Escape the humdrum of everyday life in this perfectly placed apartment on the edge of Porthleven harbour. The property sleeps four guests, making it ideal for couples and small families, and has a beautiful terrace to relax on in the evenings. Spend your days pottering around the cute shops, taking boat trips from the harbour, or dining in one of the many restaurants. The popular, family-friendly beach at Praa Sands is just 5 miles away.

The stylish apartment is arranged across two floors and has a sociable, open-plan layout and cosy underfloor heating. The decor is contemporary and hues of blue and aquamarine act as a constant reminder of your seaside setting. The sleek kitchen has everything you need to create delicious dishes, to enjoy together at the large table for four. After dinner, sink into the comfortable corner sofa, or curl up in the armchair, to watch the TV. Upstairs, choose from a king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom or the welcoming twin. A separate shower room completes this floor. Patio doors open from the living area onto a sunny terrace, where you can dine alfresco in summer months.

Porthleven is a bustling, traditional Cornish town. Known for its excellent range of eateries, you’ll find cafes and restaurants serving delicious local produce and fresh seafood. There are also some cute arts and crafts shops, which are great for picking up souvenirs and gifts. The area is a paradise for walkers, with a 3-mile sand and pebble beach stretching away from the town, all the way to Looe Bar. This remote and picturesque spot is a great place for picnics and wildlife watching. Nearby day trips include St Michael’s Mount, Flambards Theme Park, and The Lizard Peninsula (all within 10 miles).

We very much enjoyed our 2nd visit to 8 The Monterey & had a lovely break at our favourite destination, wonderful Porthleven. Many thanks for the welcoming hospitality and thanks for ensuring a great holiday- weather was good for November & had a little storm watching too! The property was very clean & well maintained

Property was overly warm, had to have windows open so alot of road noise. Shower took a long time to drain. Overall water pressure was an issue. Very clean, well equipped and close to all amenities. Good base to visit South West Cornwall.

Another lovely holiday in this perfect place. We love it here! The house was spotlessly clean as ever and so well equipped. A trip to the Jubilee Geo Thermal pool in Penzance is well worth a visit as is The Square restaurant.

Lucky with weather-spring has sprung. Accommodation is perfect for us-as is location. New shower-easy to operate and get in and out of, always a bonus-a good improvement.
