Puckey Hill

Puckey Hill is a three-bedroom detached house sleeping 6 above Portloe on the Roseland, with sea views down across the fishing village to Veryan Bay. The double-fronted layout includes a garden room overlooking the terraced rear garden. Rated 9.3 from 24 reviews.

The house spans a kitchen, sitting room with open fire, and garden room on the ground floor, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms above. Dishwasher, washing machine, and wifi included. Dogs are welcome. On-site parking is included - worth flagging in a village where most cottages share a public car park up the lane.

The terraced rear garden steps down with wildflower planting and a coastal outlook. Portloe's slipway is a short walk down through the village, with the Ship Inn and the Lugger Hotel serving crab and seafood at the water's edge. The South West Coast Path runs through the village - east four miles to Caerhays Castle and Porthluney Cove, west three miles to Carne Beach via Veryan with its thatched round houses. St Mawes is 8 miles south-west by road for the year-round passenger ferry to Falmouth.

Best for families and small groups wanting space, parking, and a quieter Roseland base for coast walks. Less good if you want lively pub scenes or a beach within walking distance - Portloe's harbour is rocky, and the nearest sand is a 10-minute drive.
