The Neighborhood:

Porthleven is one of Cornwall's prettiest fishing villages and the most southerly working port in the UK. Come for some of the best food in all of Cornwall - Michael Caines has a restaurant here. Seafood lovers will be in total heaven at The Mussel Shoal, a kiosk on the quay. The real fun part is that diners can book to be taken out to eat on their very own pontoon! In summer, the whole town is taken over by a free three-day food festival where the streets are lined with fragrant stalls and the pubs sprawling with happy punters. In under a 20-minute drive, you will find the wonderful Flora at New Yard restaurant, this is the crème de la crème of Cornish cuisine. Aside from its culinary offering, this picturesque boat-filled harbour is brilliant for nature lovers too. It’s possible to surf at the town’s beaches, but with some of the most testing waves in Cornwall, beginners may like to try the nearby Praa Sands instead. Walkers can enjoy hikes straight from the front door, taking off in either direction along the renowned South West Coast Path. Head one way and you’ll enter the magnificent Lizard Peninsula (which boasts some of the region’s best and quietest beaches). Meanwhile, the other way takes you to Rinsey and onto Praa Sands - which is fabulous all year round. There’s so much to do and see in this corner of Cornwall and we’ve shared more of our local tips and tricks in our Guest Guide - available upon booking.



It's not just restaurants that are in plenty here, you'll find a handful of welcoming pubs within walking distance of the cottage. Head to The Ship for beautiful views and live music or The Harbour Inn for a pint or two on a sunny day. As if that wasn't enough, you can enjoy long rambles along the coastal path from Looe Bar for stunning views of the gnarly Cornish cliffs and stop at Origin Coffee to refuel before browsing the independent galleries, jewellers and art shops that line the harbour. We highly recommend making bookings in advance to avoid disappointment!



From Porthleven you can take the A394 towards Penzance, stopping off at the beaches along the way. Praa Sands is a wide sandy beach perfect for families, but try the more secluded bay of Prussia Cove a little further along down a single track road if you want something quieter. There are also lovely walks along this part of the coast if you have time, such as the route from Perranuthnoe to Cudden Point; around two miles of scenic trail along the clifftops. A busy day is always best finished with food, and locals love heading to New Yard Restaurant for innovative dining in a rustic alfresco setting. Only a 25 minute drive and you are in the popular towns of Carbis Bay and St Ives.



Getting Around:

Due to the remote nature of Cornwall we would highly recommend bringing a car to make the most of your time here. That said, the cottage is ideally located within a short walk of Porthleven's harbour, shops and restaurants. There is a private parking behind the cottage with space for one vehicle.
