Nestled in the pretty fishing village of Portloe on the South Cornish coast, this darling escape for six is a wonderful seaside getaway overlooking the delightful harbour. Light, bright interiors offer stylish, laid-back charm, whilst you're also just a 100-yard walk to the harbour and great places to eat. Set in the heart of the Roseland peninsula, you're surrounded by some of the most beautiful coastline Cornwall has to offer with plenty of things to see and do, whether it's coastal walks, subtropical gardens, excellent eateries or swimming in crystal clear waters.

Living

The open plan living space can be found on the top floor, where vaulted ceilings, masses of windows and gorgeous décor has created a peaceful, serene escape boasting wonderful sea views. Bi-fold windows at the far end of the room can be pulled back on warmer days to let the blissful sea breezes in, whilst the Cocoon bio-fuel burner adds a cosy ambience. We just love the opulent teal velvet sofas, whilst the smooth wooden floor is just a dream to walk on.


Eating

Towards the back of the house on the top floor you'll find the kitchen, a sleek, contemporary space in which to prepare epic feasts and on-the-hoof snacks. With quartz worktops, grey cabinets and Smeg appliances, this is just a dream to cook in. With underfloor heating too, things will be fabulously snug and cosy around the large oak dining table for six - the perfect setting for decadent dinner parties.


Sleeping

There are three stunning bedrooms to choose from, two of which can be found on the middle level. The master bedroom is a beautifully bright, light and tranquil room boasting three windows, all with sea views. The king size bed is super-comfy, just made for long lie-ins and breakfast in bed. The second bedroom with double bed is super romantic and has an en suite. The third bedroom can be found on the ground floor and is a delightfully cosy double with gorgeous mustard-colour headboard.


Bathing

There's a fabulous bathroom with a walk-in rainfall shower. The en suite has a gorgeously deep free-standing tub for two. Both have heated rails to keep towels warm and fluffy and underfloor heating for extra cosiness.

In the Area

Portloe is a gorgeous little village and is one of the prettiest spots on the Roseland Peninsula. The Ship Inn, a 17th century pub, is just a short walk from Fable and ideal for drinks and a spot to eat. The Lugger Hotel is another 17th century inn, also within a short walk, offering excellent local produce and the freshest of fish. With the Roseland on your doorstep there's plenty to see and do - make sure to try the culinary delights of The Hidden Hut at Portcurnick beach, whist if you carry on, you'll find Portscatho, a lovely seaside village, and St Mawes - a great spot for some lunch at either The Idle Rocks or the Tresanton, both of which are excellent with views over the harbour. From here you can catch the ferry across to the bustling seaside town of Falmouth for great shops and the must-visit Maritime Museum. Garden-lovers will enjoy Trelissick Gardens near the King Harry Ferry or The Lost Gardens of Heligan, whilst if you need a spot of city life, head to Truro with its wide selection of independent shops, impressive cathedral and great restaurants.


Contemporary chic, this seaside sojourn with jaw-dropping sea views and a modern wood burner is a must for those wanting a peaceful, idyllic getaway.

We know how gorgeous our retreats are, but don’t just take our word for it – here’s what previous guests say about Fable:

We had a wonderful holiday at Fable, our second stay and just as amazing. Fabulous views and beautifully designed. Comfortable beds. Friendly community.

A wonderful retreat, fabulous location. Clean, light and well equipped.

Fantastic situation overlooking the little harbour. Everything in the cottage is of a high quality and very comfortable. A perfect quintessential Cornish village, relatively unspoilt, quiet and friendly.

Fable is perfect. The owners have gone to such lengths to make a home (and that’s what it feels like) that is beautiful, comfortable and anticipates every need. Relaxation guaranteed!

Beautiful property with incredible views.

Great location. Really well equipped. Great views. Had a wonderful stay and all very easy.

So happy. The sound of the waves and view of the sea was everything I needed. Thank you.xx

Perfect getaway location and within 20 minutes of numerous beaches and towns

An amazing location in a beautiful village.

Five star accommodation

House was comfortable and homely and decorated to a high spec. Loved the bi folding windows with sea views

Beautiful house and lovely setting. Looking out at the sea from the sofa was so relaxing.

Beautiful views. Well kitted out. Fantastic base to explore surrounding area

Outstanding base to explore a really beautiful part of Cornwall. Peaceful, comfortable with picture book views- what more could we ask?

Fabulous location in an unspoilt (little known) Cornish fishing village. A truly all year round property with that ever changing view from the top floor lounge.

Superbly kept and friendly owners

Exceptionally high end, definitely a boutique retreat.

If you’re looking for amazing accommodation in a beautiful (and quiet) location, then look no further. Fable is wonderfully located - you can explore the Roseland Coast, go North to Padstow or South to St. Ives from here.....we managed to keep two teenagers happy for a week (and the internet is good too - which was an unexpected bonus). It’s just a fabulous cottage......
