Portmellon is ideally suited to visit the world famous Eden Project, The Lost Gardens Of Heligan and the famous port of Charlestown. It is placed on the Coastal Footpath which runs past the cottage and offers a wealth of destinations both along the coast and inland. Portmellon has a variety of beaches nearby, from the family friendly Gorran Haven to the isolated Vault Beach near Dodman Point. Water sports and cycle hire are on offer at Pentewan.
Meander along narrow lanes past tiny beaches through the beautiful Roseland to St. Mawes. From here take the passenger ferry to Falmouth sailing through the third deepest harbour in the world to visit quayside pubs and restaurants and see The Maritime Museum.
From Rock Cottage you are only a drive away from King Arthur's seat at Tintagel, or Doc Martin's seat at Port Isaac, or an artist's seat at The Tate in St Ives. But, perhaps the nicest part of our location is that without moving you can just sit within touching distance of the sea, and enjoy the view!
