Set just a few minutes’ walk from the harbour and seafront, this is a lovely base for storm-watching in the colder months and sun-filled coastal excursions in the warmer. Offering a ground floor living space as well as two delightful upper floor bedrooms, the cottage, thanks to its original features; feels spacious and airy while at the same time quaint and cosy. There's also a surprise up its sleeve…a fantastic garden to the back which has been cleverly landscaped to create a large, contemporary outdoor space that's ideal for fresh air dining and for spending time in the sunshine. Cooking is a joy in the home’s modern Shaker-style kitchen where ample worktop space and a range of appliances provide all that guests would need to rustle up a few home-style classics, while the breakfast bar invites morning gatherings where chats about the day’s plans can be shared over a coffee. Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and with sweeping views towards Mount’s Bay, Porthleven is wonderfully positioned and offers visitors an unspoiled taste of West Cornwall’s beaches and coastline. Town life centres around its historic harbour and quay which bustles with the activity of fishing boats offloading their daily catches, and there’s an authentic atmosphere of the 'real Cornwall' here, where its historic fishing roots have carried through to modern times. A wealth of award-winning restaurants serve up delicious offerings using the freshest of fish and seafood caught in its very own waters, and for those wishing to curate a home-cooked feast of their own, the famous Quayside Fishmongers is where you'll find some of the best scallops, lobster, Rock Salmon and Wild Bass (to name just a few). Ideal for families, Porthleven’s three-mile beach is sandy and golden and when the tide is out, the neighbouring beach of Loe Bar is a 2 mile walk away. Nearby the Penrose Estate’s rich farm and woodland make for a lovely day out, while the Lizard Peninsula and Land's End are within easy reach by car. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Internet access ### Kitchen -

It was cosy and clean inside, the beds were comfortable, there was a good shower, and it was easy to park. We also loved Porthleven. It was a great base to explore Cornwall and we could also park at The Hideaway and walk to the variety of local restaurants and pubs and have a drink This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam B. 26 Aug 2023 #### Fabulous cottage This is a fabulous little cottage, wonderfully decorated and kitted out, in a brilliant location for exploring the very best of Cornwall. The only thing missing was a sea view, but when you’re such a short walk from the harbour and beach you really can’t complain. ##### Sam B. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin B. 28 Jun 2024 #### Excellent modernised cottage Well located property within walking distance of the harbour and the local pubs/restaurants. Modernised to a high standard with comfortable beds. Made good use of the garden with 2 sitting areas to make best use of the sun. Always able to park on the road outside, albeit car park in close proximity. ##### Martin B. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 17 Oct 2023 #### A Top Stay in Porthleven The Hideaway was ideal for the two of us, plus our four-legged friend. Location was excellent, being only a few minutes' walk to all of the action, while the cottage itself was clean, tidy and very well appointed. It was great to have an enclosed garden area, which meant letting our dog to sample all of those new smells was no problem. We also found that the welcome instruction folder was very good, with detailed helpful instructions. Being able to park virtually right outside was also a major plus. Overall, a great stay.

Everything you could need . We are returning this year This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin D. 22 Aug 2025 #### Lovely Week in Porthleven The Hideaway was an excellent base for a holiday in this beautiful part of Cornwall, with easy access to Land's End, the Lizard, Truro and all places in between. The house itself was very comfortable and well-equipped. All the rooms were nicely decorated, modern and very clean. The outside area is a lovely place to sit, particularly in the morning sun. It was ideal for our party of four adults, but would also be great for a small family. The harbour, just a short walk away, was lovely with lots of restaurants and bars and a good array of nice shops. Parking was a concern for us, especially in peak season, but we managed to find a free space close by every day with no problems. We had a fabulous week at The Hideaway and would definitely return when planning another trip to Cornwall. ##### Kevin D. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carly H. 3 Jul 2023 #### Stunning property Absolutely stunning property. Extremely well thought out and you can tell the owners have considered everything, whether it be the comfort of the essentials such as beds and sofas to the immaculate kitchen and shower room, to the outside space. We couldn’t haven’t asked for me. Parking could be slightly tricky but we were there at one of the busiest times of year, shouldn’t be a problem the majority of the time. Would thoroughly recommend this cottage to anyone looking to stay in Porthleven - it’s not cheap, but you certainly get what you pay for. ##### Carly H. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Jeffrey A. 10 May 2024 #### Convenient location and easy parking Very well equipped and maintained property. Only shortcoming was complexity of setting up tv service on multiple controls. Would have been nice also to be able to record programmes for viewing later. Netflix downloads were also unavailable on our home subscription. ##### Jeffrey A. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > > [Mullion Cove Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Helston-Hotels-Mullion-Cove-Hotel-Spa.h3775181.Hotel-Information) > > [The Paris Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Helston-Hotels-The-Paris-Hotel.h30612267.Hotel-Information) > > [The White Hart](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Helston-Hotels-The-White-Hart.h5064444.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [The Shipwrights Arms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Helston-Hotels-The-Shipwrights-Arms.h99994782.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Cottage set in 2 acres, next to coast path, short walk to beach, pub & cafe! 😎](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Helston-Hotels-Cottage-Set-In-2-Acres.h90225332.Hotel-Information) > > [House with Stunning Sea Views](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Helston-Hotels-House-With-Stunning-Sea-Views.h39861807.Hotel-Information) > > [Polurrian on the Lizard](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Helston-Hotels-Polurrian-On-The-Lizard.h7509408.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunny Corner Self Catering Holiday Cottage on the Lizard in Cornwall.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Helston-Hotels-Sunny-Corner-Cottage-At-Parc-An-Grouse.h37688307.Hotel-Information) > > [Waterside 16c Cottage.
