Property code: OC-SEASAL

This lovingly refurbished stone cottage in the heart of Porthleven retains much of its rustic character and charm. Perfect for a family of four with one happy hound invited too, it is just moments away from miles of sandy stretches perfect for chasing the tide with your four-pawed pal.

There is no better remedy after a long day’s adventure than unwinding in the inviting lounge, complete with plenty of comfy seating and a gorgeous wood burner to warm up and dry off chilly paws and toes. The charming atmosphere is carried through to the lower ground floor comprising the well-equipped kitchen/diner, spacious enough for preparing a hearty meal and your pup’s bowl. Pack your four-legged friend’s favourite blanket and tuck them into either of the spacious bedrooms and let sleeping dogs lie to dream of the next day’s adventure. Unleash your wet-nosed pal into the romantic courtyard where little paws can rest on the patio as you enjoy dining alfresco and listening out for the nearby tide.

From coast to countryside, you and your four-pawed third wheel will have a ball exploring everything that the fishing town of Porthleven and the surrounding area have to offer. The most southerly working port in the country, grab the lead and head to Porthleven Harbour less than half a mile away, where your pup can soak in the salty smells from the small fishing boats whilst you can enjoy the catch of the day in several cafes and restaurants dotted along the quayside. Your pup will go barking mad bounding through the waves at Porthleven Beach, boasting 3 miles of golden sand, and clear waters perfect for the whole family to enjoy a paddle.

Nice little cottage in a great location within Porthleven. Stairs down to the kitchen a bit awkward.

A lovely old cottage with quirky features. The large kitchen downstairs was super and a substantial table great for eating at. Some of the doorways/ staircases were very small and low and being very tall, quite a challenge. Location was excellent and a very tasteful decor throughout.

Very sweet cottage in a good location. Probably more suited to a couple than family of four (with slightly older kids) and a dog just due to size. Watch your head...bathroom and stairs down to kitchen are low for anyone above 5 foot. Comfortable main bedroom and very clean.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Sea Salt Cottage. The location is just a 2 minute walk from the harbour and lovely bustling centre of Porthleven. Great access to coastal walking and also the beautiful Penrose Estate. Portheleven also has some excellent restaurants and pubs. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. It is set on 3 levRead moreels with low ceilings on the stairs so bumps to the head are a potential hazard! Parking was easy on the street Hide
