    “We stayed a this lovely cottage over New Year.”

    We really enjoyed our stay although the weather was awful. Communication from the owners was good and the property was immaculately clean on arrival. Appreciated the cream tea that was left by the owners for our arrival. Our older dog could not manage the stairs but she was comfortable in the ground level hallway which is spacious.

    We really enjoyed our stay although the weather was awful. Communication from the owners was good and the property was immaculately clean on arrival. Appreciated the cream tea that was left by the owners for our arrival. Our older dog could not manage the stairs but she was comfortable in the ground level hallway which is spacious. Easy walk into Porthleven. With the weather being so bad it would have been better if there was a secure area outside to let the dogs out in as the winds and rain were relentless at times. We would stay again preferably in better weather to enjoy the outside balcony area with amazing views.

The property

Enjoying a peaceful location just outside the centre of the village of Porthleven is Pen Chy, a stunning reverse-level cottage newly built in May 2020, offering four guests a stylish and beautiful home-from-home in Cornwall.

Featuring a slate balcony, a woodburning stove, and a light, bright interior, Pen Chy is a fabulous choice for your next break to Cornwall.

Notice the beautiful oak floors and oak staircase on entering the property, with the two bedrooms resting on the ground floor, head straight upstairs into the lofty open-plan living space at the end of a fun-filled day and be greeted by neutral hues and natural wood combined to offer a contemporary and relaxing aura.

Within the beautiful fitted kitchen you can find a host of excellent integrated appliances, with a long wood dining table offering the perfect place to come together over a delicious home-cooked meal.

Relax in front of a film playing on the wall-mounted large Smart TV as you sink into one of the two leather sofas and wind down, while the woodburning stove flickers in the background.

Experience a Cornish sunset from your very own balcony, with slate tiling and outdoor seating, sipping on a refreshing evening drink.

Head downstairs to find the lovely bedrooms, with a king-size featuring an oak bed frame and en-suite shower room, as well as a twin bedroom and the shared bathroom, complete with a separate bath and walk-in shower, completed to the highest standard.

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.
