A delightful quirky cottage cosy met all our needs. A good location for beach, cliff path, harbour and town. Excellent restaurants and good pubs.

A quirky, comfortable and cosy cottage with accommodation arranged on three levels, plus a sun deck accessed through a large dorma window. Can see the sea from the front door all of two minutes walk away. Porthleven is an interesting place lots of alleys and different levels to explore. Super cliff path walks. Lovely restaurants.
