Puffin Burrow is a historic one-bedroomed cottage sitting right on the sea edge at Portmellon Cove, part of a row of old fishermen's cottages, with sea views from the bed and two sun terraces to relax on. It's an adults-only retreat where a well-behaved dog can also stay. The cottage sits on the Southwest Coastal Path, with kayak and paddle board hire close by and a traditional waterside pub just along the path. Mevagissey, with its shops, cafes and historic harbour, is only a short walk away, while Portmellon beach is right outside and St Austell station is a short drive. Further afield, the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project make for easy days out.
