Look out over miles of blue Cornish sea. To the left you have the granite fishing harbour with shops and restaurants gathered around it. To the right you have the ancient iron age settlement, now grazed by ponies. On the horizon merchant ships on their way to the Atlantic or returning up the channel with their cargo. Nearer in you have the fisherman checking their crab pots. There is a great variety of birdlife and you might also see seals, dolphins and the occasional tuna.

The ground floor of Porthvean is designed as an open space, with an additional smaller living area both offer stunning views of the sea. Finished in high-quality oak and slate flooring, underfloor heating, and a Morso wood burning stove for added cosiness. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern amenities like a dishwasher, large fridge freezer, and an additional wine fridge. For added convenience, there is a utility room with a washing machine and a separate tumble dryer. There is also a downstairs shower room with walk in shower, sink and loo.

Upstairs at Porthvean you will find four bedrooms. The three double bedrooms with luxurious king-size Hypnos beds, ensuring a comfortable and restful sleep. What truly sets these bedrooms apart is their spectacular sea views, which offer a breathtaking backdrop to wake up to each morning. Additionally, there is a fourth bedroom furnished with two single beds, perfect for accommodating larger groups or families. The crown jewel is undoubtedly the master bedroom, complete with an ensuite bathroom featuring a bath and a separate walk-in shower. Alongside the master suite, a family bathroom with both a bath and a shower is available, along with a modern downstairs shower room complete with a basin and toilet. All the bathrooms are equipped with underfloor heating and heated towel rails, ensuring that guests are comfortable and warmth. The upstairs area is carpeted, for a cosy and inviting atmosphere throughout.

The house sits on a mini-peninsular which gives it, with its four bay windows, a 200 degree sea view, from the sheltered sandy beach out to the distant horizon and around to the craggy Chynhalls Point.

The garden and patio are south facing with a sheltered sunny courtyard for breezy days. There is an hot and cold outside shower for washing off sandy toes after trip to the beach. Unusually for the centre of the village there is private off-road parking, for two medium size cars or one large car. Super fast fibre optic broad band.

Coverack is a picturesque Cornish fishing village. Nestling around the granite built harbour are a pub and a restaurant both providing good food. Next door there is a coffee shop, which serves wonderful coffee, pastries and ice creams. Running along the side of the house is a path which leads to the beach. Opposite the house there is a park with swings and a slide for children.

Ensuring a Comfortable Environment for All Guests
Pets have always held a special place in our lives. Both David and I, having been brought up with dogs and cats, understand the joy and companionship they bring to family life. However, we also recognise that not everyone shares the same appreciation for pets, and some individuals suffer from allergies.
In order to maintain a comfortable and allergen-free environment for all our guests, we have made the decision to establish a no pets policy at Porthvean. We understand that it may seem disappointing for those who would have loved to bring their furry companions along, but we believe that this choice is necessary to ensure the highest levels of cleanliness and comfort for all visitors. Removing traces of pets from one stay to the next poses a significant challenge. Despite our best efforts, it is difficult to completely eliminate allergens and pet hair, potentially causing discomfort for those with sensitivities.
