The hardest choice at this cosy home is deciding whether to stay and enjoy sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean from the attic room or to head out to explore the glorious Cornish coastline that sits mere metres away. Add in the private walled terrace complete with alfresco seating and a barbecue, as well as the living room arranged around a wood-burning stove, and the decision gets even harder. As you can probably guess by now, this address is ideal for relaxation and the neutral decor throughout reflects that. However, there are enough quirky design touches to stop it from feeling too bland — we like the driftwood-style artwork and coffee table especially. When the desire to get closer to the sea gets too much, five minutes' walk will get you to Porthleven Harbour, where you’ll find plenty of arts and crafts shops, cafes, restaurants and galleries. Two minutes in the other direction will see you reach the beach and the cliffs behind.

About Porthleven
Once a sanctuary for stranded seamen whose ships had been wrecked off England’s south coast, it’s no longer an unhappy coincidence that will take you to Porthleven. The town is a popular seaside destination with one of the best food scenes in Cornwall – Michael Caines has a restaurant here. Aside from its culinary offering, Britain’s most southerly port is known for its boat-filled harbour, pretty Victorian terraces, and 70-foot-high,...
