This property is directly on the midway point of the famous South West Coast Path. There is a large carved stone marker on Porthallow Beach. This is the perfect place to stay for celebrating reaching halfway along the path if you are one of the brave few that take on the 630 mile trek!
The open-plan kitchen/diner is sure to be a place where most of your time will be spent, as it enjoys spectacular views out to sea.
