If paradise exists, it’s here in Porthcurno! Close to mainland Britain's most south-westerly point, the village is home to a fine collection of impressive properties and an award-winning beach where the soft white sand is washed by a shimmering turquoise sea. High cliffs on both sides provide shelter for beachgoers, and at the top sits the iconic Minack Theatre, an absolute must-see. There’s history amid the natural beauty too: cables buried beneath the beach here spread across the seabed to connect Britain to the rest of the world – pioneering work that’s celebrated at the Porthcurno Telegraph Museum. Those with a sense of adventure can walk the South West Coast Path to Land’s End, which is less than 4 miles by car; just on the other side of this headland, Sennen Cove is a favourite among the surfing crowd.

This superb individual property in Porthcurno is a true masterpiece, offering an unrivalled combination of breathtaking views, elegant design, and refined comfort. With its four bedrooms, commanding location overlooking the valley and beach, and attention to detail in every aspect, this residence provides an exceptional living experience for those seeking a truly luxurious coastal retreat so you certainly won’t be disappointed! From arrival you’re greeted by wonderful vaulted ceilings and endless light, enter via the bespoke Cornish copper door into the welcoming entrance with beaming light throughout and cupboards to hang up your outerwear. Head through to the heart of this fabulous home with open-plan living at its finest. The kitchen area is well-equipped with everything you'll need for your memorable holiday, so plan your day with a morning coffee at the breakfast bar or enjoy lunch and evening meals at the dining table whilst listening to music in the background. Next to the kitchen area, you’ll find the utility room for all your everyday needs. Laze on your choice of sofas or cosy armchairs and watch your favourite films on the Smart TV, if you can take your eyes away from the panoramic views! Open up the floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and listen to the peaceful surroundings, further extending this incredible living space. From here, you’ll find a calming super-king-size suite with vaulted ceilings, superb views from the comfort of your bed, a walk-in wardrobe, a stylish en-suite shower room, and doors opening up onto a covered terrace to relax and gaze out to sea whatever the weather. There are also two stylish twin bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room, Juliette balcony with yet more views to Porthcurno beach and the ocean beyond. From the hallway is a family bathroom with a free-standing oval bathtub, perfect for a long soak after a day rambling the coastal path. Head downstairs to a self-contained suite with a kitchenette, shower room and super-king-size bedroom with window seating and far-reaching views across the cove.

Head outside from the living space onto a superb terrace which provides an ideal setting for Al fresco dining, entertaining or simply basking in the stunning views and soothing sounds of the nearby ocean. Whether relaxing in the summer sunshine or under the star-lit sky in this area of outstanding natural beauty, this truly is a wonderful escape to watch time stand still. From the terrace is a large gravelled area, bordered by mature shrubs and trees giving privacy and extending the outdoor space.

What a beautiful house in a wonderful location. So well equipped, and great for a group of four older ladies to relax and spend a fantastic weekend together. We were warm and cozy and the property was spotlessly clean with plenty of towels, and very well equipped. Thoughtful touches like the basket of throws in the lounge were appreciated, andRead more having a bathroom for each bedroom is just fab. Would happily stay again. Hide

Its all about the view. A party of two had an excellent week. Location exceptionally quiet, bed and bedding very comfy, lovely big towels and super en-suite to master bedroom. Kitchen great selection of equipment and very communal with big open plan a joy to cook in. For me really needed a tumble dryer. Items like salt & pepper not provided and limRead moreited other supplies. Missed not having a mirror in bedroom, limited in having to use wardrobe mirror in dressing room/ cupboard. Key safe is ridiculously placed and very very hard to access and use. The 2 x 2 seat sofas ideal for 2. But I cant see how this seating would work for any more than 4 people. 2 great comfy chairs separately and well placed to enjoy the view. Would recommend the rental for up to 4 people, due to sofa seating. Unless youre not bothered about sitting together as a group. Had an issue and management company very efficient and helpful. Response from Travel Chapter - Thank you for your kind comments regarding the comfort of the bedrooms and the well-equipped kitchen. We are sorry that you feel the seating to be inadequate for 8 visitors, as you quite rightly point out there are 2 x 2 seater settees plus 3 armchairs. There is also an additional armchair located in the bedroom to provide seating available for all. On the strength of your comments the key safe has been relocated. Hide

Beautiful and well appointed cottage above Porthcurno beach and close to the Minack theatre. Amazing views, stunning location, beach just a short 5 minute walk down the hill. Good ratio of bathroom's to bedrooms which suited us as a group of friends walking the costal path. Would highly recommend this place.

An exceptional property in beautiful surroundings, loved the views. So many walks, to the beach, Minack. We all enjoyed staying in Bracken Bank, so comfortable, the owner has obviously given a lot of thought into design, furnishings making the house welcoming, in fact best property weve stayed in over last five years.

Bracken Bank is a fantastic home with stunning views. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back in the future. The house is very well equipped, everything you may need has been considered. We had a home delivery from Sainsburys and we ordered our Gousto for a few meals during our stay. Cooking in the kitchen overlooking PorthcurRead moreno beach was a pleasure. There is a large American Style Fridge freezer and also two under counter fridges. The stairs lead down to a large bedroom, shower room and kitchenette. A great base for exploring Cornwall. Hide
