A divine pet friendly coastal cottage that sleeps 6 overlooking Porthallow, Cornwall. This perfectly renovated barn combines original features with modern comfort. Cosy bedrooms, a spacious comfy lounge with widescreen TV and wood-burner, a super equipped kitchen and a garden with a BBQ, furniture and views down to Porthallow Cove. Private parking for two cars available. Beach ½ mile.
Porthallow, meaning ‘Port at the end of the Moor’, is a small, tucked-away village on the east coast of the Lizard Peninsula. It was once a busy fishing port, famous for its thriving pilchard fleet – in fact, the old pilchard cellars can still be seen near the pebbly beach. Just a mile off shore is the Manacles Reef, a rocky outcrop, and the cause of countless historical shipwrecks. It’s a popular site for diving, accessed from the neighbouring Porthkerris Cove, where you can hire the gear, or book a boat trip to snorkel with the basking sharks. Nearby St Keverne has a handful of shops, two inns and a cluster of whitewashed cottages, all huddled around the village square, and overlooked by the impressive 15th Century church, St Akervnus.
