A traditional Cornish cottage from which we offer self catering accommodation throughout the year. It is superbly located being adjacent to the coastal path as it exits Porthleven with magnificent views over the outer harbour, along Porthleven beach and out to sea.

England > Cornwall > Porthleven
Porthleven is an unspoilt and perfectly situated village lying between Lands End and The Lizard on the south Cornish coast and is ideally placed to explore southern Cornwall. It is centred around a picturesque harbour full of yachts and fishing boats with its narrow streets climbing the hillsides and offering spectacular views. It has been a fishing village for centuries and once was a centre for boat building. Its long harbour wall protects the port from the south westerlies which occasionally rage across Mounts Bay in the winter.
The village has much to offer the holiday maker with its three inns, a number of eating houses, with many specialising in local sea food, a variety of interesting shops which cater for most of your needs and a beach approximately one mile long. Along the coast to the east lies the romantic Loe Bar and Pool from which beautiful walks can be enjoyed. In the westerly direction, just a stone’s throw from The Lookout, a cliff top walk towards Rinsey and Praa Sands provides spectacular views over Mounts Bay.
Cornwall The surrounding area is well known for its fine beaches, secluded coves, wooded estuaries and rugged cliffs. The market town of Helston, famous for its Flora Day festival, is just two miles away and is often referred to as The Gateway to the Lizard. With sea on three sides and the Helford River to the north The Lizard is almost an island – a high plateau surrounded by sea and studded by beautiful coves and beaches. It is a naturalist’s delight.
To the west Lands End beckons but there is much to see before you reach this famous landmark. St Michael’s Mount, Mousehole, Lamorna Cove, Porthcurno (well known for the open air Minack Theatre), Sennen Cove, Zennor, St Ives to mention just a few.
Truro, Penzance and Falmouth are in easy reach.

| Over the years the cottage has been extended and refurbished but it still retains many of its original features. It now offers very comfortable accommodation to the modern holiday-maker. The ground floor accommodation consists of two double bedrooms, one with a king size bed and twin beds in the other, a bathroom with a power shower over the bath and a fully equipped kitchen to help you make the best of the self catering aspects of your holiday. Although there are excellent sea views from all of the front windows the sitting/dining room is placed on the first floor to give it commanding views out to sea and along the coast. It has an open fire which will take coal or logs. It is an easy walk past The Ship, a 17th century inn alongside the harbour, to the centre of the village. Porthleven has a working harbour, a beautiful beach and a variety of shops which will cater for most of your needs. Should you like a change from self catering there are a number of excellent restaurants and you will receive a friendly welcome from its three pubs. There is easy access to cliff walks in both directions and it is well situated if you wish to venture further afield to explore Cornwall’s renowned coastline and scenery. |
