Cliff side location with Stunning Sea Views

Porthallow is an attractive village situated on the east side of The Lizard Peninsula just south of the Helford River Estuary. The area is well known for its beautiful coastline, sandy beaches and fishing villages with surrounding unspoilt countryside and farmland. The village has a craft shop and also a public house, the Five Pilchards, conveniently within staggering distance of the cottage.

Porthallow is a great place to fish either off the beach or from the rocks on either side of the cove. At low tide, children will enjoy the rock pooling and as the cove is usually quite sheltered, swimming and messing about in boats is great fun. Meanwhile ‘funnel watchers’ will enjoy the views in and out of
