  • Gorgeous sunroom with skylight and contemporary balcony right above the beach
  • Open-plan modern kitchen/diner with dining table housed in conservatory

Property code: OC-STORM

Boasting a private sunroom perched right above the beach, this nautical-themed cottage is the ultimate coastal retreat. With easy access to the South West Coast Path that your pup will have a ball exploring with you, this family-friendly property will have the whole pack jumping for joy.

Let your canine companion sniff around the two bedrooms on the ground floor as you go mutts for the nautical theme and beamed ceiling. Lead the way upstairs to prepare a meal in the well-equipped kitchen/diner; your pup will love dozing in the warm spots beneath the glass conservatory-style roof above the spacious dining table. Hunker down for the evening in the cosy lounge where Rover can keep watch out of the characterful low-level window. There is also another bedroom on this level for you to call home. The best place to invite the outside in and soak up some magnificent uninterrupted sea views is the sunroom, complete with comfy seating, Velux windows and a balcony with a glass balustrade. Little paws will love climbing up the stone steps outside to reach the raised pebbled patio that’s perfect for al fresco dining with all the family.

Porthleven is the most southerly working port in the country. It boasts the sights of fishing boats drawing in their daily catch, a picturesque granite harbour, several quaint cafes and restaurants serving locally sourced menus, and an award-winning quayside fishmonger. Lead the way to an adventure along the unspoilt coastal path to the seafront with your four-pawed pal in tow, before going mutts in the waves at Porthleven Beach less than half a mile away, offering a 3-mile stretch of golden sand to enjoy. There are plenty of sticks to fetch along the South West Coast Path, including through the forest next to Loe Bar with breathtaking coastal views towards the Penrose Estate.

Perfect location. Net loft views amazing. Beds really comfortable and clean. Kitchen diner well stocked for cooking. The back garden patio is a great sun trap in evening. The decor and art work very tasteful. If you have mobility issues the stairs and the low living room furniture are challenging. The location is perfect to walk to harbour and shopRead mores and coast walk to Loe Bar. Make sure you book Sunday lunch at harbour inn online in advance as its popular. Hide

The cottage was of a very high standard throughout and was in an excellent position to walk to the harbour with all its amenities. However it sleeps 6 and there was only 2 of us. Lounge not big enough for more than 2 adults and 1 child. Also had problems parking as next door cottage had parked between both parking spaces which are very tight anywaRead morey. Luckily got hold of them to move car so we could park outside. Net loft was an added bonus with wonderful views of the sea. Not suitable for small children or erderley guests as steps inside and out extremely steep. Hide

Refurbished to a very high standard. Very comfortable and well finished. Lovely kitchen, bedrooms comfortable, lounge cozy with lovely views of the sea. The star attraction was the 'net loft' with superb views of the sea, with wonderful sunsets.
