Homely Cottage w/ Sun Terrace, Short Walk to Beach

Summary:
A beautiful Cornish cottage in the heart of Porthleven, this space is perfect for families, couples & small groups.

The Space:
This cottage has been newly refurbished to a high standard, but has retained all of its Cornish charm with loads of traditional features.

Downstairs there is a spacious, open-plan dining area and living room. This features a smart TV with Apps, DVD player and books for entertainment, and a comfortable seating area for relaxing after long days at the beach! Furthermore, there is also a wood burner in the living room for winter stays.

The adjacent kitchen has two lovely sky lights and is very bright and airy. It is well-equipped which includes all the amenities you need to have a comfortable stay, such as dishwasher, coffee machine and microwave. Leading off is a utility room with washing machine and dryer.

The master bedroom has two full-opening sash windows with views over Porthleven and the surrounding countryside. This room has a comfortable double bed and ample storage space for clothing. The second bedroom has a full size bunk bed, so is perfect for kids but also well-suited for adults. Additionally, this room also has wooden stairs leading up to a cosy mezzanine for kids to play in. There is a travel cot and high chair for those travelling with little ones. The bathroom is also on the first level and has a shower/bath unit, so again is suitable for those with little ones.

Outside the front of the cottage is a raised terrace with seating and BBQ facilities (The BBQ is available for use from April to October). This gets great evening light and has views out over the town and countryside. Perfect for enjoying warm summer nights with a drink or two!

The location of the cottage couldn't be better. It is on a quiet street with minimal noise from passing crowds or traffic, but is only a couple of minutes walk down to the Porthleven harbour side. Here there is a vast array of shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs and more. Porthleven Beach is just over 5 minutes walk.

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire property, aside from a locked cupboard and small garden area at the back which is still under renovation. Though this is only temporary and will be available in the future.

The Neighborhood:
The cottage is set in a quiet neighbourhood.

Getting Around:
Everything Porthleven has to offer is easily within 5-10 minutes walk or less from the cottage, but a car is recommended for getting around the wider area.

Other Things to Note:
There is no parking on the premises. However, there is free on-street parking right opposite the cottage, as well as additional free parking in the surrounding streets.

The BBQ is available for use from April to October.

We have a ring door bell camera at the back of the house. This area is not accessible to guests, so it won't capture you but we have this for security purposes.

Regretfully, we cannot accept pets due to severe allergies.

Interaction with Guests:
We will be available via message, email and phone during your stay. Any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch!
