Property code: OC-SAMCOT

The beautiful cottage overlooks the beach in Porthleven. Sleeping six guests and two hairy hounds, the property suits both groups of friends and large families. Spend your days on the beach or walking the coast path, before returning to your Cornish bolthole to relax by the wood burner or sip a sundowner on the terrace. The bustling market towns of Penzance and Helston are within 12 miles of the property.

Enter via the sunroom, where you can relax with a morning coffee and admire the far-reaching sea views. From here, move into the cosy lounge/diner, with characterful exposed beams and stonework. The hounds will love dozing by the warming wood burner, whilst you snuggle up on the sofa to watch the Smart TV or a DVD, and you can all come together for delicious meals around the large dining table. This room opens into a stylish kitchen, where there is ample space for the dog beds, as well as a breakfast bar and additional comfortable seating. Just off the kitchen is a handy porch area. Four bedrooms await upstairs: a king-size and double with sea views, and two cosy singles. A chic family bathroom completes the property. Please note, your hairy guests are only permitted on the ground floor. Outside there’s a small, enclosed terrace with seating and uninterrupted views across Mounts Bay.

Porthleven is a vibrant fishing port with a great selection of woof-welcoming eateries. Enjoy strolls around the harbour, or head down to the beach (the eastern end is woof friendly all year) to let your four-pawed pals splash in the waves. The South West Coast Path passes through the town, offering great dog-walking opportunities. Just along the coast is the remote landscape of The Lizard Peninsula, where you and your hairy sidekicks can discover secluded beaches and woodland trails.

Lovely character cottage in a fabulous location. Loads of space and well equipped for families or friends. Nice to share a bit of its history.

We have stayed at this house for a number of years in a row. It's sad that the maintenance of the house does not match the quality of the location. Over the years we have seen this house deteriorated, as the care has not been taken, dirty curtains , blinds and curtains that don't hang properly, spider webs not removed, cleaning of high use areas Read more, windows,window sills, outside door ways. I will be writing to my feedback to the company directly, we will not be staying at this house again. Hide

Beautiful, spacious cottage with beautiful views and and it included home comforts. One downside the TV had a black line down the screen, but it didn't obscure the picture. Beautiful views as well. Plenty of space for our party during Christmas.

All in all we were happy. Here our suggestions for improvement: TV shows a dark vertical stripe in the right half of the screen. Beds could be more comfortable and slightly bigger. Knifes in the kitchen are blunt. Heating was a bit weak especially during stormy days, hereby windows and doors are leaking. We missed a description how the heating in tRead morehe bathroom works.
