Porthallow itself is good for snorkelling and swimming, with very clean water. Popular with divers and a good launch point for kayaks and sailing dinghies. If you can tear yourself away from Porthallow, the entire Lizard Peninsula, with its many beautiful villages and coastal spots, including Coverack, can easily be explored from the property. Among the picture-postcard villages recommended for a visit are Helford, Mullion and Cadgwith. Porthkerris Diving Centre is also located very close by if you are seeking a more active holiday. Plenty of family-friendly attractions can be found within a short drive, making them perfect for day trips, and include Gweek Seal Sanctuary and Flambards Theme Park. Closer to home, Porthallow now offers a range of different eateries including the Porthallow Beach Café next door to the pub, Fat Apples Café that serves great food using local produce and the village café that serves lovely cream teas in the Summer. This property is directly on the midway point of the famous South West Coast Path. There is a large carved stone marker on Porthallow Beach. This is the perfect place to stay for celebrating reaching halfway along the path if you are one of the brave few that take on the 630 mile trek!

The open-plan kitchen/diner is sure to be a place where most of your time will be spent, as it enjoys spectacular views out to sea. The kitchen is well-equipped with an oven and hob, fridge, coffee machine and microwave. The dining area is accessed via two steps up from the kitchen. The table comfortably seats four and is perfectly positioned next to a large window with beautiful views of the sea. There is a Smart TV in this space so that you can catch up on the news over breakfast if you're the first one up. A washing machine and freezer can also be found in the utility area, which has a door out to the back garden. Cosy nights in can be enjoyed in the lounge, featuring comfortable seating, a Smart TV, DVD and a hi-fi. A warming wood burner is the icing on the cake, with the first basket of logs included ready for your arrival. The two bedrooms consist of one twin and one king, which also benefits from an en-suite WC. There is also a family-style bathroom, with a shower over bath and a WC.

Outside of the property, guests can make the most of the breath-taking views on offer from the raised patio area, complete with seating. This is access off the utility room. Garage for storage available - ideal if you want  to bring along dinghies, surfboards, bikes or stand up paddleboards.

This is our second visit to this cottage and the location still blows me away . The cottage has all you need to be a home from home and I feel as if I have come home ,it's so relaxing, just sitting watching the waves and the boats go by . The villagers are so friendly and welcoming, I can't wait to come back .

Great location, Great view (even though you look over the car park). Clean and tidy house with all you need. The ladies looking after the house were friendly and great at what they do.
