Escape to this cute coastal retreat with your other half and up to two furry friends to make magical holiday memories. This cottage-style new build offers open-plan living amid crisp, clean lines. Located in central Porthleven, the harbour, beach, shops, eateries and pubs are within 0.5 miles so it’s a fabulous setting. Do as much or as little as you please – after all, you’re on holiday! Have a romantic retreat, stride out along clifftop walks or use it as a comfortable jumping-off point for exploring further afield.
This one-bed property offers accommodation over three floors, carefully planned to make the most of the space available. Entering on the ground floor, there’s a wet room and useful storage for your outdoor gear. The sleek open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is on the lower ground floor. A long room, there’s a slick contemporary kitchen at one end with your table for two in one corner and a comfortable lounge area by French doors out to the furnished, private terrace which is a south-facing suntrap and also has side access. Upstairs, the super-king-size bedroom feels really luxurious with a quaint sloping ceiling and Velux window with remote-controlled blackout blind.
Take the lead and have a good look around this characterful town. Head out by car or on foot if you’re feeling active to explore other sandy beaches along the stunning Lizard Heritage Coast. Sandy Porthleven Beach is just 1 mile, while the huge golden swathe of Praa Sands is 5 miles and Kynance Cove with its sand, caves and rock formations is worth the 14-mile drive. Consult the tide times before planning a visit to iconic St Michael’s Mount, an ancient castle accessed at low tide by a causeway from Marazion. Or grab the dogs’ leads and get back to nature with long, bracing walks along the coastal paths.
