  • A beautifully updated traditional cottage close to the seafront
  • An enclosed courtyard with a sunny, raised decked area
  • Situated in an idyllic part of the tranquil seaside village of Porthleven

Property code: OC-PEVCOT

Enjoy a fabulous seaside escape at this recently refurbished cottage in the heart of Porthleven. Perfect for a couple or family alongside their four-legged friend, discover wonderful sandy beaches, strike out along the South West Coast Path and explore the delights of this traditional harbour village.

Step off the street into the open-plan lounge/diner, a sociable space with two comfortable sofas on which to relax and recline, and a deep window seat where you can sit and watch the world go by. Whip up a storm in the modern, well-equipped kitchen, then gather around the dining table to enjoy a delicious meal. Alternatively, dine alfresco in the enclosed courtyard, with the raised decking area’s table and seating providing the perfect spot to enjoy the evening sun whilst Fido explored the borders. Soak tired legs in the stylish contemporary bathroom, then head to bed in one of two inviting bedrooms finished in neutral tones with soft white linens. The master bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, too.

A 100-metre stroll will bring you to the golden sands of Porthleven Beach, which extend for 3 miles to Gunwalloe at low tide. There is a seasonal dog restriction in July and August from 10am to 6pm on the section of the beach directly in front of Porthleven village; wander east along the shore to let your furry friend bound around to their heart’s content. For year-round unrestricted seaside access for your hound, visit Looe Bar Beach, just over a mile away. Join the South West Coast Path in Porthleven and experience the sights, sounds and smells of a spectacular cliff-top walk to Praa Sands, 3.5 miles away. This walk is particularly dramatic in winter when the huge Atlantic rollers crash against the coast. There are many dog-friendly cafes and pubs in both Praa Sands and Porthleven that are sure to get tails wagging. Sample local ales and a meal of fresh local produce whilst Fido indulges in a dog treat or two that are on offer in several welcoming establishments.

Peverell cottages was chosen for its location, and it didn't disappoint! We were very comfortable there for the week and enjoyed the stay immensely. Please don't take the improvements section as criticism - we loved the cottage and these are just notes for possible improvement, not complaints. We overlapped with the food festival days a little, butRead more were still able to park in the lanes close by. We're very grateful for the way the cottage was presented and to the owners for sharing their cottage with us. We love Porthleven. Hide

Really well located property which has been recently modernised internally. We found it fine for a family of four plus a dog. Best thing is the house is right on top of the beach area so great for dog walking, taking in the views and only five mins to the harbour area.

We had the best, relaxing holiday at this cottage. It is ideally situated for visits to places like St Ives, Mousehole etc., and is also just a short walk into Porthleven which has everything you could want from a holiday - good eating places and pubs, lovely harbour and beach.

Lovely and very much appreciated welcome pack including fresh flowers. The house was spotless, you couldn't tell it allows pets which is great as we don't have any. Literally everything you could possibly need is supplied, all you need to do is fill the fridge and buy your wine! A few things to bear in mind. Park in either of the side streets up fRead morerom the property. It's on a very steep hill which just gets steeper as you go up so unless you have athletic legs don't aim to park in the free cliff road car park. You'll need to keep the blinds drawn upstairs for privacy, and they're not blackout so it's an early start on sunny days. Otherwise highly recommended, a clean, well appointed and cosy property.

Unable to use the front door as opening on to the busy road. There is no garden, just a passageway for the neighbouring cottages. The decked area was black, slippery and uninviting.

The cottage was in a great location, close to beach & the centre of Porthleven. Beds were very comfortable & the cottage had all amenities we needed. We would definitely book again! Whilst there is no parking space, it is easy to pull up outside to unload & then there is a free car park just further up the hill. This was our 2nd visit to PorthleveRead moren & we cant wait to return. If you are looking for a quaint Cornish fishing village & beach away from the crowds of St Ives, but only 25 mins away, look no further. Some great restaurants, cafes & coastal walks are also on the doorstep. Hide
