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. Great house/position,comfortable warm, & well equipped, you will have a lovely stay, we know as we have just stayed there for the 2nd year in a row. Hide

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.

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 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
