Property code: OC-KESTRE

This welcoming two-storey property in the heart of Porthleven is ideal for families or friends looking for a relaxing holiday on the spectacular Lizard Peninsula. Porthleven is a quintessential Cornish fishing port, and the harbour is less than 200 metres away, where you can watch the boats come and go and enjoy the freshest catch in the many restaurants. The sandy beach is only half a mile away. This is the perfect spot to enjoy summer on the beach.

This spacious house is decorated in relaxing neutral tones with a coastal theme and has lots of natural daylight. A homely feel means you can relax and enjoy spending time together here. The living/dining room has plenty of seating to make yourself comfortable after a day of exploring. The room is perfect for board games, or there is a TV for entertainment. You will find everything you need in the kitchen to cook up a storm. The first floor has a bathroom and three bedrooms: a king-size with an en-suite shower, a double and a twin. Outside you will find a small, decked area with garden furniture, a perfect place to make the most of fine weather with a drink in hand.

It’s easy to see why the surrounding countryside has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with views along the South West Coast Path providing wonderful sightings of picturesque coves and beaches. St Ives (17 miles) is a great day out with plenty of eateries, independent shops and four beaches to enjoy. A visit to Paradise Park and Jungle Barn (11 miles) offers something for everyone, with a wildlife park and many children’s activities. A trip to this part of Cornwall would not be complete without a visit to the iconic St Michael’s Mount, opposite the beautiful Marazion Beach (9 miles).

This was our 4th stay at Kestrel and we love it. The location is superb and parking on site is priceless. Everything about the house is comfortable, warm and welcoming. Its easy to get to so many places from Porthleven plus there are some lovely walks close by. Well be back

We have stayed in Porthleven 5 times in total. This cottage was the most central and the convenience of access to facilities was offset by the racket we endured. Unbeknown to us, Shute Lane appears to be a main arterial route to this side of Porthleven. This meant there was an endless stream of vehicles including a reversing bin wagon at 0509 hrs. Read moreOn the Saturdays (day of arrival) we wanted a quiet night in after a very long drive but unfortunately an open air bar has appeared in the harbour and the din of the music could be heard all night up until they closed at 11pm. I'm not clear why they've been given permission for this, given the quiet nature of the fishing port. Overall I would not stay in this cottage again. Hide

Lovely cottage in a good if not ideal location. Only let down by the poor Wi-fi and Tv's

A great house in a fab location, it comes with an attached garage for parking which is so useful in Porthleven. The house itself is lovely and spacious, great for a family with children of all ages. Would definitely recommend!
