“The stairs are very steep and not much room around the bed to negotiate around them in the middle of the night.”

The cottage is a real home from home with everything you could need.
Mrs Dodson July 2018

“The photos and the house were exactly as described and shown.”

We were welcomed with a nice cream tea true Cornwall style and lively flowers. The location was perfect. The only thing I didn't like was the stairs, which were steep and narrow. Hard to carry things whilst going down. Overall, very comfortable and clean.

“We have been to Porthleven several times and have always found the village to be restful, friendly, interesting and the locals speak english !”

! No, seriously, the locals are very friendly and helpful with any of your queries.We are of quite a senior age but we love coming back to this village, but if you are younger and energetic, there are plenty of walking routes from this village, apart from the tourist sites such as St Michaels Mount, Seal Sanctuary, Minac Theatre, Lands End.....the list goes on. The cottage itself was absolutely wonderful, a cream tea awaited us in the kitchen, flowers in a vase, woodburner stove laid ready to light and every conceivable kitchen item that you might need. Plus, TV, CD/DVD player and selection of films, books for holiday reading if wet weather, a manual on the workings of each electrical/mechanical appliance provided. The cottage was spotless and the decoration looked as though it had been done last week. All in all, what else could you ask for.
Mrs Brooks July 2017

“Really good facilities at the cottage and in the surrounding area and everything was in easy walking distance.”

We can't wait to return as Porthleven felt quite unspoiled and not very touristy, which was great.

About the location

PORTHLEVEN

Helston 3 miles; Penzance 10 miles; Hayle 11 miles; St. Ives 17 miles; Falmouth 17.5 miles.

Porthleven is one of south west Cornwall’s hidden, coastal gems, located near Helston, famous for its annual Flora Dance Festival. Situated between Lizard Point and Land’s End, Porthleven retains the feel of a traditional Cornish fishing village, enjoying uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean and the beautiful Cornish coastline. The iconic clock tower sits on the harbour entrance and the pubs, shops, cafés and restaurants cluster around the historic picturesque inner harbour, where there is plenty of boating and marine activity. With a warren of streets lined with classic Cornish, granite cottages, an extensive beach manned with lifeguards, the chance for alfresco dining in one of a number of well reviewed restaurants, and crabbing off the harbour, there are plenty of activities for the whole family to enjoy, all year round. Porthleven is building a reputation for eating out with a popular food festival established in the spring. Out of season, Porthleven has one of the best surf breaks in the country where you can sit down and get lost for hours watching the energetic surfers riding the waves. There are some fabulous hidden coves along this stretch of coastline, including Praa Sands, Poldhu Cove, and Rinsey, a magical setting for the more energetic. You may have even seen pictures of Porthleven on television, being one of the best spots in the UK for storm watching, with the crashing winter waves often being used as the backdrop to weather forecasts. Walkers will enjoy the South West Coast Path, adventuring west past Rinsey Head with spectacular views, or south across Loe Bar to Penrose Estate with its National Trust cafe, and on to Gunwalloe Church Cove. Take a trip to the Isles of Scilly by boat or plane and marvel at the display of sub-tropical gardens at the stunning Tresco Abbey. The Eden Project near St. Austell offers an interesting day out. Porthleven is the ideal base for discovering the delights of west Cornwall and the Lizard Peninsula.
