| Accommodation |
| Barn Croft
is a semi-detached holiday cottage of traditional Cornish construction.
Thick stone walls (some over a foot thick) are interspersed with brick
and wood, exposed wooden beams and wooden floors. We believe it was
previously used in the late 19th century as a barn, just as the name
might suggest, and converted into living accommodation in the 90 s. |
| On the
ground floor are the living/dining room, kitchen, hall and bathroom.
The kitchen has modern Hygena units, work surfaces and sink. It is well
equipped with an electric cooker, hob and extractor fan together with a
fridge, microwave cooker, electric kettle and toaster. There is a full
range of cutlery, cups, saucers, plates, dishes and cooking utensils. A
washer/dryer is located in the utility cupboard under the stairs. |

| Porthleven
is very picturesque and has several excellent restaurants, cafes and
pubs. It has a small harbour with a deep sea inlet that is protected by
three sets of granite walls. The sight and sound of the sea gently
lapping on the shore is idyllic. Porthleven is quite popular with
artists, painters and photographers, TV crews and news reporters.
Porthleven harbour is about a 5 minute walk from Barn Croft. Impressive
views of sea waves crashing over the harbour walls in rough weather can
be had from the The Ship Inn. Porthleven beach is just around the
corner from the harbour. It is beautifully sandy and stretches out
towards Looe Bar and the Lizard. It is superb for swimming, paddling or
just lazing in the sun. |

tremendous variety and number of attractions and activities all year
around in Cornwall. If you are looking for ideas or something different
we suggest that you browse the leaflets, magazines and books under the

Natural Beauty and Heritage Coast. Furthermore, five local sites have
