you can enjoy an enclosed paved terrace to the front with seating – perfect for your morning brew or evening drinks while you watch the world float by in the harbour. To the rear is a small yard.
The South West Coast Path is perfect for walkers of all abilities, so head to Looe Bar Beach (1.5 miles) when you fancy a change of scene. All the family will enjoy a day at Paradise Park and Jungle Barn (10 miles), with an indoor play area for rainy days. Two of the prettiest spots along the coast are the picturesque harbour at Mullion Cove (11 miles) and St Michael’s Mount (9 miles), with its historic castle and cobbled causeway located opposite Marazion Beach.

Mrs Julie Quenby
The house was very well furnished with good quality furniture,the only thing was the back bedroom double bed there was barely enough room to get down the sides of the bed. Much better layout would have been twin beds with cabinet inbetween but it is up to the owner how they dress their own properties. One small gripe I have and that is I emailed the office twice to ask what to do with rubbish and the key at the end of the holiday and I had no reply to either of my emails which I felt was very poor service. I couldn't find any info in the folder, other places we have rented have an info board in the kitchen. Location fab, house overall fab,Porthleven fab as always and that is why we come back again and again
