A three-bedroom cottage in Porthleven sleeping six, positioned 200m from Porthleven Beach and overlooking the harbour village. The property has sea views from the upper floors, an open fire in the sitting room, and an enclosed garden reached via external steps from the conservatory.

Bedrooms include one king-size, one twin that zips together to a super-king, and one further twin - served by three bathrooms across the property. Two dogs are welcome. Parking and WiFi are included, along with a dishwasher. Praa Sands beach lies 5.7km away for those wanting a longer, sandier stretch.

Porthleven harbour is a working port with a weekly market, independent seafood restaurants directly on the quayside, and a reputation as one of the best surf breaks in Cornwall during winter Atlantic swells. The South West Coast Path leads east towards Rinsey and west towards the Lizard. Rated 4.2 stars from 1 review.

Best for families or groups of friends who want to be within walking distance of a working harbour village with quality restaurants on the doorstep. Good for surfers visiting in autumn and winter. Suits dog owners who want coast access without a long drive.

With three bathrooms serving six guests and an enclosed garden accessed via the conservatory, the layout works for a family or two couples sharing. Porthleven town has a butcher, a deli, and a weekly market running through summer, covering self-catering supplies within walking distance of the cottage.
