A charming holiday cottage, which overlooks Porthallow in Cornwall and is within walking distance to the local beach and amenities. Nestled in the hillside, this exquisitely refurbished barn is made to delight guests in every way and is filled with character and charming features such as beams, stonework, slate and a wood-burner. Outside there’s a large, furnished garden with views of the countryside down to Porthallow Cove.
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.
