The details

Tucked away in the picturesque fishing village of Portloe, often described as the jewel in the crown of the Roseland Peninsula, Fable Cottage offers a truly unforgettable Cornish escape. This beautifully renovated townhouse is perfectly positioned for coastal adventures, with the South West Coast Path running right through the village and a handful of sandy beaches just a short drive away. Whether you’re here for bracing cliff walks, days on the sand, or sampling fresh seafood at the local pubs and restaurants, this is the ideal base for a coastal getaway.

The cottage has been cleverly designed with an upside-down layout to maximise the spectacular views of the bay. On the top floor, the contemporary lounge is a cosy yet stylish haven, with tall sash windows framing the sea, a sumptuous L-shaped sofa and a Cocoon bio-fuel burner adding warmth and atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine as you watch the fishing boats return to harbour or unwind with your favourite film after a day of exploring.

Adjacent to the lounge, the modern kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances, including an induction hob, oven, dishwasher, washing machine and fridge/freezer. A six-seater dining table sits at the heart of the space, ideal for leisurely breakfasts before hitting the coast path, or evenings of hearty home-cooked meals and card games with family or friends.

The three bedrooms are beautifully appointed, each offering a relaxing retreat. The master bedroom boasts a king-size bed with outstanding sea views, while a double room with ensuite provides privacy and comfort. A further double bedroom completes the set, making this a great option for families or groups of friends. Throughout, underfloor heating keeps the interiors cosy in every season.

Step outside and you’ll find yourself just moments from Portloe’s tiny harbour and a 17th-century pub, as well as the excellent Lugger Hotel Restaurant. Portloe Beach is only a few yards from the cottage and provides the perfect starting point for coastal walks or simply dipping your toes in the water. For days further afield, head to Carne Beach, Porthcurnick Beach or Towan Beach, or explore Mevagissey’s fishing harbour and Truro’s bustling shops and cathedral, both just a short drive away.

Fable Cottage blends style, comfort and unbeatable sea views, making it a dream base for your South Cornwall adventure.
