Pentre Cottage is quietly located within the grounds of Pentre House commanding an elevated position that enjoys views over Mounts Bay. Being just a few minutes walk from Porthleven beach and the village & harbour, it is ideally situated to enjoy the peacefulness of this quiet and secluded ancient port that retains much charm, character and a wealth of history. Porthleven is the most southerly port on the UK mainland, and the only west facing port in Cornwall. It is situated on the Atlantic Coastline just south of Helston (the most southerly town in England). Porthleven is a popular vacation destination all year round and is an ideal location from which to explore the southwestern-most part of England; being close to The Lizard, Penzance, Newlyn, Marazion (& St Michael's Mount), Mousehole, Lands End, St Ives, the Port of Falmouth (& the new Maritime Museum), the ancient town of Helston and Truro, the Cathedral City. And not to forget the Eden Project that is not too far away. During the day there's plenty to do locally. There are some three miles of golden beach to relax upon. Alternatively, taking a stroll along the coastal walks will reveal spectacular views over Mounts Bay to the west or, to the east, Loe Bar; a silted area that separates the sea from Loe Pool, Cornwall's largest inland freshwater lake (owned by The National Trust and open to the public). For the less sedentary occupations there are many water borne activities to enjoy; for example boat and fishing trips. And whilst the sea can be very dangerous along this coastline, Porthleven is a popular destination for those seeking the surf. And if you time your visit well you may witness various spectacular events that take place around the Harbour, the most important being the Lifeboat and Gig days (when traditional working boats are raced). The Harbour is the focal point of the village and there are many craft shops, a pottery, an art gallery and a stained glass studio. For the needs of the self caterers there is a butcher, baker, a fishmonger of course and a good supermarket that has a small but fine delicatessen. There are also two traditional fish & chip take-away restaurants, a pasty shop (the 'pasty' is traditional Cornish fare) and various other local shops including a Post Office. And just in case of mishaps, there is a chemist and a doctor's surgery. In the evenings visitors taking a stroll around the old harbour will discover the hospitality of several fine restaurants, some specialising (unsurprisingly) in fish; and three very friendly inns that also serve excellent meals. We hope that you visit Porthleven and enjoy its peacefulness and its hospitality. We are confident that once you have discovered Porthleven you will want to return.
