Rock Cottage is a 17th Century, traditional, detached cottage that is perched on the rocks above Portmellon beach with stunning sea views from every room, exposed beams, an open plan living area with a cosy fire, and two spacious bedrooms. At high tide, the water laps around the property but recedes to expose a lovely expanse of sand and a plethora of rock pools. The owners take great pride in supplying their guests with a perfect, convivial environment, from arrival treats for any guest dogs, home baked welcome cakes and even packing a beach bag just in case you have left something behind! One thing is certain, this will be a memorable holiday destination for all the right reasons!
Portmellon is a quiet unspoilt cove with a sandy beach and slipway. Portmellon is ideally suited to visit the world-famous Eden Project, The Lost Gardens Of Heligan and the famous port of Charlestown. It is placed on the Coastal Footpath which runs past the cottage and offers a wealth of destinations both along the coast and inland. Portmellon has a variety of beaches nearby, from the family friendly Gorran Haven to the isolated Vault Beach near Dodman Point. Water sports and cycle hire are on offer at Pentewan.
It is only a 10 minute walk to the historic fishing port of Mevagissey, a tiny seaside village of small alleyways and traditional buildings, with a selection of restaurants and pubs and shops. Once a busy pilchard port, Mevagissey still has a small fishing fleet but also offers scenic and fishing trips, boat hire and the ferry to Fowey.
