Family Holiday Cottages in Portloe

Portloe is a tiny, tucked-away fishing village on the Roseland Peninsula, set around a narrow, steep-sided cove with a handful of cottages and a small working harbour. Staying in a family holiday cottage in Portloe means you are never far from the water, with the South West Coast Path climbing out of the village in both directions to give big views over the cliffs and sea. It is a quiet place where the main entertainments are the changing tide, the boats and the coastal walks.

For families who like a slower pace, days might mean exploring the rocks and pools around the little harbour at low tide, then taking a short section of the coast path before heading back for a board game or book. When you want more going on, nearby villages like Portscatho, Veryan or St Mawes offer larger beaches and more cafés, all within an easy drive. A holiday home in Portloe gives you a peaceful base to come back to after those outings, with space to hang salty clothes and enjoy evenings listening to the sea in the background.
