This chic, contemporary detached house in a peaceful lane in the heart of Porthleven is spacious, comfortable, and perfect for a holiday with family or friends with up to two canine companions. The nearby, year-round dog-friendly beach on the east side of Porthleven is ideal for your sea dogs to play in the surf.

The house has attractive, beautifully designed living spaces with a coastal theme. The living room is light and airy with a large, comfortable corner sofa, TV and a wood burner, creating a cosy retreat at the end of a long day at the beach. A sliding door leads from the lounge onto the terrace. The open-plan dining and kitchen area has plenty of tables and chairs and a seating area with a TV, making this a sociable space to spend time together. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare delicious meals from local ingredients. Upstairs you will find a family bathroom and five bedrooms - a king-size en-suite shower room, a double with bay window and harbour views, a room with bunk beds and two singles. To the rear of the house is a lovely private enclosed lawned garden with a large patio, garden furniture and a brick BBQ to enjoy on fine days. There''s also a handy outdoor shower to rinse the sand from equipment, the kids, or your dogs.

Enjoy a family day at Poldu Cove (9 miles), where there''s plenty of space for walking. Pups are welcome on paths around the beach year-round but aren''t allowed on the beach from 1 July to 31 August. Alternatively, Cober Valley (4 miles) is perfect for bow-wows and children to run around, and from Porthleven, there''s easy access to walk the South West Coast Path.

Lovely house in a great location, plenty of space for a large family and dog friendly with secure garden. The welcome pack of a cream tea was a lovely touch. Walking distance to shops, great restaurants, pub, beach and coastal paths.

The Merllyn in Porthleven. The house was spotlessly clean, as a family of nine the property had everything we needed and more. After a 7 hour journey we arrived to find a cream tea awaiting us, just what we all needed, definitely would recommend this property and definitely would stay there again. Overall we as family were really impressed.

We absolutely loved our stay over Christmas and New Year in Merlyn. It is a very spacious and extremely comfortable house in a fabulous location, close to so many amenities. There is a local park for the children to play in, loads of local dog walks, the restaurants and eateries are plentiful and they are all within easy walking distance.
