Please note that Porth Nanven House is located in a rural and relatively isolated location – that is the beauty of the house; however, the lanes leading to the property are narrow with Cornish hedges and shrubs on either side. The council are responsible for keeping the lanes cut back so we cannot take any responsibility for the lane during your stay.

Although wonderfully isolated, inside the house is presented to a high standard with state of the art technology and fast broadband, so working from home is no issue during your stay.

Porth Nanven Cottage, which sleeps 4 people is located next door, the two properties are separate and totally private but can be rented together for a larger party.

Porth Nanven House is primarily a family home which is only available to rent for a few weeks per year; the house has not been available for a couple of years so the reviews may look out of date, but read on, they say it all!

“The location of the house is sublime, I couldn’t stop staring out of the windows towards the sea! We loved the wild garden which must be beautiful in spring time. The valley and surrounding area is great for bird watching and we spotted dolphins and porpoises almost every day.”
