Mott House, Porthleven, is an enchanting 18th-century seafront cottage that harmoniously blends traditional charm with contemporary comfort. The modern kitchen creates an impressive focal point, where a light-filled dining area showcases spectacular sea views through expansive windows. The flowing open-plan design leads to an inviting living and dining space, complete with comfortable sofas gathered around a warming wood burner, Smart TV, and DVD player – all perfectly positioned to take in the coastal panorama through stunning windows.

Step upstairs to discover three beautifully appointed bedrooms – two doubles and one twin – each offering direct access to a magnificent nine-metre glass-fronted balcony through elegant French doors. The sophisticated family bathroom features a rainfall shower over the bath and heated towel rail, while an additional shower room with WC ensures ample facilities for all guests. The ground floor also includes a convenient WC, and throughout the property, the décor embraces a cool palette of greys and blues, complemented by smooth wood-effect flooring and exposed stonework that pays homage to its historic roots.

Imagine starting your day with coffee on the expansive balcony, watching the sun sparkle on the waves as fishing boats head out to sea. As evening falls, gather with loved ones in the living room, where the wood burner creates a cosy atmosphere perfect for sharing stories of your coastal adventures while the sea breeze carries the sound of gentle waves.
