With spectacular views of the sea and rugged coastline, this detached family house is set in a superb cliff top position high above Porth Chapel beach.

Approached by a narrow lane that leads from the village of Porthcurno, past the renowned Minack Theatre down to the 12th century church of St Levan and entered through the parking area, a few railed steps lead down to the front door which opens to the hallway, a utility room with shower and an adjacent breakfast room.

With double glazed French Windows looking westwards over dramatic headlands and far out to sea the main living area is a delightful family room with comfortable seating, a dining suite, and a hatchway separating the fitted kitchen. Leading off are a small TV room and a south facing garden room which provides a spectacular vantage point for watching the birdlife circle above the rocks and waves.

The remainder of the ground floor accommodation comprises two bedrooms with a 5ft double and twin 3ft beds respectively, a bathroom with vanity basin and a separate W.C. Upstairs are two further bedrooms each with an en-suite W.C. and basin, one has twin 3ft beds, the other is a large childrens room with two sets of 3ft bunk beds, and there is a shower room on the landing. The unfenced sloping ground around the house makes it unsuitable for children under 5.

The splendid sandy coves of Porth Chapel and Porthcurno are a few minutes walk away as are the open air Minack Theatre and Visitor Centre and Porthcurnos secret Wartime Telegraph Museum. The South West Coastal Path is close by and there are stunning sea views around Gwennap Head leading to Lands End 3 miles away. Penzance, 9 miles, has a wide selection of amenities including a railway station and is the main gateway to the Isles of Scilly by boat or helicopter.

Please note: Electricity and night storage charged by meter reading at 14.05p/unit peak & 8.07p/unit off-peak plus £1.50/week standing charge payable on departure.  Not suitable for children under 5.

Sleeps
Close
When a property shows 'sleeps' in the format X-Y, X equals the maximum number of adults that can comfortably be accommodated and Y indicates the maximum number of adults + children that can be comfortably accommodated in the property.
Customer Rating
Close
Our rating method, the popular "smiles" system is generated entirely by the feedback we receive from our visitors. The number of smiles is arrived at by taking the average grading given to the question:

How would you rate the cottage's fittings, furnishings and equipment?’

A property will achieve a rating of 5 Smiles down to 1 Smile, although it is our policy not to carry any properties with ratings lower than 3 Smiles. The customer chooses from the following ratings:
  1. Excellent
  2. Good
  3. Satisfactory
  4. Below standard
  5. Poor
There are a number of properties that have been recently added to our portfolio and these are graded "New".
Pets
Close
There is an extra charge for pets, most commonly at £18 pppw (per pet per week).

Assistance dogs are of course welcome in all our cottages free of charge, however owners of them should be aware that a considerable number of people are allergic to dogs and in some cases can have a severe reaction. Owners are therefore encouraged, where at all possible, to choose a property which normally allows pets.

Some properties accept pets other than dogs, but in all cases we are required to confirm consent from the cottage owner. Please contact the office on 01208 821 666 if you would like to take a pet other than a dog with you to one of our cottages.

Loyalty Discount
Close
A 5% loyalty discount is available at some properties for guests who have booked a second or further holiday within 2 years through Cornish Traditional Cottages. If you are eligible for the Loyalty Discount your final balance payment will be reduced accordingly after your booking has been submitted. The Loyalty Discount cannot be claimed with any other discount.
How to book
Close
  1. Select the check box next to the week(s) you wish to book. Multiple weeks can only be booked consecutively. Non consecutive weeks must be booked separately.
  2. A summary of your booking will appear. To proceed with the booking select the 'Continue booking' button in the summary box. Deselect the weeks to remove the summary box.
  3. Weeks marked as 'Reserve' (highlighted in blue) cannot be booked at this point in time because availability and prices have not yet been agreed with the owner. You can reserve these weeks in your name until availability and pricing has been agreed. It is important to note that a 'Reserved' period can only be confirmed in your name if the owner wishes to make the Reserved period available for booking.
  4. 'Reserved' weeks (as opposed to 'Reserve' weeks) can only be booked by a customer who has 'Reserved' the highlighted period.

Pricing information

All prices are per week per property. Many properties promote an all inclusive price although some charge for extras such as bed linen, towels, heating and/or electricity. The Property description will detail any extra charges.

Definitions

Booked: A customer has committed to a holiday period by paying a deposit or the full amount for a rental period.

Reserved: When a property is not yet available to be booked, a customer can 'Reserve' the property in their name on a first come first served basis. When Cornish Traditional Cottages and the owner have agreed availability and pricing for your selected period we will contact you to let you know if you can then book the property in your name. A Reservation does not guarantee a booking because the owner has first right of refusal on all availability.

It is important to note that a 'Reserved' period can only be booked if the owner wishes to make the 'Reserved' period available for booking. Upon completion of your reservation you will receive confirmation by email or post containing details of the reservation.
