About this apartment rental
Dating back to the 1890’s this traditional fisherman’s cottage with its whitewashed stone exterior and newly refurbished interior, creates an utterly charming family retreat within the coastal town of Porthleven in West Cornwall.
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.
Pets: 1 small dog up to the weight of 20 kilograms is accepted, £40 per pet per week, in line with our house rules we do ask that pets are not left alone in the property, do not use the furniture or go in the upstairs/bedroom areas

We visit every autumn ( if we can ) it’s a lovely small converted fisherman’s cottage within walking distance from the harbour . Very well fitted out and has everything you need for your stay .

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.

We loved staying in this beautiful cottage, a few minutes walk from the main harbour.
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

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.
