Lovely
We really enjoyed our week in this house. The location is fantastic - you are right in the centre of the village. It's comfortable and light and good for small children.

A beautiful and well appointed cottage in a really special location on the Roseland Peninsula
Thoughtfully equipped for a family holiday, the cottage feels welcoming and comfortable whilst still being smart and spotlessly clean. We loved sitting out on the decking in the evenings and were a stone's throw away from the village shop, pub, bistro and Harbour club. A beautiful cottage in a great location -loved Portscatho, such a pretty village and very friendly- you must visit the Harbour club which is the social club in the village and for a small fee you can access. Watching the sun go down from their balcony is a must. A short walk to The Hidden Hut on Porthcurnick beach, again great atmosphere and food. Towan beach beautiful and our favourite- white sand and turquoise sea and a great tea van in the courtyard behind beach. Also kayaked and sailed from St Mawes, a short drive away. In all a great holiday in a beautiful part of Cornwall, we were very sad to leave and will definitely return as we ran out of time to do everything! Would definitely go back to Portscatho as a base, a really special village and a lovely cottage to stay in.

About the host

About the owner: Lives in Somerset. Year purchased: 2007. Unique benefits of the property: The property sits just behind the main square in Portscatho so all amenities in the centre and the beach/Lugger are just a minute walk away. The property benefits from private parking for 2 cars which is almost unique for centrally located properties. This is our family holiday house. Our children and grand-children use the house for their annual holiday so inside is fully set up for family needs.
