Rinsey Head, Incredible Sea Views from an Iconic House, Near Porthleven & Beach

Imagine a pod of dolphins playing in the Bay whilst you sit eating your breakfast? Many of our lucky guests have experienced exactly this! Rinsey Head is undoubtedly the best positioned house in South West Cornwall, located on an unspoiled stretch of coast near Porthleven; with breath-taking views to the Lizard and all the way across Mounts Bay to Lands End. The house perches on the edge of Rinsey Head and sits in grounds of approximately 30 acres making the house completely private – you feel almost like you are on your own island! Rinsey Head was built in the early twentieth century and is architecturally designed to maximise the views in every direction.
Despite its dramatic location Rinsey Head is an incredibly comfortable and welcoming family home, which exudes a real sense of adventure; on a beautiful summer day relax on the patio and drink in the views whilst a variety of seabirds circle above or on a wild Cornish day snuggle up in the cosy living room and watch the waves crashing below. The ideal choice for your family adventure or the ultimate choice for a special occasion.

You approach the house down a long driveway with breath-taking views in all directions, there is parking outside the front door for at least 3 cars, and plenty of room along the middle part of the driveway for any additional cars. There is a spectacular patio area, accessed from a door between the sitting & dining room, an ideal spot for sundowners or a barbeque in the evening. The house is surrounded (on 3 sides) by private land, largely in its natural state, growing a mixture of wild flowers, heather, bracken and gorse. The coastline either side of the house is owned by the National Trust. There is a private garage available for guests which is the ideal place to store beach clobber, surf boards etc; there is a tumble drier and spare drinks fridge in the garage.
Rinsey Headland offers stunning walks, either a spectacular circular loop or for the more energetic continue on the coastal path to Porthleven for a well earned cider at The Ship pub. There is a beautiful beach at Rinsey which is a 10 minute walk from the house (pretty strenuous walk back up!) or take the coastal path heading west and a 15-20 minute walk will bring you to the mile long sandy beach at Praa Sands. A perfect family beach with bars / restaurant at the far end, good surfing and life -guarded in season. Praa Sands is a 10 minute drive from the house, with plenty of parking at the far end.
