Seadog

Seadog is a smart contemporary house in the picturesque fishing port of Porthleven, a town which is fast becoming one of Cornwall's top foodie destinations. With a lawned garden, decking area, and separate patio area so you never miss the sun, this private setting is perfect for family breaks away by the seaside.

With generously sized rooms and lots of light, there is a bright airy feel inside, and double patio doors from the living room out to a decked sitting area provides the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee whilst listening to the seagulls!

The living room has a huge leather corner sofa to sink into, large TV, and beautiful wooden flooring in-keeping with the coastal feel. The kitchen is excellently appointed, with large fridge freezer, full size oven, dishwasher, washer dryer and plenty of storage space.

The bedrooms are conveniently arranged for flexible accommodation; with one twin room situated on the ground floor along with the main bathroom, and the other kingsize bedroom upstairs with its own ensuite shower room.

There is driveway parking for one car, and plenty more on-street parking along the road.

It is just a short walk to the harbour-front, boasting an array of independent shops and cafes, and Porthleven beach is also close at hand.

Locally, you are spoilt for choice in this excellent location; there is the National Trust estate of Penrose to visit, Praa Sands, Marazion and St Michaels Mount to the west, and Helford Passage to the East. The north coast is also within easy reach by car, offering more stunning beaches and coastline such as St Ives, Zennor, and Carbis Bay. The Lizard and Kynance Cove are also well worth a visit meaning you'll be spoilt for choice with your days out! Flambards theme park - an ideal kids day out - is also only a few minutes drive away.

Book easily online through the Finest Retreats website, and start looking forward to your next Cornish adventure.

A homely place to stay which is clean and comfortable.

We took a short walk into town and ate at Square which was a very tasty meal. We weren't in the area much and used Sea Dog as a base for 3 nights and it worked really well for us. Highly recommend.

Seadog is a fantastic property in the perfect location.

Porthleven harbour is a 2 minute walk from the property which has some fantastic restaurants and pubs/bars. Lot's to do in Porthleven as well as surrounding areas. I would highly recommend this property.

This was a nice property and had all the things we needed as a family of three.

We felt it was well suited for small families. The house was comfortable, particularly the master bed which was very comfy. Thank you for having us 😊

Amazing place

We loved the seadog it was so lovely to be on the next street to my father in law such a lovely homely house Improvements I would say would be to fix the chairs in the kitchen as they are falling apart, the floor has a bit in living room that has a scuff that is sticking up and then just general fresh bit of paint on white walls as there is quite a few marks on the walls

Wonderful Stay

We loved staying at the Seadog. The location is fantastic with only a few minutes walk to the harbour. We didn’t use any of the kitchen facilities because we were too busy dining down at the harbour. We noticed a third bedroom was locked which would be great to use next time as we are usually a party of 6 (only 4 this holiday). Loved our stay and we will be back! Some things could have been a bit cleaner but overall nothing to improve.

Seadog review sept 24

Great location just a short walk into town. Description of the property is accurate and has a well equipped kitchen and under stair storage with travel cot, iron and high chair Would have been nice to know there wasn’t a door on the upstairs bedroom. The bathrooms were not provided with soap and the upstairs shower is very difficult to get into, you have to be very slim.

Lots of things I liked about sea dog, but a few I didn’t, it was spacious, comfortable, and modern, outdoor space and parking a bonus, had everything we needed for our stay. Didn’t like that the bedroom in eves, didn’t have a door, it was straight at top of steps, it didn’t feel right, but maybe that’s just my preference, wasn’t mentioned in descriptions, also to get in the shower in en suite, is quite a tight space, u have to shimmy down side of sink, then pull door behind you. Had problem with no hot water, owners responded quickly, plumber came out, but we then had no heating, so a portable heater was brought,

We had a lovely week at Sea Dog, which had plenty of positives and a few small areas that could be i

The location was fantastic - just a short walk to the town centre, which we enjoyed exploring. The house had a great dining table where we could enjoy meals together as a family. The Dyson vacuum and good water pressure were appreciated, though hot water sometimes ran out faster than expected. On the plus side, having driveway parking and a washing machine were big conveniences. The beds were comfortable and the children enjoyed watching the big TV when they were chilling out. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would consider coming back to this property again! Thanks There were a few minor maintenance issues, like the shower screen seal and loose baseboards in the kitchen. Also, it would've been helpful to have a broom, cleaning cloths, and hand soap. We had to buy our own which is unusual. We only had one tea towel for the week which meant we had to keep washing it.

Sehr geräumiges Haus mit allem ausgestattet

Sehr geräumiges Haus mit allem ausgestattet. Relativ ruhige Lage, alles fußläufig erreichbar. Für die Hunde ideal, da komplett eingezäunt. Ein Sonnenschirm wäre toll.
