Cosy Beach House On The Seafront, Porthleven

Helston, Cornwall

Located in the serene coastal town of Helston, Cornwall, Mariners offers a tranquil retreat for up to four guests, featuring two well-appointed bedrooms. This charming beach bungalow, part of a pair of refurbished fishermen’s cottages, boasts breathtaking sea views from nearly every room. The property is designed for relaxation, with an open-plan living space that invites guests to unwind beside a crackling fire or enjoy meals prepared in the well-stocked kitchen. The sun-drenched terrace provides the perfect setting for evening drinks as the sun sets over the water, embodying the essence of coastal Cornwall.

The interior of Mariners is both spacious and tastefully decorated, combining nautical elements with modern comforts. On the entrance level, guests will find an elegant living area that seamlessly connects to the dining space, all framed by stunning views of the sea. The two bedrooms, located downstairs, are finished to a high standard. The master bedroom features a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom, while the second bedroom offers flexible sleeping arrangements with zip and link beds, also complete with an en-suite. The proximity to the seafront allows for easy access to beach activities, including paddle boarding and leisurely walks along the coastal path.

Mariners is ideally situated just a short walk from the center of Porthleven, a picturesque harbor known for its vibrant culinary scene. Guests can indulge in exceptional seafood at renowned establishments like Michael Caines’ restaurant or enjoy a unique dining experience at The Mussel Shoals, where patrons can book a private pontoon for their meals. The town also hosts a lively three-day food festival during the summer, showcasing local flavors and attracting visitors from near and far. For those seeking outdoor adventures, the surrounding area offers excellent hiking opportunities along the South West Coast Path, leading to stunning destinations such as the Lizard Peninsula and Praa Sands.

For convenience, a vehicle is recommended for exploring the more remote areas of Cornwall, though Mariners is conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from Porthleven’s amenities. A designated parking space is available outside the property. It's important to note that Mariners is currently undergoing renovations, set to be completed by late June 2023, which will enhance the property while reducing the number of bedrooms from three to two. This vacation home not only promises a peaceful escape but also provides access to the natural beauty and cultural highlights of the region, making it an ideal choice for holidaymakers.
