About this property
This characterful stone cottage, featuring a traditional granite façade, is ideally located in a peaceful area on the edge of Porkellis between Falmouth and Porthleven and within walking distance (0.4 miles) of a dog friendly, historic, village pub. The cottage offers an excellent base for exploring the Lizard Peninsula and West Cornwall. Falmouth (5 miles) is well worth a visit, with it's wonderful independent shops, excellent eateries, and local events including the Sea Shanty Festival in June, Falmouth Week in August and the Oyster Festival in October. Make sure to visit the award-winning Maritime Museum, positioned in a beautiful location overlooking the Quay. An enchanting walk through the picturesque Penrose Estate footpaths near Helston lead to Loe Pool, Cornwall’s largest natural freshwater lake. From there, join the coastal path to reach the popular destinations of the fishing village of Porthleven to the west or Gunwalloe Cove and Poldhu to the East. The beautiful city of Truro is within easy reach and is rich in atmosphere with its cobbled streets and breathtaking Cathedral.
The adventure begins as you ascend the aged granite steps to this wonderful character cottage. Step into the light and airy dining room, complete with exposed granite walls, perfect for socialising and enjoying family meals together, or quietly sipping your morning coffee before the house wakes up. Move further in to the cottage and you will find in contrast, a cosy, warm and welcoming lounge with plenty of seating where you can relax and enjoy the quiet of the cottage, or a family film together on the Freeview TV. A bright and well-equipped kitchen completes the ground floor and is perfect for cooking together. Upstairs, you have two well-sized bedrooms, one double and one twin, both with en-suites, making this an ideal space for families and couples alike.
Outside, down some granite steps, is a sheltered patio area complete with a BBQ and table and chairs, that gets the afternoon and early evening sun.

Beautiful, cozy and comfortable cottage. It would not suit everyone as it has steep uneven steps that the photos do not portray. There are no rails and at night the light would not show up the top to guide you down. There is a drop by the door at the side of the steps that both dogs and children could easily fall from. There is a gate that goes over the top between the wall. It does not fit well, but does enclose the top grassed garden area. Beds were comfy and kitchen had all you needed. It could do with a proper curtain or blind in the double bedroom as the sun wakes you up early in the morning. The cottage was well equipped and in a good location. You need to be good at reversing and parking as the parking area is quite tight and involves a few maneuvers to get in/out. There are some amazing walks on the doorstep. It is ideal for exploring the gardens of Cornwall and easily assessable for beaches. There are so many beaches, gardens and pubs that are dog friendly. There is a lovely dining room as you enter the cottage that is fab for taking coats, boots and drying the dog before going into the lounge. Most definitely be aware of the steps before booking, especially if dark evenings and wet weather are predicted.
