About this property
12 Bay View is in one of the finest locations in town overlooking Porthleven harbour. Recently renovated, stylish and well-equipped it is a special place to enjoy a holiday and the views are to die for!
A private terrace with stunning sea and harbour views awaits you at 12 Bay View in Porthleven. Recently refurbished, this three bedroomed house which sleeps 5 people and 2 dogs, provides modern, contemporary living whilst still maintaining many of the original features associated with a property of this era. There are amazing sea views from the majority of the rooms and the seating in the open-plan lounge/diner has been carefully placed to make the most of them. Cosy window seats with plumped up cushions make it hard to tear yourself away from the views.
Porthleven has arguably the most impressive harbour in Cornwall with construction commencing during Napoleonic times and some sources state that it was built with the aid of French prisoners of war. Small fishing boats land their daily catch in the harbour, much of which is sold in Porthleven cafes and restaurants and the award winning Quayside Fishmongers. 12 Bay View has the best of both worlds - it’s just a few minutes’ walk from the village centre, yet is in a quiet location. A trip to the nearby Penrose Estate is a must during your holiday. Owned by the National Trust, it features woodland tracks, stretches of coastline and open parkland set around Cornwall's largest natural lake.

Mr Neill
This was a return visit to 12 Bayview and if anything it was even better than before. The quality and attention to detail of the fixtures and fittings was especially impressive and the house was warm, and inviting after raw March days out in S W Cornwall. There can be few better experiences than watching the early spring waves break over the harbour wall from the comfort of a cosy sitting room.

12 Bay View is a place to enjoy the delights of viewing a busy, bustling, and beautiful bay. Perfectly located near to the pubs, restaurants and cafes, gift shops and stunning stretches of coastal paths, 12 Bay View offers a little piece of Cornwall in perfect package suitable for families, friends, walkers, swimmers, surfers and doggies! There really is something for everyone in Porthleven. My family of four and our two dogs had a wonderful winter’s break away and would very much recommend this terraced cottage as a sea view pearl! Thank you.
