"Fabulous, comfy cottage with everything we needed!"
Brilliant location. Just a small point - we would have loved a coffee machine, and maybe some coat hooks by the front door would be useful. Otherwise everything was just perfect, thank you.

"We were a group of 8 staying at Rock Lobster and we were really pleased with our choice."
The accommodation was lovely, parking easy and Porthleven a beautiful gem. Owners were really responsive to queries and we will be back. Thank you!

"We really enjoyed our stay at "Rock Lobster" the house has been finished to a high standard and accommodated our group of 7 adults 1 child comfortably."
The house I feel has everything you need for a more than pleasant stay. We loved the fact it has 3 bathrooms so there was no queuing when we where getting ready. We had a small issue with the hot water which I spoke with the owner and we tried to troubleshoot unfortunately we where unable to solve the issue so the owner sent out a plumber who attended within the hour and all was sorted. The house it self was lovely and warm throughout our stay even though outside was absolutely freezing. "Rock Lobster" is easy walking distance to the village/harbour where you will find a small supermarket, pubs and a few eateries. My only personal input would be, it would be nice to have had a small tv in the 2 double rooms so you could chill and watch a film when you need a little me time and maybe a Nespresso machine. That is purely personal to me as I don't drink instant coffee however it was NOT the end of the world as I just nipped down to the village for my morning latte and to be fair its a beautiful walk and I could enjoy the lovely scenery while having my coffee. I without a doubt would rent "Rock Lobster" again the rest of the family & also friends/family in Cornwall have said they will be recommending "Rock Lobster" to others. Thank you so much Joe for letting us stay in your little bit of Cornwall it was AMAZING!!!!!

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 it's 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 it's 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.
