Fisherman’s cottage 100 yards from the sea with log burner and own parking

The village has a Beach Cafe and loft Bistro serving amazing Fish dishes, Fat Apples is a cafe half a mile out of the village creating fabulous breakfasts made with local ingredients, worth contacting any of these to confirm availability and book in advance. There are further pubs and restaurant in St Keverne.

The cottage has parking for one car and unlimited parking on the beach and a walled garden in which to relax if you prefer more private sun bathing.
All of the cottages energy comes from renewable sources.

Porthallow cove has generally calm seas great for kayaking and paddle boarding, swimming and diving, if you require bigger waves then Porthleven is only 20 minutes away for surfing.

If geology is of interest, the area boasts a large diversity of rock, being situated on a fault line. An early morning stroll on the beach will always show you something new.

The sandy beaches of Kennack and Kynance are all within a 20 minute drive.

Feedback from the chamberlains
Really enjoyable break in this lovely cottage. Very tastefully decorated with every thing you would need. A real home from home. I would recommend this property to my friends and family however the location was rather remote and as it is early May there was no beach bistro or pub open.

Nice property relaxed lication
We enjoyed our stay. The property was ideal for the two of us and two dogs. The location is very peaceful. Only downside was the the pub had lost its chef so there was nowhere to eat out within reasonable walking distance. They were working on that so hopefully not an issue for future bookings.

Lovely cottage
The cottage was well equipped and the garden opposite was a little place to escape from the family. Port Hallow was remote and the pub opening times were erratic and the Beach cafe simply wasn’t open despite information to the contrary when l emailed them prior to our visit. Beds were very comfortable. The cottage is a short walk to the beach and the whole area is dog friendly. It took me a while to get used to the small Cornish roads and reversing skill is essential. I would recommend the Fat Apple cafe that is 0.4 miles away - brilliant friendly service and excellent food.

A hidden gem.
Just a lovely property in a great location. It's obviously on the small side being a Fishermans cottage but it's bigger than it looks in the photos as was big enough for the 4 of us. The dining table seats 4 easily. The decor is lovely, really calming and the upstairs bedroom are lovely and light with the high ceilings. The beach is great for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking etc. The Fat Apple Cafe is definitely worth visiting as well. The thing we liked the most was how quiet is was compared to even the surrounding beaches. Will be staying here again and would definitely recommend it. Thanks Jon!

A wonderful peaceful holiday
This was just a beautiful place to stay. The cottage was amazing and had everything we needed. It was so quiet and with the perfect weather also, it was just heaven. The cottage is of a very high standard and we would recommend to anyone. We are so glad we found this place and will definately return. Beach was super especially early morning when dogs could rome free which they loved. The pub was fine and the food good. Overall a perfect stay. Thank you to the hosts for such a superb place.

Fantastic cottage and location
We had a great time at Bass Cottage, the location being so close to the sea was perfect. The cottage itself is lovely, exceptionally well maintained and equipped with everything that we needed for our stay. We would highly recommend Bass cottage as a place to stay and unwind.
