About this property

Large Traditional Cornish Stone Cottage In Portloe Village - The Roseland AONB

Farm Cottage nestles into the valley beside the stream leading to the attractive harbour about 100 metres away. The Ship Inn is under excellent new management and is just up the road less than two minutes walk.
The Lugger Hotel is situated in the Harbour. Portloe is situated in the Roseland section of the South Coast Central Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is perfectly located for walks on the South Cornish Coastal path. Portloe is the quintessential sleepy fishing village that is the natural setting for many a television series including the latest Rosamunde Pilcher and The Camomile Lawn. Farm Cottage was originally the village Farm House and having been subjected to major renovation is warm and comfortable yet stylish and light filled with many paintings and works by local artists.
Modern communications have reached Portloe with a good 4G mobile signal. High speed fibre broadband is provided within Farm Cottage with a recent upgrade to ensure better coverage throughout. The TV box talks to the WiFi so catch up and streaming services can be accessed. A Sonos sound system has been installed in the sitting room, providing great sounds from Amazon music and all BBC Sounds.

There is always wine & usually beers in the outside fridge for when you arrive so make yourself at home. Ideally please replace like with like, but don't feel too bad about a bottle or two - as long as you enjoy your stay in Farm Cottage and come back next year!

Ssshh! Don't tell anyone about Portloe!
What a fantastic find! I've stayed on the Roseland peninsula before and visited many times, but Portloe really is in a class of its own. Farm Cottage was delightful - a real home from home. It's patently clear that many happy times have been spent here and ours was just another chapter. The host could not have been nicer, alerting us to events and throughout the week and helping us to unlock the secrets of this charming corner of Cornwall. The access to the parking at the property is definitely a challenge, but, with care, most cars should manage. We got an Audi A3 and a Volvo C70 in (and out!). There are lovely beaches nearby, although access to some of those is also challenging (in a good way). We definitely plan to come again, and wish the host and her family all the best!

Beautiful place
Well-communicated with the host about the house, location, check-in process, and local events. The road to the parking space was a bit narrow, however, I managed to park Skoda Kodiaq with 4 bikes in the towbar. Very positive experience in general

Nice and quiet place for family holiday
Despite the weather we had a wonderful time at Farm Cottage. The house is fully equiped for at least 7 or 8 people in the picturesque village of Portloe. Nice area to do some hiking, take a swim at one of the nearby beaches, collect local food and fish from the farm shop of Curguerrel Farm. The entrance is indeed quite narrow, but it wasn't any problem to park at the Portloe Carpark nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs. Caroline Bowden

Host profile image
We live in London and have grown up children. My husband and I both work, but spend most of our holidays at our cottage in Portloe and feel very much a part of the community. Farm Cottage is our second home and as such we have tried to make it as comfortable as possible. Our objective is to keep it that way and so we make the cottage available for rent to help cover costs.

Why they chose this property

We love Farm Cottage and Portloe because of its location and the beauty of The Roseland. My husband has deep family ties to this part of Cornwall so for him being here is like coming home. We love the boating the fishing the tennis and the cliff and beach walks. There are some great pubs and eating places nearby with famous attractions of The Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan not far away. For those whose idea of paradice is a beautiful beach with hardly anyone on it - you have come to the right place.

What makes this property unique

Farm Cottage is an old stone cottage that we have largely rebuilt and modernised as our second home. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we enjoy being here. If you happen to play tennis we are very fortunate to have a great tennis club just up the road in Veryan. Court booking can be accessed online on the Veryan & Roseland Tennis Club
