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.
