Lovely house with views across Porthleven beach and the harbour entrance. No parking so be mindful of this!

The amazing and stunning view from the loft room is a wowwee moment. The huge master bed is glorious to sleep in and to fall asleep to the soothing and comforting sounds of waves lapping on the shore is incredible. Kitchen has a good supply of equipment. Proximity to the sea is wonderful Parking was an issue. From a personal point of view the very steep steps into the property and steep stairs inside was a challenge daily.
