“An absolutely beautiful cottage and lovely location.”

Easy access for everything in the town, and to go off for the day. The cottage itself we couldn’t fault. It was everything it looked to be and more. A great getaway for a couple. Beautifully presented, tidy, clean and safe. Kitchen facilities perfect. And the welcome of cream, jam and scones on arrival made it extra special! Thank you!!

“Lovely cottage, cosy and warm.”

Perfect for 2. Stairs are steep. Great location for Porthleven and coastal path.

“My husband, our cavalier Stan Lee and I had a lovely holiday in Porthleven, Cornwall- the cottage was in a great location, very close to the harbour.”

We went on a couple of beautiful coastal walks and visit to Penrose Estate when the weather was fair. We also had rain but that didn't matter, we had a walk around the harbour and visited the charming shops and cafes and returned back to cottage to warm up by the cosy wood stove. Most of the shops, restaurants and cafes are dog friendly in Porthleven, so no one got left behind! The cottage was beautiful and had very amenity that we needed. The only issue we had (and this is a personal issue!) is the stairs in the cottage were a bit steep for Stan Lee's wee legs, so we had to carry him up and down the stairs to the kitchen. Overall we had great time and love to come back again.

“We really enjoyed our stay at Fisherman's Cottage.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival and we found it well equipped and very comfortable. The cream tea and roses in the kitchen were a very nice welcome as were the milk in the fridge and the tea/coffee - we didn't need to bring our own! It was well situated for a nice stroll down to the harbour. We would definitely look at staying here again if it is available when we are next in the area and would highly recommend it - although the stairs are a bit steep if anyone has issues with stairs, but the grab rails were well placed and very helpful - even for us with no problems :) Very enjoyable stay.

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.
