Occupying an exclusive position above Mousehole Harbour, the spectacular Porth Enys House is immediately captivating. Set within 20 acres of secluded gardens and with its own shoreline, this striking property features one of the finest views in the country. The breath-taking panorama wraps around Mount’s Bay, across the iconic St Michael’s Mount and all the way out to The Lizard.
Spread over three levels, Porth Enys House combines traditional interiors with quirky finishing touches. Completely unique, you’ll fall in love with the unconventional charm of this grand house the moment you step through the front door. With incredible coastal views from virtually every room in the property, there’s a myriad of spaces to while away tranquil hours watching the world sail by.
Surrounded by flower-filled gardens, the large conservatory is a beautiful spot for dining with family and friends. The comfortable lounge features a wood burner and more stunning views, and the high tech cinema room is perfect for spending cosy evenings together.
Each of the four bedrooms in the main house look out across the ocean, and the fifth separate bedroom in The Lookout has its own private decking overlooking the water.
Blissfully private, Porth Enys House is perfect for dog owners and multi-generational family groups. The picturesque Mousehole harbour and its range of restaurants, pubs and boutique shops are just a short walk away. Renowned for the sensational Mousehole Harbour Lights at Christmas, this quaint Cornish village is idyllic in winter as well as summer.
If you’d like to explore further afield, St Michael’s Mount is just around the bay and the stunning Porthcurno Beach, Sennen Cove and Porthchapel Beach are all within a short drive.

More about theExterior
Greenhouse
In full bloom during the summer months, the greenhouse is awash with blossom, filling the garden with colour and catching heavenly floral scents on the breeze. With fresh fruit and vegetables growing inside, guests are welcome to help themselves to the season’s offerings, from zesty oranges to summertime courgettes.
Garden
From the neat lawned garden at the rear of the property, to the statement ornaments dotted throughout, there’s plenty to be explored by seasoned gardeners and curious younger adventurers alike. There's also a barbeque, dining table with 10 chairs and several sun loungers, perfect for relaxing in the sunshine.
Large Pond
To the right of the garden there's a large ornamental pond. There's no screening or fencing around this pond, so young children will need to be supervised at all times.
Laundry Building
Located next to the greenhouse, the detached laundry building houses a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as a pool table for an extra spot of garden entertainment.
Parking
The large gravel drive at the front of the property provides plenty of parking for up to six cars.
Please note: to ensure the gardens at Porth Enys House are kept looking beautiful for all of our guests, a gardener tends to the grounds every Wednesday and Friday.
More about theEstate
Estate
Enjoy a relaxed stroll through the pretty woodland surrounding the property, and venture down to watch the sea crash against the rocks at the bottom of the estate. Lined with wild flora and fauna, the circular walk loops back towards the entrance of the house and provides plenty of coastal lookout spots along the way.
The owners allow just a few local people to use the small parts of the land for various projects, including a small vineyard and vegetable garden, but you're unlikely to see them.
Please be aware that the tidal currents around the shoreline can become quite strong, and this area should only be explored by those with full mobility, and not by young children. The area is to be avoided unless the sea is flat, and the rocks are dry.
