Ocean view is a wonderful, aptly named holiday cottage. It is a bright and spacious house with an incredible view of the ocean. It is a 10 - 15 minute walk to Porthleven itself but that is no problem as it helps build up an appetite if you're going to one of the many restaurants in the town - and you can walk off the calories on the way back!

From the moment we walked in we could tell this was a lovely place to stay, the views could not be beaten from both upstairs and downstairs. It really was exceptionally well equipped and very clean. Only thing missing was a Nespresso coffee machine but we knew this and took our own! Nice, easy walk to the town and directly from front door to theRead more coast path. Great walks around Loe Bar and The Penrose Estate. One parking space but lots of free parking just a short, couple of minutes walk away. Hide

If you want views to die for,private parking for a car & an enclosed garden for your pooch this is a great contender. Its close to great walks around the Penrose Estate, with far reaching coastline views, which are breathtaking. Fancy a pub meal,the Ship in has nice food & great outside views of the harbour & only 20 minutes walk from the house. BeRead moreach is 10 mins though not easy to walk on as its shingle,no real sand but lovely.

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
