“Not sure that this property has passed plannng permission requirements.”

Reviewed 9 November 2016 for a stay in August 2016

Not sure that this property has passed plannng permission requirements. There were some health and safety issues. Owner / manager is clearly not from Cornwall and does not know area. Thought Porthallow was near Looe which is some 50 miles away!

Yes I am from Cornwall and have lived here all my life. The property is located in Porthallow on the Lizard Peninsula as per the location and address. As far as planning permission is concerned and Building Regulations it is fully compliant and we have certification. We are unsure on the health and safety issues that you raise. If there...

About the neighbourhood

This is a very much loved and very unspoiled part of south Cornwall, south of the exquisite and famous village of Helford and the renowned Helford River and Gillan harbour. Helford River and its creeks are of enormous interest to sailing enthusiasts with their world renowned sailing waters, ideal for both yachting, powerboats and dinghy sailing. Falmouth bay and the River Fal provide some of the finest day sailing waters anywhere in the United Kingdom and the property has an outlook over these.

The nearby villages of St Keverne and Manaccan offer a range of local amenities catering for most day-to-day needs including general stores, sub-post offices, churches, restaurants and other facilities.

From the Cornish meaning 'port at the end of the moor', Porthallow's history has always been inextricably linked with the sea. A former thriving Pilchard port, small fishing boats are still hauled onto the beach to this day. A number of buildings in the village also exhibit tell tale signs of the industry, if a little less obvious to the casual observer - The Association's Institute building is sighted over a former pilchard cellar!

Set in the heart of the small fishing village of Porthallow with the beach is just a few minutes' walk away. The South West Coast Path is just 50 metres from the studio, offering excellent coastal views across Falmouth Bay to St. Anthony's Head, and a beautiful walk to Gillan Creek and the Helford River. Porthallow beach is used by local fishermen, and it is possible to drive onto the beach to launch canoes and dinghies. The local pub, The Five Pilchards, offers a warm welcome to visitors and there is a craft shop with locally made pottery. The village shops in St Keverne, just a couple of miles away, offer comprehensive supplies. The local wildlife is abundant, with buzzards circling over the valley and seals occasionally visiting the bay. The Old Stable is in probably one of the most peaceful spots in Cornwall, and offers the opportunity for a truly relaxing holiday by the sea.
