Oyster Cottage

About this property

This traditional Cornish granite cottage sits in the coastal village of Porthleven, minutes from the beach and harbour. Set over two floors, this character seaside homestay provides well presented accommodation for a small family or a couple. This stylish bolthole offers an open plan living room with woodburning stove, exposed granite walls, wooden beams and a statement sofa dressed with soft throws and scatter cushions, plus dining area and kitchen area with granite worktops and Belfast sink. The two bedrooms have rug topped oak wood flooring, ambient bamboo lighting and comfortable beds. The shower room feels indulgent with its clean, minimal design. The small and enclosed patio garden with seating is perfectly placed to catch the afternoon sunshine. Minutes from the little sandy beach arced by old inns, excellent foodie restaurants, art galleries and the harbour, Porthleven boasts a colourful coastal venue. The nearby coast path traces tall cliff tops to Loe Pool, the largest freshwater lake in Cornwall. For a stunning contrast in scenery continue along the peaceful woodland trails at Penrose Estate and through dreamy Victorian parklands. The premier beach resort of Praa Sands and its coastal golf course is a ten minute drive. A little farther are the visitor hotspots at St Ives; Marazion (gateway to St Michael's Mount) and the Lizard Peninsula is also on the doorstep for secluded coves, traditional fishing villages and some incredible coastal scenery. Oyster Cottage is simply not to be missed.

Situated between Lizard Point and Land's End, Porthleven retains the feel of a traditional Cornish fishing village, with uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean. The iconic clock tower sits on the harbour entrance and the pubs, shops, cafés and restaurants cluster around the inner harbour, where there is plenty of boating and marine activity.
