About this property
Large Traditional Cornish Stone Cottage In Portloe Village - The Roseland AONB
Farm Cottage nestles into the valley beside the stream leading to the attractive harbour about 100 metres away. The Ship Inn is just up the road less than two minutes walk.
The Lugger Hotel offering outstanding local produce and service is situated 200m away down in the harbour. Portloe is situated in the Roseland section of the South Coast Central Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is perfectly located for walks on the South Cornish Coastal path. Portloe is the quintessential sleepy fishing village that has been featured in many a television series including the series by Rosamunde Pilcher and The Camomile Lawn. Farm Cottage was originally the village Farm House and having been subjected to major renovation is warm and comfortable yet stylish and light filled with many paintings and works by local artists.
Modern communications have reached Portloe with a good 4G mobile signal. High speed fibre broadband is provided within Farm Cottage with a recent upgrade to ensure better coverage throughout. The TV box talks to the WiFi so catch up and streaming services can be accessed. A Sonos sound system has been installed in the sitting room, providing great sounds from Amazon music and all BBC Sounds.
There is always wine & usually beers in the outside fridge for when you arrive so make yourself at home. Ideally please replace like with like, but don't feel too bad about a bottle or two - as long as you enjoy your stay in Farm Cottage and come back next year!

About the host
Hosted by Mrs. Caroline Bowden
We live in London and have grown up children. My husband and I both work, but spend most of our holidays at our cottage in Portloe and feel very much a part of the community. Farm Cottage is our second home and as such we have tried to make it as comfortable as possible. Our objective is to keep it that way and so we make the cottage available for rent to help cover costs.
Why they chose this property
We love Farm Cottage and Portloe because of its location and the beauty of The Roseland. My husband has deep family ties to this part of Cornwall so for him being here is like coming home. We love the boating the fishing the tennis and the cliff and beach walks. Farm Cottage is very well situated if you want to dine out or simply have a drink in a sunny garden or terrace. The Ship Inn and The Lugger Hotel are both within 200m up and down the hill. We enjoy regular visits to The Hidden Hut. The famous attractions of The Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan not far away. For those whose idea of paradise is a beautiful beach with hardly anyone on it - you have come to the right place.
What makes this property unique
Farm Cottage is an old stone cottage that we have largely rebuilt and modernised as our second home. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we enjoy being here. If you happen to play tennis we are very fortunate to have a great tennis club just up the road in Veryan. Court booking can be accessed online on the Veryan & Roseland Tennis Club
