About this cottage rental
Summary:
This stylish cottage is tucked away on a quiet street in Porthleven, but a stones throw from the hustle and bustle of the harbour.
The Space:
Through the front door, you step into a spacious living room that's bursting with warmth and character. Whitewashed walls and cream sofas are tastefully complimented with natural fabrics such as jute cushions and wool throws - giving a cosy and calm feel throughout. Next door, a brand new modern kitchen is equipped with everything you need and more: from an electric hob and oven to a Nespresso coffee machine and fridge with water dispenser. When you're not out at one of the amazing local restaurants, you can enjoy sociable meals around the large dining table.
Upstairs, you will find three well-sized bedrooms which have been finished to a boutique standard. The master has a striking four poster king-sized bed with sumptuous bedding and high-quality furnishings - you'll certainly sleep soundly here! There is ample storage for clothing in the built-in wardrobes, as well as a private en-suite bathroom with a shower unit. The further double bedroom is equally as inviting, whist the third bedroom can be made up as with either a single or a king bed. The additional family bathroom has been maintained to a high standard and features a bath and shower unit. Downstairs you will find a comfortable double sofa bed, should you require more diverse sleeping options. The cottage's enviable location and inviting interiors make this a real home away from home and the perfect spot for a relaxing coastal getaway. There is a private parking for up to two vehicles.
Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the whole property.
The Neighborhood:
Porthleven is one of Cornwall's prettiest fishing villages, with brilliant foodie ties and restaurants, been named amongst tourists and locals ‘the new Padstow’. You'll find the likes of Michael Caines lining the harbour as well as Masterchef winner's Kota restaurant, The Square at Porthleven, Amelie’s and Seadrift. You could spend a week or more sampling all of the amazing food in the area! Every summer there is an annual community-run food festival with stalls, music and entertainment bringing the town to life!
It's not just restaurants that are in plenty here, you'll find a handful of welcoming pubs within walking distance of the cottage. Head to The Ship for beautiful views and live music or The Harbour Inn for a pint or two on a sunny day. As if that wasn't enough, you can enjoy long rambles along the coastal path from Looe Bar for stunning views of the gnarly Cornish cliffs and stop at Origin Coffee to refuel before browsing the independent galleries, jewellers and art shops that line the harbour. We highly recommend making bookings in advance to avoid disappointment!
From Porthleven you can take the A394 towards Penzance, stopping off at the beaches along the way. Praa Sands is a wide sandy beach perfect for families, but try the more secluded bay of Prussia Cove a little further along down a single track road if you want something quieter. There are also lovely walks along this part of the coast if you have time, such as the route from Perranuthnoe to Cudden Point; around two miles of scenic trail along the clifftops. A busy day is always best finished with food, and locals love heading to New Yard Restaurant for innovative dining in a rustic alfresco setting. Only a 25 minute drive and you are in the popular towns of Carbis Bay and St Ives.
Getting Around:
Due to the remote nature of Cornwall we would highly recommend bringing a car to make the most of your time here. That said, the cottage is ideally located within a short walk of Porthleven's harbour, shops and restaurants. There is a private parking behind the cottage with space for two vehicles.
Other Things to Note:
Dogs allowed with fee of £20/dog (max 2).
Interaction with Guests:
We will be available via message, email and phone during your stay. Any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch!

Beautifully appointed very comfortable cozy house (with parking!) a short walk from Porthleven Harbour. We very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely property, which has everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. We’ll be back.

The property was tired and could do with an update and some areas were in need of a good clean. The beds were not made up as requested and there was difficulty initially in getting this resolved. This meant that the start of our break was stressful and disappointing. The heating was inadequate in sitting room as one heater did not work and there was no heating in the ensuite bathroom so was unusable in January. We did manage to have an enjoyable stay as Porthleven is beautiful and the cottage was comfortable enough.

What a lovely cottage! The decor was superb and very tastefully done. We were a party of 4 adults and there was plenty of room for all with no one getting under each other's feet. The property is located at the top of a very quiet street, with the walk into Porthleven not taking longer than 10 minutes, therefore ideally situated. The decor was beautiful and the cottage very comfortable and clean. We all slept extremely well! Will, the Host, had thought of everything to ensure we had a great stay e.g. coffee pods, washing up liquid etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to anyone. I myself can't wait to return.

Great location (10 mins walk to pebble beach, 5 mins further for sand). Super local to great cafes, town centre and port.
Kitchen well stocked and rooms were spacious.
Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

We stayed in this cottage, for five days while staying in Porthleven and exploring Cornwall. The cottage is in a great location, and Porthleven is lovely. We enjoyed walking about the town and the excellent restaurants close to the cottage.

Immaculate cottage - looked like we were the first tenants.
Shower in en suite ran very hot after a short while making it unusable.
Otherwise , excellent.

A great little cottage and super location for the centre of Porthleven. Very comfortable with the bonus of car parking. Our dog also enjoyed his stay in this nice cottage. We are happy to give more feedback to the owners if they wished to make this delightful cottage a little more luxurious for future guests. Overall a very lovely and enjoyable time in Rhodes Cottage .
