Once a fisherman’s cottage, this cute Porthleven bolthole dates back to 1880. You can picture the relief on the weather-worn fisherman’s face, returning to this cosy abode with a fire crackling in the stove (it’s electric now) and stargazy pie steaming away on the farmhouse-style table in the kitchen.
Your days in Porthleven don’t have to be so hard, meandering down to the harbourfront in just a few minutes where boats still land the fresh catch of the day, supplying a glut of independent restaurants. There’s a soft-sand beach here too, for days on the surfboard.Speaking of which, if you want to hang your wetsuit out to dry and store your board, there’s a private backyard just for this.
Inside, we love the exposed stone walls still on display – a nod to the home’s history. Sinking into one of the sofas is a delight after a day on a surfboard or walking the South West Coastal Path. Then there are the bedrooms with cushioned piled high on the beds – the epitome of cosiness.

Home truths
The stove is realistic, but it is an electric wood-burning effect stove. An original feature of this historic cottage, the stairs have quite low headroom so take care on them. The bathroom and bedrooms are upstairs, so this place may not be suitable for those with limited mobility. There is private parking with this home and having a car is beneficial to explore the area. Your host can provide a cot for infants, just ask. You'll have your own private entrance here. Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
