This charming second-floor apartment in a picturesque harbour town on the South Coast is an ideal retreat for a couple seeking a vibrant escape. Set in scenic Porthleven, it is situated close to a range of superb dining options offering locally caught seafood, and numerous shops to browse. The sandy shores of Porthleven Beach, the breathtaking South West Coast Path, and the lively harbour are all nearby. A walk along the coastal path to Loe Bar offers spectacular views across Mount’s Bay. Experience a boat trip from the harbour or indulge in many of the water sports available. Garden fans will enjoy Glendurgan (14 miles) or Trebah (12.5 miles) as well as Godolphin (4.5 miles) – home to a medieval garden and historic house. Take a short drive to Marazion (8.5 miles) and witness St Michael’s Mount perched atop a rocky island just off the shore.

As you climb the stairs to the second floor of the building, you’ll find this apartment is located in a great corner position with views from the balcony across to the harbour. Enter the bright and modern open-plan space with the kitchen taking up one side, where all the amenities needed to prepare delicious meals together are provided. A dining table beckons you to sit down and linger over supper or lazy breakfasts. Moving on to the living area, you'll be drawn towards the balcony door to step out and breathe in the fresh, salty air. After a day of exploration, unwind on the cosy sofas, with a Smart TV and Sky provided for your entertainment so you can catch up on your favourite shows or movies. As night falls, retreat to the elegant bedroom equipped with plenty of storage for your belongings. One sofa can be set up as a sofa bed, suitable for two young children for an additional fee. Conclude your tour in the stylish bathroom, where you can refresh in a lazy bath or rejuvenate in the shower.

A door from the living room leads out to a balcony, furnished with a bistro table for two. It provides a lovely spot to relax with a drink and savour the invigorating coastal setting while observing the bustling activity around the harbour, regardless of the weather.

The apartment was lovely. It was very well equipped and in a convenient location. The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom was very quiet at night, we slept well. We had a lovely holiday and would most likely stay there if holidaying again in Cornwall.

A great apartment with views of the harbour from the balcony. It really was a home from home and had everything we needed. A welcome pack was waiting for us also. Would highly recommend this apartment and next time we visit Porthleven we will stay there again.

The property was a nice space to relax, being spacious for two people, and light and airy. It was comfortable, with good facilities and equipment. Having the balcony was a huge bonus, we loved sitting here in the morning sunshine and watching the comings and goings around the harbour. The property is in a good location in Porthleven, and near bus sRead moretops on a major route between Penzance, Helston and Falmouth if you dont want to drive everywhere. One slight issue; the changeover clean hadnt been done when we arrived shortly after 3pm. Thankfully it was soon resolved by the supervisor, and by 4.20pm we were able to check in properly. Hide

The location of the property was very good, we have stayed in Porthleven on several occasions, usually on low bar road. This is the 1st time we have stayed around the harbour, we really enjoyed the location, much closer to all the attractions. Perfect.

Good location, can be noisy opposite with venue playing live music. Also you can hear TV from next door in the bedroom. Useful having a parking space. Unlikely to hire an apartment in this block in future as we've stayed in the past before the live music venue opened.
