Set in the heart of the small fishing village of Porthallow and just a short stroll from a shingle beach, the cottage has a small, elevated and secluded south facing garden, with wonderful views through the wooded valley.
The South West Coast Path is just 50 metres from the cottage, offering excellent coastal views across Falmouth Bay to St. Anthony's Head, and a beautiful walk to Gillan Creek and the Helford River.
Porthallow beach is used by local fishermen, and it is possible to drive onto the beach to launch canoes and dinghies.
A short walk from the beach on the St Keverne road, you will find a lovely café called Fat Apples which serves home cooked food; hearty breakfasts, scrummy cakes, and afternoon teas.
The village shop and pub in St Keverne, just a couple of miles away, offer comprehensive supplies.
The local wildlife is abundant, with buzzards circling over the valley and seals occasionally visiting the bay.
