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

A wonderful week
Farm Cottage was our wonderful home for the week, set in a quiet little village, it was the perfect place to relax and unwind. It was also superbly located for lovely beaches and places to visit. Hosts were really responsive to any queries and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to anyone looking to get away from it all.

Wonderful break...
We were two families of 3 & 4 (with 3 teenagers between us) sharing Farm Cottage for our 2 week Summer 2021 break and we all had a wonderful stay. The house was spacious, clean and homely with every utensil/pan/facility you could wish for (incl. the extra fridge in the barn for over-spill). We met the lovely neighbour - Carole - she was really helpful and the fact her garden was directly overlooked/viewed from the downstairs bedroom didn't prove an issue in terms of privacy (as I think one review mentioned). Having been warned that the drive at the cottage was quite tight for larger vehicles, we didn't attempt to park there until the last day when we thought it might be easier for check-out & surprisingly our Mitsubishi Outlander went down without too much difficulty (sadly the same couldn't be said for our friend's XC90!). That said, parking in the village car park didn't ever prove an issue during our stay despite being full most evenings (I believe this year has been an exception) and was only a 5 min stroll up the road from the cottage (on arrival we just pulled up outside and quickly decanted the car before just the drivers returned to the car park). Communication with Caroline & Tony (the owners) was timely and they were able to advise on loads of places to visit/things to do, which we found really useful. All in all we had a fab two weeks exploring The Roseland Peninsula and the weather was kind (not quite Italy but could have been worse!). Thank you for our stay and thank you Portloe for your charm, beauty and friendly pub/locals - hopefully we'll be back one day :-)

Wonderful!
We really loved Farm Cottage, such a cosy and welcoming place that had absolutely everything we needed, a proper home from home. It was spotless when we arrived and we settled in straight away, it just felt so cosy with lovely colourful sofa’s and beautiful artwork. The kids especially loved their twin room and the toys that were in the house, loads of Lego, jigsaws, trucks and many adult games like scrabble too. We visited many of the recommended places, The Hidden Hut had a seafood stew to die for! We bought some delicious fish which we had no problem cooking as the kitchen had every utensil and pot you could imagine, including a large pot for our tasty mussels. We used the bbq on several occasions and we ate at the local Lugger Hotel in Portloe once which was really lovely, sitting on the veranda overlooking the sea. The beach around the corner in Portholland was a real gem, recommended by Carol the neighbour. Portloe is just a gorgeous little village, not busy or over crowded, very picturesque. We were sad to leave and would definitely stay again, the cottage was great and just what we hoped it would be. P.s - for anyone wondering about the parking, we have a Ford S Max and managed to get it on the drive away.

A peaceful and relaxing escape
The whole process of booking and staying in this wonderful cottage was a real pleasure. The cottage was exceptionally clean and tidy when we arrived, well ventilated and clearly well looked after and cared for. The cottage had a very welcoming feel and character and was equipped with everything we needed in terms of practicalities and comforts. We really enjoyed wandering along the coastal paths in / around Portloe . As well as being able to sit on the deck of the cottage at the end of the day, enjoying the calm, peace and quiet. The cottage and it’s location were exactly what we needed to unwind and recharge our batteries. What a lovely place in which to spend some time.
