This delightful terrace house in Porthleven enjoys gorgeous sea and harbour views from its elevated position and is perfect for families or friends looking for a relaxing holiday in one of the town’s most sought-after locations. Porthleven is a pretty, working fishing village, and it is hard not to relax in the beautiful surroundings. The village has a sandy beach and plenty of eateries serving the freshest seafood. The gorgeous, family-friendly beach at Praa Sands is only 5 miles, perfect for buckets and spades and various water sports.

An inviting two-storey property with a coastal theme, bright white walls, and splashes of vivid colour in the furnishings and decor brings a vibrant energy to the space. On the ground floor is a king-size bedroom with a large bay window looking out onto the harbour. The contemporary kitchen/diner is also on the ground floor with everything you need to whip up some family favourites. Completing the ground floor is an elegant bathroom. Upstairs is the lounge, a perfect social space that takes full advantage of the sea views from its large bay windows. There is a big, comfortable corner sofa and a TV to watch if you can take your eyes off the wonderful harbour views! There is also a shower room on this floor. Outside, you’ll find an elevated front terrace with outdoor furniture, a lovely spot for a morning brew or a sundowner, and a side patio.

To learn about some of the area’s history, visit the Wheal Prosper Tin Mine, less than 5 miles from Porthleven. For sea life enthusiasts, The Cornish Seal Sanctuary (7 miles) offers a wonderful experience to learn about the local sea life and walk around the woodland path. Walkers can head to Lizard Point (14 miles) and enjoy the two-mile walk along the coastal path to picturesque Kynance Cove, one of the most photographed coves in Cornwall.

Porthleven is a lovely fishing harbour, great places to eat out. The Anson is in a good location, many hours spent relaxing on the terrace watching comings and goings.

The property wasnt 5 star a few faults.. eg wobbly toilet seat, shower that tended to over flow ( poor drainage, kept having to use plunger). Looks a little tired in places generally. The double bed however was extremely comfortable! Slept really well. Great location too.

The Anson was a fabulous location with views across the harbour and out to sea. Inside, it was beautifully decorated making it a perfect family holiday home. Well equipped and centrally located, we would certainly stay there again.

We had a lovely time & would come again! The kitchen is a cook's dream!

Our first time staying in The Anson, we love being able to see the sea from the kitchen & the outside shower is really useful. All the home comforts & a big fridge make the stay all the better. Nothing beats the terrace in the evening.
