  • "The Bathroom window needs repair."

    Would not close and the handle fouls the blind. A pity no Kitchen Roll was provided for the empty holder.

  • "Porthgwarra & its envious are stunning, nothing more, nothing less!"

    We always feel so calmed from the moment we arrive.

  • "Porthgwarra never disappoints - We have been coming here since our daughters were small so the best part of 35 years."

    Feels like home. A Beautiful week with gorgeous weather so we made good use of the coast path in both directions. Also a wonderful afternoon at Cape Cornwall- Sea Choughs and seals (including one being 'rehomed' by the seal rescue centre. Trenainton and Trewidden gardens looking splendid. Thank you for the splendid hamper- very much enjoyed and as ever are reluctant to leave but we shall undoubtably be back.

  • "This is a superb place to spend a wild February week, the cottage with its little wood burner was warm, snug and the views out into the Cove, suffice to say, just stunning and spectacular."

    Yes there were Dolphins, Seals, and lots of different sea birds including the famous Cornish Chuf to discover and enjoy. Cove Cottage provided a great base to ensure a memorable holiday.

The property

Just a stone's throw from the shoreline at Porthgwarra, this inviting cottage is the perfect spot for seal watching and early-morning dips in the sea. Think weathered stonework and wood beams coupled with stunning views over the rocky cove and down to the beach.

Sleeping up to four guests, this cosy bolthole right on the rugged Cornish coastline offers an open-plan living space, a double ensuite bedroom and a twin room with a separate bathroom making it ideal for families and small groups.

St Aubyn Estates Cottages

This property is part of the St Aubyn Estates Cottages Collection. Each cottage is relaxed, comfortable, and has breathtaking views. Perched high above the sea or nestled in an untouched cove, you’ll find them dotted along the unspoilt and stunning coastline of far west Cornwall. We are based down in Porthgwarra Cove, running the picturesque little Café, and always on hand to offer activities, assistance, or just friendly local advice.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

Where you’ll be staying

PORTHGWARRA

Sennen 3 miles; Land's End 4.1 miles; Penzance 12 miles.

The parish of St Levan derives its name from the 4th Century saint who settled here. The ancient ruins of his Chapel can still be seen today above Church Cove, one of three beautiful and secluded beaches on this wild, unspoilt, and staggeringly beautiful peninsular, the most South Westerly point in the UK. Porthgwarra, the next beach along, sparkles at the end of a valley. You’ll find tunnels hewn into the cliffs, and the Porthgwarra Cove Café, along with the Guest Hub. It is the place to go for breakfast, lunch, ice cream, cakes, cream teas, pasties, helpful advice, and arranging holiday fun. Seals are endlessly dropping by. Continue over the clifftops and you arrive at Nanjizal, accessible only by foot and without a road in sight. At one end stands the stunning Zawn Pyg (‘Song of the Sea’) a natural rock arch that has captivated people for centuries. If the fancy took you to go on, then Sennen is around the corner. As well as being nestled in secluded coastal locations, our cottages are just a stone’s throw from some of Cornwall’s best-loved sights. Porthcurno and the Minack Theatre are within walking distance. St Michael’s Mount, St Ives, and many of the area’s best beaches are just a short drive away.
