Overview
Property code: OC-LAMPHO

This property can be booked alongside the adjacent property Neptune House to accommodate up to 8 people.

Glorious panoramic views across Mount's Bay will tempt you to return to The Lamp House time and again. The large windows in the open-plan living room let natural light flood in and show off the vista in all its beauty. Designed in reverse-level to make the most of the coastal location, this is a great holiday cottage for a peaceful break set away from the busy town centre of Porthleven, but close enough to walk in and make the most of the local facilities.

Stylishly furnished with teak and mahogany furniture and with an Indonesian theme running through, this is a very well-equipped property and will suit a family where you can leave the car parked up and walk to the local beaches for a seaside holiday. Alternatively a couple may enjoy making this a base from which to explore the wider west Cornwall area. Bring your dog and he will enjoy the lovely coastal walks too.

If you are looking for a relaxing property with a sublime view over Mount's Bay, you cannot do better than the Lamp House. Set 15 minutes' gentle walk out of Porthleven itself, the distance pays for itself at Food Festival time (three days in early May) when the town becomes somewhat noisy. Within easy reach of Gweek Seal Sanctuary, Glendurgan and Read moreTrebah Gardens, there is also an hourly bus service towards either Penzance or Falmouth, so you can leave the car packed up. Local food establishments such as the Twisted Currant (for wonderful lunches and cream teas) and Catch, the place to go for an ENORMOUS fish and chips (most will only need one between two!) Both these establishments also provide gluten-free offerings, as does the Harbour Inn. Hide

A well-located cottage- the perfect size for four of us. The view from the front windows is unbeatable. Generally well-equipped with everything we needed for a great holiday in a beautiful part of Cornwall.

Lamp house cottage is situated in the most perfect position, the views from the lounge are mesmerising and the walk down to the town is fine, about 10 minutes and youre there where there are a few restaurants and a couple of pubs. We loved every single second of our trip to a beautiful, still relaxing and peaceful part of Cornwall.

Wonderful location and views from the lounge. Perfectly positioned for walking the Coastal Path. Enjoyed the open plan first floor which meant no one was isolated while cooking meals. We could tell the owners used the house themselves as it was so well equipped. Had a great meal at the Harbour Inn.

This is an excellent property, the location is brilliant and the views from the living area are sublime. The kitchen is well equipped and everything functioned as it should do. The bedrooms were comfortable and the hot water/heating was very good. The Lamp House is highly recommended and we would definitely return.

We have just returned from a fabulous fortnight in Porthleven, what a lovely Cornish harbour. The Lamp House is a wonderfully well equipped comfy dog friendly property with the most spectacular sea views. We have already recommended this property to family & hope to return in the not to distant future.

Beautiful house with an absolutely stunning view. Lovely walks straight from the front door. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, the best we have found in holiday accommodation. We would have no hesitation in recommending The Lamp House.
