Torleven Cottage

Description

Less than 200 yards from the harbourside in Porthleven this delightful, stone-built cottage is hidden away from the crowds but with everything on your doorstep. Furnished in a bright, contemporary style whilst retaining the original character of a fisherman’s cottage, it feels cosy and welcoming. With original wooden flooring, exposed granite stonework, a characterful woodburning stove and soft, velvety sofas, you’ll want to snuggle up here all year round. With striking artwork, coastal colours and features which nod to it’s nautical past, Torleven Cottage is adorable.

You enter into the living/dining room, with its thick whitewashed walls and striking fireplace, which then leads through to a galley kitchen and ground floor shower room with underfloor heating. Upstairs there are two bedrooms – one with zip’n’ link beds offering flexibility for guests and the other with a king size bed and quality mattress. A pretty, little, private garden to the rear with a dining set, barbecue and outdoor sink makes this a pet-friendly space too.

Torleven Cottage is perfect for a romantic retreat for two or a family holiday with lots of great facilities on your doorstep. Couples will enjoy exploring the coastal paths, the fantastic restaurant scene, local pubs with their interesting past and watching the waves pound against the harbour wall. Families will find places to catch crabs off the harbour walls, enjoy rock-pooling on the beach, mess about in the water and make visits to local attractions such as Flambards at Helston, the National Seal Sanctuary at Gweek and you can’t miss Roskilly’s Ice Cream Farm on The Lizard.
