Set in an attractive white washed terrace of former 1850's Coastguard cottages, Lobster Pot is tucked away against the cliff side in the older part of Portloe and benefits from an enclosed front garden which overlooks the valley and village as well as an elevated clifftop terrace with seating (accessed via a couple of flights of steps) with lovely views out to sea.
Lobster Pot is an ideal base for keen walkers with the South West Coast Path passing through the village. The historic fishing village of Portloe has a pub, and the Lugger Hotel located down on the slipway, welcomes non-residents to dine (subject to availability - booking advisable).
The village of Veryan, famous for its round houses, is just a couple of miles away, and here you will find the cutest village store and post office, conveniently open seven days a week to pick up your daily holiday essentials.
St Mawes, with its glorious castle, is a twenty-minute drive from Portloe. A passenger ferry from St Mawes to Falmouth operates throughout the year, and Falmouth is well worth a visit, with this popular maritime town being home to the world-renowned National Maritime Museum.
Beaches around the Roseland Peninsula, such as Pendower and Carne (even during the summer months) remain relatively uncrowded. The pretty villages of Portscatho, Gorran Haven and Mevagissey are all located along the Peninsula and are within a 30-minute drive of Portloe.
