Overview
Property code: OC-CLIFTO

Cliff Top Cottage is a New England styled cottage located on the popular Loe Bar road, just moments from Porthleven beach. This reverse-level property has been designed to make the most of the stunning sea views, with an open plan kitchen and living area that leads on to a private balcony overlooking the sea. For alfresco dining with a view there is the outside patio area with large picnic bench; perfect for having a barbecue during the summer. Parking is a luxury in this harbour town, but Cliff Top Cottage has the advantage of 2 single garages, which can also be used to store outdoor equipment such as wetsuits, surf boards and bicycles.

Porthleven is a popular fishing harbour located in West Cornwall, near to the town of Helston and Marazion. The harbour front is dotted with a superb selection of shops, restaurants and pubs, which means you’ll never be out of options for somewhere to eat and drink. The small beach directly opposite the cottage is accessible during low tide, but for those looking to make a whole day out of it the family friendly beaches of Praa Sands and Perranuthnoe are just ten minutes by car.

Lovely, superbly clean accommodation in a super position. The garage was a real advantage as parking can be very difficult at times in Porthleven. The welcome tray was greatly appreciated after our marathon trek from the Scottish Borders. All in all a perfect spot for our stay in Cornwall.

Fabulous stay in this well equipped property. Views across to the sea are without question the best feature. We visited in February half term with 3 dry and occasionally sunny days for walking on the nearby coast path. We then had two days of stormy weather. Watching the sea change from the comfort of the property was amazing. It was warm when we nRead moreeeded it to be, and by opening the doors to the sound of the sea was a lovely way to start the day. We both agreed that we would revisit this property again in the future, which is unusual for us as regular visitors to Cornwall we tend to always stay somewhere different. Having a secure private car parking space was a bonus! All in all- highly recommended! Hide

A lovely cottage with a mesmeric view of the sea, and within very easy distance to village, shops, restaurants, beach and coastal path. Bedrooms are very snug. Being able to use the garage to hang wet suits and boards etc was extremely useful. We had a great time and so did our dog.

The fabulous location of this upside down cottage enables guests to savour the full breadth of Mounts Bay from the comfort of the sofa, including occasional sightings of a seal or even dolphin. The nearby Atlantic Inn has a welcoming vibe and a great view of sunsets. Step out of the front door onto the coastal path to Gunwalloe Cove or Praa Sands iRead moren the opposite direction. Porthleven is an enjoyable stroll downhill to the picturesque harbour where a multitude of excellent eateries await or the local independent Pengellys store for essentials. Hide

Love this little property. Its perfectly placed with a stunning view, without being over priced and too big. We have only ever stayed here in winter and there is nothing more cosy than sitting on the sofa watching the stormy waves roll in from the Atlantic. You are so close we have even had seaweed on the balcony on one visit. At night you can hRead moreear the waves on the shore line. Its not a big property but has everything you need - and the upstairs open plan in this "upside down" house feels spacious and roomy. Highly recommended Hide

The cottage was lovely, exactly as described, with everything you would need included. The views over the sea are fantastic, sadly no big storms while we were there, but the weather was good and meant we could open the French doors and enjoy the sunshine. The walk down to Porthleven was pretty and easily walkable with great cafes and would recommenRead mored the Habour Inn to eat out, very dog friendly. One downside, the pillows were uncomfortable, but a very small niggle in comparison to the really good standard of the property. Having a garage was useful although if you own a large 4x4 I doubt it would fit. The patio area outside was great for drying the dog after visiting the beach. Would definitely come back and stay again. Hide
