Ocean View is a short walk to the centre of the village, its harbour and beach.

Our stay at Ocean View was beyond all expectations, the house was so comfortable, well equipped and in a stunning location. Porthleven itself is a hidden gem whatever the weather. We will definitely return.

This property is located in a beautiful area with stunning views over the coastline. We found it comfortable and quiet, although if you have a dog you need to be aware that there isnt a utility room for wet dog towels and walking boots.

We have stayed at many luxurious and high quality "cliff-side" properties in Cornwall over the last twenty years or so, but Ocean View in Porthleven has easily been the most relaxing and most enjoyable for us. The layout is slightly unusual in having the front-door lead to the bedrooms, with stairs leading down to the living area. As it is, my wifeRead more and I found ourselves spending most of our time in the bedroom (stop sniggering at the back) with the glorious floor-to-ceiling, full width window looking out to the sea and the equally fabulous private outside balcony. The continuous sound of the waves is truly intoxicating, as are the views both upstairs and downstairs. The property is extraordinarily well equipped, particularly in the kitchen where almost every cooking need is catered for. The layout is essentially open-plan and both the living area and main bedroom feel huge with the latter, as mentioned already, doubling as a very agreeable living space during the day. Position-wise, Ocean View enjoys a near-perfect location at the end of Loe Bar Road. There is very little vehicular traffic during the day (perhaps two or three cars an hour), consisting merely of a few folk parking to enjoy the short (and very easy) walk along the coastal path to Loe Bar. At night, there are no cars at all and no street lighting such that the property is thus always very peaceful. Despite this, Porthleven town centre is a mere fifteen to twenty minutes' walk away, depending on level of fitness, and is delightful. As an aside, we enjoyed both Michelin "recommended" restaurants, The Square and Kota, the latter providing a superb nine-course tasting menu. All in all, we have thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks at Ocean View and very much look forward to returning in the near future. To the owners, thank you! Hide

Waking up to the views out of the bedroom window each morning is pretty special. It was very odd coming home and not being able to hear the breaking of the waves. This is our second time to Ocean View and we hope to come again, as do our dogs who very much enjoyed their holiday. Porthleven is excellent with lots of lovely walks on the doorstep.

The master bedroom with the view was fantastic, however the second bedroom was a little on the small side and lacked in storage space. The outside patio needed to be smartened up and cushions for sunloungers supplied. The steps down to the grassed area were difficult to negotiate as trees from next door had grown over partially blocking the steps dRead moreown. The grassed area had an old broken sunlounger which need to be disposed of and this area made more usuable as its more sheltered from the wind. Hide
