Fisherman's Cottage

About this property

Set just a stone’s throw away from Porthleven Harbour in Cornwall is Fisherman’s Cottage. This traditional, stone-built cottage has been refurbished to a good standard boasting white-washed walls and contemporary appliances as well as a characterful woodburning stove and exposed stone work; the perfect setting for couples seeking a romantic coastal break with their beloved canine companion. Enter from street level into the light living room with its stripped floorboards and stylish leather sofa complete with woodburning stove; the perfect place to unwind after a full day of exploration in Cornwall. From the living room, descend to the lower-ground-floor to find a kitchen/diner where you can have a delicious meal to be enjoyed around the dining table. When the evening draws to a close, stairs lead up into the bedroom, which has a king- size bed and en-suite bathroom with bath and separate double size walk-in shower offering the choice of a relaxing soak or a quick freshen up. To the rear of the property is a covered storage space suitable for body boards or hanging wetsuits to dry. During the day, enjoy a leisurely stroll into the heart of Porthleven where you will find a good selection of cafes, shops, galleries and pubs including a small supermarket for your daily needs. Porthleven is a fantastic base for holidays, while away sunny days upon the shores of Porthleven Beach, discover the Lizard Heritage Coast and its endless beaches and cliff top walks along the rugged coastline or venture west to find Marazion. Here you can walk or take a boat (depending on the tide) to the iconic and breath-taking St Michael's Mount where you can tour the medieval castle and the sub-tropical gardens. Venture to Praa Sands to test your swing at its 9-hole golf course or make your way to Loe Pool, the largest freshwater lake in Cornwall. Whisk your loved one away for a romantic break at Fisherman’s Cottage.

A little fishing village near Helston, Porthleven is a coastal beauty in south-west Cornwall, best known for hosting the annual Flora Dance Festival. Porthleven, a small town in Cornwall, is located between Lizard Point and Land's End and has stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and the stunning Cornish shoreline. Plenty of boating and nautical activity can be found in the ancient, attractive inner harbour, which is also home to the city's famous clock tower. All year long, families may enjoy the town's many attractions, including its maze of streets lined with traditional Cornish granite cottages, its long, patrolled beach, the opportunity to dine al fresco at any of several highly rated restaurants, and crabbing in the harbour. With the establishment of a well-attended culinary festival each spring, Porthleven is rapidly becoming known as a great place to dine. In the off-season, Porthleven's surf break is one of the greatest in the country, and it's easy to while away the hours just watching the vivacious surfers. Praa Sands, Poldhu Cove, and Rinsey are just a few of the beautiful, secluded coves along this stretch of coast. You've probably even seen images of Porthleven on the news, as it's one of the best places in the UK to see a storm and the crashing winter waves there are frequently used as a backdrop for weather reports. The South West Coast Path is a favourite with hikers, who may enjoy the beautiful scenery by walking west past Rinsey Head or south through Loe Bar to Penrose Estate, home to a National Trust cafe, and on to Gunwalloe Church Cove. Visit the Islands of Scilly by plane or boat and stop in at the beautiful Tresco Abbey, which features a subtropical garden. While in the St. Austell area, check out the Eden Project. To fully appreciate all that west Cornwall and the Lizard Peninsula have to offer, make Porthleven your home base.
