Property code: OC-CASTAW

Gaze into the historic harbour and out to the sea beyond from this inviting Cornish retreat. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom property enjoys an elevated position, where the views stretch out to the countryside surrounding this picturesque fishing port. With extensive decking where you can relax and take in the vista, and a wood burner for winter warming, this makes a welcoming holiday hideaway throughout the seasons.

Head into this reverse-level house to discover how the spacious layout allows you to make the most of your surroundings throughout the day. At ground-floor level, there is a large, light-filled lounge/diner. Prepare your favourite meals in the well-equipped kitchen, then gather at the dining table and enjoy the panoramic views. On warm summer days, open up the French doors and dine out on the balcony or split-level decking. On chilly nights, fire up the wood burner and enjoy the magical expanse of twinkling village lights. For fun filled evenings, dip into the wide selection of board games. Alternatively, go through to the gorgeous games room for bar football or the Wii games console. With smart TVs and a DVD player, there is entertainment for everyone, as well as a full-sized desk. Also on this level is a utility room and a separate WC. The fantastic views continue downstairs where there are two king-size bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom, a twin room with a sunroom, and a family bathroom. There is parking for one car at the house.

Walk less than 0.5 miles from the property to reach the beautiful Porthleven Beach, which stretches for 3 miles. From here you can stroll just over 1 mile to Loe Bar and the freshwater lake known as The Loe. Head around the harbour to pick up the Southwest Coast Path in the other direction, then walk just over 0.5 miles to reach the picture-postcard hidden gem of Nichols Cove

We have been fortunate enough to stay at Castaway several times over the years. It is always a pleasure to return - the property is consistently cleaned to perfection, with every home comfort you could need and most importantly, the views that you would never tire of. We have made a lot of happy family memories at Castaway and in Porthleven.

This property deserves utter respect, there are no corners cut it was so so comfortable, the lounge, the kitchen, the bedrooms wanted for nothing, everything is to such a high standard.
