Charming, detached cottage located in a pretty fishing village

Nestled within the picturesque fishing village of Porthallow, Rutherglen is a charming detached cottage boasting three bedrooms. Just a short stroll away lies the shimmering waters of Porthallow Beach, dotted with inviting eateries to enjoy.

Ascend a few steps to the welcoming entrance of the cottage, where the hallway leads you into the inviting sitting/dining room. Here, a warming wood-burning stove creates a cosy atmosphere, ideal for unwinding after a day by the sea. Furnished with two plush sofas and a Smart television, this space is perfect for relaxation. The dining area, with seating for six, beckons for memorable meals shared with loved ones. The well-appointed kitchen boasts all the essentials for a perfect self-catering escape, including an oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. Also located on the ground floor, a snug room awaits, offering additional seating, a television, and a selection of books and games, sure to entertain the young ones of the group. Along the corridor, you will discover the beautifully furnished master bedroom, featuring a comfortable king-size bed. Completing the ground floor is a spacious shower room, a separate cloakroom with a wash basin and WC, and a convenient utility room equipped with a washing machine, perfect for tidying up after a day at the beach.

Heading up the open tread stairs to the first floor, you'll discover two additional bedrooms, each with charming sloping ceilings. Bedroom two features a comfortable double bed, while bedroom three boasts twin single beds, ensuring a restful night's sleep for all guests.

At the rear of the property, steps lead up to a lawn and decked terrace area adorned with garden furniture and a barbecue. Indulge in some delightful al-fresco dining while relishing the picturesque views across the valley, with the added bonus of catching a beautiful Cornish sunset.
This charming cottage is conveniently situated within a leisurely stroll from the beach and a popular gastro pub, a mere 100 yards away. Take a seat at the beach cafe and bask in the breathtaking views spanning across the bay to Falmouth and beyond. For those eager to delve into coastal adventures, the area is an ideal hub for activities such as kayaking, hiking, or exploring rock pools. Rutherglen is the perfect base for your relaxing holiday, all year round, near the coast!

Slightly disappointed
The village and location is lovely. Unfortunately the well reviewed pub closed down earlier this year, and the bistro and cafe are both closed in October. Should a family have arrived unprepared they would have been unable to source any food or refreshments. A warning of this would have been appreciated. Despite being advertised as having two bathrooms, the house itself has one toilet and one shower room. The shower is powerful, but hot water does not seem to last very long, in particular with four adults in the house.

A beautiful cottage in quiet fishing village
Rutherglen is a pretty, well-appointed cottage, with a small steep garden at the back, and less than 5 minutes from the beach. The village has a great little pub - the 5 Pilchards, and a walk up the hill to the famous 5 Apples cafe - which does the most wonderful breakfasts - traditional, vegetarian or vegan! The cottage was great for 4 people, but the fact there is only 1 WC in the main bathroom - the other bathroom being a 'wet room' with just shower and sink - would have made it less than ideal for 6 people. Everything was very clean and comfortable, with plenty of space for us, and the location is perfect.

Rutherglen cottage needs work!
Rutherglen is situated in a very quiet fishing village with a local pub just a short walk away which served good food. However, the cottage itself is in dire need for some tlc. It is extremely damp in the downstairs shower room in particular and when we arrived the door to the shower room was covered in black mould as was the other door in the room which leads to the boiler. The tiles on the floor also are loose and grout is mouldy - all in all not very pleasant, it smelt bad and you could not shut the door when having a shower due to it being so warped. Unfortunately the cottage had not been cleaned properly before our arrival, despite us being told to arrive a little later than planned 4pm. We found debris including socks under the sofa and bin in toilet full up. Lots of rubbish bags outside which should have been taken away, under the cupboards lots of mice droppings and cobwebs. Broken glass and muck by side of fridge. Leftover food in cupboards, and what looked like remnants of dog food on a magazine left in the lounge. I would say, however, Joanne at Cornwall Hideaways was extremely helpful and arranged for further cleaning but this was still not the best job. Still items found under sofa etc!

Lovely property Great locals
Overall very happy with this property. Great location, spacious and clean. Loved the decking area for an afternoon recovery from walking and outdoor eating. Kitchen well equipped. Disappointed that the Master bedroom does not have a King sized bed as advertised. Would expect more washing up liquid to be supplied. Parking space very difficult to use. Locals very friendly. Five Pilchards pub very good for food and service. Some great walks from the property as well as across the rest of The Lizard. Planning on a return soon.
