The Lookout is superbly located being adjacent to the coastal path as it winds around the harbour out of Porthleven and has magnificent views over the outer harbour, along Porthleven beach and out to sea. It is a traditional Cornish cottage from which we offer self catering accommodation throughout the year.We have given the cottage its name because when we are staying there we are constantly looking out at the ever changing view. It could be to watch one of the local boats chugging out to sea, the anglers on the pier, the larger ships passing by on the horizon or the surfers cresting the waves closer to the shore. Just a stone’s throw away along the coastal path towards Rinsey and Praa Sands there is a wonderful cliff top walk with great views over Mounts Bay towards Newlyn and Mousehole. Ideal for an evening stroll at the end of the day or possibly the start of a longer and more vigorous venture. It is an easy walk past The Ship, a 17th century inn alongside the harbour, to the centre of the village. Porthleven has a working harbour, a beautiful beach and a variety of shops which will cater for most of your needs. Should you like a change from self catering there are a number of excellent restaurants and you will receive a friendly welcome from its three pubs. There is easy access to cliff walks in both directions and it is well situated if you wish to venture further afield to explore Cornwall’s renowned coastline and scenery. Over the years the cottage has been extended and refurbished but it still retains many of its original features. It now offers very comfortable accommodation to the modern holiday-maker. The ground floor accommodation consists of two double bedrooms, one with a king size bed and twin beds in the other, a bathroom with a power shower over the bath and a fully equipped kitchen to help you make the best of the self catering aspects of your holiday. Although there are excellent sea views from all of the front windows the sitting/dining room is placed on the first floor to give it commanding views out to sea and along the coast. It has an open fire which will take coal or logs.
