This traditional fishing cottage is the perfect fit for Porthleven, one of the UK’s most unspoilt fishing villages. With bags of character and even more homeliness, this home is a wonderful choice for your Cornish trip. Whether you’re in search of relaxation or an adventure, you'll find it here. While this home certainly has its traditional touches, it’s not without its mod-cons. The contemporary kitchen is sleek and polished – home-cooked meals are a breeze here. On the other hand, the living room is cosy and inviting, with a stone brick fireplace that fills the home with warmth. You’ll love snuggling on the plush sofa, watching a comforting film on the smart TV, with just the glow of the gas-burning fireplace. With the granite harbour right on your doorstep, you’re in the perfect position to explore Porthleven. Discover its winding roads dotted with independent shops, cafes, and traditional pubs. Of course, no visit to Cornwall is complete without fish and chips on the beach, watching the surfers ride the waves. Finish off your day with a nice crisp pint in a cosy pub, or head home to catch the last of the afternoon sun in your courtyard.
