CLIFF GARDEN - The cottage has a warm cosy feel and excellent accommodation. All reception rooms and bedrooms have a view of the sea. The famous Lugger Hotel and the Ship Inn are a few minutes walk away.

The garden is a highlight of the property with two stone terraces and a decking area looking right out over the sea, historic harbour and village.

The hallway is a listed lime kiln with plenty of room to hang your coats and leave your muddy boots. Off the hall way is a downstairs WC and utility area with Miele washing machine and tumble dryer.

There are three reception rooms - a breakfast room with a large window where you can sit and relax and watch the sea whilst having your morning coffee. A sitting room with full Sky+ package, DVD player (and selection of DVDs) and WiFi. The sitting room has a wood burning stove to snuggle up in front of in the colder months with a large corner sofa and two arm chairs to fit all the family comfortably. The dining room sits up to 10 people easily.

The kitchen is fully equipped with top quality appliances to include a Neff double oven including microwave and Neff warming drawer, dishwasher and floor to ceiling integrated fridge and separate freezer to stock your food for your stay. There is a full range of glasses even for cocktails and champagne and a Wedgewood dining service. The hob is induction and there is a full range of pots, pans, utensils and a large Le Creuset casserole dish. Tea towels and hand towels are provided - you should have everything you need.

There are three double bedrooms all with sea views - two have kings size beds and the third bedroom has two single beds that can be joined together to make a king size double. Please let me know when booking if you would like this as a double.

One of the bedrooms is en-suite with a bath with shower over. The other bathroom is large with a separate bath, WC, hand basin, large walk in shower, under floor heating and heated towel rail.

Even if you don't want to light the wood burning stove the property has full oil fired central heating, adjustable on the individual radiators.

OUTSIDE SPACE
This is one of Cliff Gardens best features. This can be accessed either by steps from inside the house or up a pathway between two neighbouring properties. At the top of the steps there is a lawn with terrace and table and chairs, seating six, chimenea, and BBQ. At the same level there is a small terrace with our very own canon.
You then walk up a few more steps to a large decking area that overlooks the sea. On the decking there are two steamer chairs as well as a table and chairs for six. The perfect place to sip your wine and enjoy your meals in the sunshine looking at the view.
The garden then continues up to another level where there is a secret garden and a bench where you can be quiet and read your book looking out over the ocean.

Please note that the stairs at the back of the house are quite steep - but there is sloping path access between the neighbouring houses.

Parents of young children please note that there is a fishpond which has been strong wire mesh covered for safety.

Pets are very welcome - our dog loves his Cornish escapes with us.

CAR PARKING
You can park outside the garage beside the property. There is space for one large car here. If you have a small vehicle then that can be parked inside the garage itself. There is a car park in the village approximately 3 mins walk away.

CHILD FRIENDLY
There is a travel cot with additional mattress, changing mat, stair gate and a high-chair.
There is a range of toys and games for children including a chalk board and books.
The little harbour is lovely for small children to paddle and look at the fishing boats.

Changeover Day: Usually Friday, however please contact owner as can be flexible off season.

Rates are subject to change until confirmed.

A deposit of 1/2 the full price is taken upfront and the remainder is payable 6 weeks before the date of the stay. This is paid directly to VRBO.

Peaceful Portloe
Perfect stay. Quiet but for the sound of the ocean. Beautiful walking in surrounding countryside. House is very comfortable and had everything we needed and for Aussies used to wider roads the village access was fine.

Lovely weekend break!
We had a lovely break here. Great communication from Fiona throughout booking. The home is very clean, comfortable and well-equipped plus the views from the bedrooms are amazing! Property is within a stones throw of the small harbour (perfect to give the dog a quick run) and the local pub with very friendly owner. Would absolutely recommend the property and the village.

Absolutely wonderful 🙌
We could not have asked have for anything more. The property is stunning with every large double bedroom benefitting from a sea view. Literally home from home! Kitchen well equipped with high end appliances. The garden is wonderful and we would love to return in the summertime to see all the plants in bloom, it’s obvious lots of time and effort has been put in. Visited for Christmas with 5 adults and two well behaved dogs. 5 stars!

Very nice stay in Portloe
The cottage is nice, quite spacious and very near to the sea. Garden with a beautiful view. The only downside is the slight dampness. But overall we loved our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Fiona Coulter

Host profile image
I have let Cliff garden since 2005. We use the cottage as a family holiday home too so I have tried to make it really comfortable and a good place to stay to enjoy the best Cornwall has to offer. I like to think of Cliff Garden as a home way from home and hope you will too.

Why they chose this property

Portloe is a beautiful picturesque fishing village on the Roseland Peninsula. It has wonderful beaches and cliff walks. Local pubs and restaurants serve delicious cuisine. It is very peaceful yet you are able to travel to all the attractions of Cornwall quickly and easily. A bus service runs through the village to local areas which can be very handy.

The cottage is actually situated on the South West Coat Path with stunning cliff views - perfect for walkers, and their four legged friends.

The little harbour and beaches nearby are perfect for walkers, swimmers, anglers and professional sand castle builders.

What makes this property unique

The atmosphere of the cottage and its garden is such that it is the perfect place to unwind. The lovely sea air and listening to the waves is so relaxing. To sit up in the garden and look out over the sea has meant many guests have hardly left the property during their stay.

The house has a comfortable feel with top quality beds for a good nights sleep.

The friendly Ship Inn about 100 metres away serves good pub food. The little harbour is ideal for swimming or paddling as well as watching the boats go in and out. Freshly caught crab and lobster is readily available.
