On the ground floor there is a spacious sitting and dining room, creating an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining. There is a large characterful inglenook fireplace with multifuel stove.

Location – Set on the magnificent Lizard Peninsula, not far from the tranquil creeks of the Helford River, lies one of Cornwall’s most historic coastal villages. Known locally as ‘Pralla’, Porthallow was once a thriving fishing community and home to a busy fleet of pilchard luggers, hence the name of its traditional village pub, ‘The Five Pilchards’. The family owned pub is undoubtedly the hub of the village.

A short walk from the village you’ll find the Fat Apples cafe with its delightful garden.

A few steps down to the beach there is parking freely available to Porthallow residents.

Steeped in maritime heritage, this idyllic corner of the south Cornwall coast offers a wonderful local community within easy reach of the region’s most beautiful beaches. A good range of day to day facilities are on offer in nearby St Keverne, with its shop and two characterful pubs. More comprehensive facilities including a choice of national super markets are located in Helston.

Porthallow is recognised as the half-way point along the world-famous South West Coast Path as it winds its way from Minehead to Poole. From the doorstep of this beautiful cottage you’ll be perfectly placed to access breathtaking coastal walks with far-reaching views across the sparkling waters of Falmouth Bay and St Mawes. The Porthallow valley trail is bathed in bluebells during the spring and the headland is a canvas for wildflowers atop of the serpentine rock formations, resplendent in their red and green hues.

Porthallow Beach is sheltered by the surrounding headland, a scenic stretch where the pilchard fisherman used to launch their boats. Porthallow Cove is full of rock pools at low tide and is also a great spot for snorkelling. The beach is now owned by the Porthallow Village Association with residents enjoying the right to moor, store and launch their boats.
