Holiday Rental Description

Located in the small town of St Levan, this home is perfectly placed for family beach holidays and getaways with your friends. Start your mornings here with a cup of tea and breakfast at the kitchen island before exploring everything the Cornish coast has to offer.

Renowned for its snow-white sands and turquoise-blue waters, Porthcurno Beach is situated in a small cove between grassy headlands and is reachable in just four minutes by car or if you fancy a long walk, you can reach it on foot in thirty-three minutes. The large boulder formations here add to the beaches striking appearance and also provide great conditions for both bodyboarding and swimming. What’s more, backing the beach is the iconic open-air Minack theatre with its Grecian architecture and panoramic views over the bay. From May until September, you will be able to experience a variety of plays and concerts with an incredible ocean backdrop stretching to Logan Rock headland in the distance.

For Cornwall’s famous surfing waves, Porthchapel Beach is a short five-minute drive away. Plus, there is plenty of beautiful scenery and attractions on offer with easy reach from this home including, Penzance – a nineteen-minute drive away, and Land’s End – reachable in eight minutes by car.

In the late afternoon, we would love nothing more than to spend some time in the home’s wrap-around garden, sunbathing on the loungers and enjoying a Cornwall cream tea at the picnic table. Just remember that in Cornwall it's jam then cream. The landscaped garden is also great for family garden games. Plus, there is also offers a barbecue and firepit, making it the ideal spot for cooking and dining alfresco with pastel views.
