About this property
Scallop Cottage
Scallop Cottage is a newly renovated, delightfully stylish character property in the heart of Porthleven. Just a short walk to the harbour and beaches, and even closer to restaurants and shops, this is an incredible luxury cottage that will be the perfect base from which to enjoy your next holiday in Cornwall.
Entering in through the front door, you are welcomed into a wonderfully homely living room, with a feature fireplace containing an electric wood-burner effect fire. With chic styling and generous sofas to sink into, this is an ideal space to unwind in an evening after a long day of exploring the coast.
The kitchen-dining room is smart and very nicely fitted out with wooden cabinetry. There are all the amenities needed for you, including full oven and hob, kettle, toaster, microwave, and fridge freezer. A delight to cook in, this space offers the all-important element of having the dining area and kitchen space open as one, ideal for socialising with family at the table as you prepare your favourite holiday breakfast!
The dining area offers a rustic wood table and benches, and complete with beautiful complimentary kitchenware, the feeling of luxury is superb.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, both with hanging and storage space, and tastefully decorated for a calm and airy feel. There is also a third bedroom with full size single bed, suitable for either an adult or child, and also offering sophisticated decor.
The family bathroom, also located on the first floor, is pristine in a classic style, offering mains shower over the bath with a rainfall shower head, large basin, and close-coupled WC.
Outside, there is a small rear patio area, perfect for storing beach equipment or surfboards, until you are ready to hit sea and sand again the next day!
Locally, you are spoilt for choice in this excellent location; there is the National Trust estate of Penrose to visit, Praa Sands, Marazion and St Michaels Mount to the west, and Helford Passage to the East. The north coast is also within easy reach by car, offering more stunning beaches and coastline such as St Ives, Zennor, and Carbis Bay.
Book easily online through the Finest Retreats website, and start looking forward to your next Cornish adventure.
