About this property

Finest Retreats | 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.

Cute cottage - too small for five
We liked the location, the decor and the cottage feel. There are no wardrobes and only tiny drawers so completely unpractical as no where to put clothes except tiny bedside table drawers and five coat hangers in each room. Really not good enough. When people go on holiday they take clothes. They shouldn’t have to live out of a suitcase or put them on the window ledge. Didn’t feel super clean - the inside of the drawers and kitchen cupboards were a bit marked, bedside table top was dirty on arrival & under the sofa cushions had not been recently hoovered.

Great stay
Clean tidy on arrival Some nice touches such as tea/coffee/milk on arrival Easy access with safe/key entry Great location Bins had not been collected from previous visitors (or two!) - green bin full plus black bags in back courtyard. Mattresses are adequate but could of been better.

Great location
The property was clean, within walking distance to the harbour. Useful washer, dryer which was great because we didn’t get much sun. Unfortunately the second double bedroom had very little room around the sides of the bed, my family found that quite restrictive. Both double bedrooms had soft mattress which were not good to sleep on, I wouldn’t return again due to this.

Perfect Cottage
A beautiful little cottage in the heart of Porthleven. The owners have decorated it so tastefully and there are plenty of nice touches to make your stay super. We loved it - a really home from home. Nothing, we loved it.

Perfect base for a wonderful Cornish break
We had the most wonderful week at Scallop Cottage, it’s the perfect base to check out Porthleven - an amazing harbour town with so many lovely places to eat, drink and explore. We were so impressed with the standard of the accommodation, it was a real home from home and and had everything we needed, from super soft towels and bedding, lovely glassware and even a high chair, travel cot and stair gate for our little one. It’s location was also brilliant for visiting other nearby attractions. We absolutely loved our stay and hope to visit again soon. The only thing we would improve would be to maybe have a bench/small table and chairs in the yard area to enjoy a glass of wine on warmer evenings as with a small child it’s difficult for us to stay out late
