“The cottage was nice and quite and peaceful and well positioned for touring all around cornwall.”

- Mr Washington, June 2019
“We Were met by the owner on arrival at the cottage who was very friendly, he explained where we could find him if needed and where we could walk our dogs.”

The cottage itself is stunning and had everything you need in it, which is all good quality. We arrived to find flowers and a lovely welcome pack waiting for us, which was such a lovely gesture. We would highly recommend the cottage to anyone.

- Mrs Kirby, May 2019
“The coutyard was a fabulous place, to stay on a working farm.”

The owner was really friendly and nothing too much trouble. The only slight thing is the info from sykes cottages about dogs is misleading dogs are allowed upstairs but not on furniture. Welcome pack was excelkkent.

- Mr Rogers, May 2019
“You met expectations as we have stayed at Sykes holiday cottages before on several occasions now, and know the very high standards of your lets.”

The Courtyard was perfect for the just the two of us (no dogs or parrots this time!), and Jonathan was as welcoming and helpful as the last occasion, when we stayed in the Mill next door. A fascinating stay on a working farm, and a great base to visit the many attractions of this tip of England's most westerly county.

- Mr Jones, May 2019
“Great welcome .”

Very comfortable and well equipped property and ideally located for both coasts. Will definitely return .

- Mrs Berry, April 2019
“We had an absolutely amazing holiday.”

Jonathan was extremely friendly and helpful and it was all so very relaxed

- Ms Derbyshire, August 2018
“It’s is really good that you can take your dog but quite annoying that they cannot go on any of the beaches between Easter and October.”

It would be very helpful to put this in the information provided about the cottage and surrounding areas. All in all it was a loverly holiday but a lot fewer pubs than expected and places to eat in the evenings.

- Mr Manser, August 2018
“John was extremely helpful.”

local pub the Crown at Crowntown was exceptional.

- Mr Gregory, June 2018
“The Courtyard is an absolute delight, we loved our stay there.”

Such a surprise to find a welcome pack for us on arrival including a bottle of wine, fresh flowers and all the makings of cream teas. The cottage was so well equipped and there was everything you would need for a comfortable stay. There was even a bonio for our dog! Loved the upside down barn and so quiet and serene. We heard owls hooting at night which was lovely! This cottage is very well situated for travelling round Cornwall, we were ideally placed to explore everywhere then come home to "our" cosy cottage after a busy day out. Would highly recommend.

The property

Within leafy green surroundings, this beautifully presented grade II listed barn conversion sits within a pretty rural farmstead less than a 10 minute car journey from the harbour town of Porthleven.

There is a pub just over a mile away where there is a friendly relaxed atmosphere and a food menu where all tastes are catered for. Porthleven is a bustling fishing village clustered around a large harbour, there are galleries and cafes galore as well as some excellent restaurants, including Rick Stein, offering the best in local seafood.

Also home to a sandy beach but we suggest you head for the mile long Praa Sands just ten minutes away; a firm favourite with all age groups, the beach is home to a surf school and beach shop providing wet suit and surf board hire so there really is no excuse to stay out of the water.

Don't worry though; there is also a bar/restaurant and a cafe overlooking the beach for more sedentary pastimes.

Tootle west from here and enjoy a day browsing the coastal hotspot of St Ives, Penzance or Marazion or for a more cosmopolitan vibe head to fabulous Falmouth for cafe culture, cocktails and boutique shops.

The Courtyard has reverse level accommodation with a superb open plan kitchen and living room the first floor.

The vaulted ceiling in this room gives a real feeling of space and light and the windows overlook rolling countryside.

On the ground floor are a pretty bedroom with king size bed plus a modern bathroom.

High quality furnishings, crisp linens and fluffy towels complete the picture.

Outside is a shared courtyard area, perfect for morning coffees and barbecues.

The local area is a walkers' delight with a footpath leaving directly from the doorstep.

Head out through the myriad of footpaths to Godolphin or Tregonning Hills or join the famous South West Coast Path for amazing clifftop walks.

About the location

PORTHLEVEN

Helston 3 miles; Penzance 10 miles; Hayle 11 miles; St. Ives 17 miles; Falmouth 17.5 miles.

Porthleven is one of south west Cornwall’s hidden, coastal gems, located near Helston, famous for its annual Flora Dance Festival. Situated between Lizard Point and Land’s End, Porthleven retains the feel of a traditional Cornish fishing village, enjoying uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean and the beautiful Cornish coastline. The iconic clock tower sits on the harbour entrance and the pubs, shops, cafés and restaurants cluster around the historic picturesque inner harbour, where there is plenty of boating and marine activity. With a warren of streets lined with classic Cornish, granite cottages, an extensive beach manned with lifeguards, the chance for alfresco dining in one of a number of well reviewed restaurants, and crabbing off the harbour, there are plenty of activities for the whole family to enjoy, all year round. Porthleven is building a reputation for eating out with a popular food festival established in the spring. Out of season, Porthleven has one of the best surf breaks in the country where you can sit down and get lost for hours watching the energetic surfers riding the waves. There are some fabulous hidden coves along this stretch of coastline, including Praa Sands, Poldhu Cove, and Rinsey, a magical setting for the more energetic. You may have even seen pictures of Porthleven on television, being one of the best spots in the UK for storm watching, with the crashing winter waves often being used as the backdrop to weather forecasts. Walkers will enjoy the South West Coast Path, adventuring west past Rinsey Head with spectacular views, or south across Loe Bar to Penrose Estate with its National Trust cafe, and on to Gunwalloe Church Cove. Take a trip to the Isles of Scilly by boat or plane and marvel at the display of sub-tropical gardens at the stunning Tresco Abbey. The Eden Project near St. Austell offers an interesting day out. Porthleven is the ideal base for discovering the delights of west Cornwall and the Lizard Peninsula.

Note: Babies welcome, regretfully no children over the age of two years.
