Close to Porthleven's famous harbour, this home has large decked areas and pretty sea views. While it won't be suitable for infants under the age of 3, we think it's a great choice for families with older kids. The living room and kitchen are on the ground floor, enjoying fantastic views and a private balcony. Downstairs, the bedrooms have access to the multi-level patio where you'll find a picnic bench and space to relax. Having a car here might be helpful for getting around, but if you don't drive, fear not – Porthleven's sandy beach and harbour are both within easy walking distance.

About Porthleven
Once a sanctuary for stranded seamen whose ships had been wrecked off England’s south coast, it’s no longer an unhappy coincidence that will take you to Porthleven. The town is a popular seaside destination with one of the best food scenes in Cornwall – Michael Caines has a restaurant here. Aside from its culinary offering, Britain’s most southerly port is known for its boat-filled harbour, pretty Victorian terraces, and 70-foot-high,...
