Crab Pot Cottage

Crab Pot Cottage is a four-bedroom property in Porthleven, set above the working harbour with views across the water from its sitting area. The woodburning stove in the sitting room and enclosed patio make it a solid base for couples or families visiting this south coast harbour village.

Inside, the ground floor has a kitchen, utility room, dining room, and a sitting room with a woodburning stove. The four bedrooms include a king-size with en-suite bathroom, a small double, a twin, and a single room themed as a pirate cabin. A second shower room and downstairs WC complete the layout. Smart TV with Roku, WiFi, and a dishwasher are all included.

The enclosed patio has outdoor furniture and a barbecue, while a separate sitting area across the road overlooks the harbour. Roadside parking is available. Porthleven Beach is 600m away, and Porthcew at Rinsey Cove - a quiet National Trust cove with old mine workings on the headland - is 2.2 miles along the coast path.

Porthleven has become one of Cornwall's stronger food destinations, with Kota Restaurant and several harbour-front cafes within a short walk. The South West Coast Path runs through the village in both directions, with Loe Bar and its freshwater lake a worthwhile walk to the east.

Suits families and couples who want a four-bedroom base in Porthleven, with Kota Restaurant and the harbour-front cafes a short walk away and an enclosed patio for evenings.
