Our ideally located holiday cottage enables you to explore the many sights that Porthleven has to offer. Plus, a wide range of activities are just a short distance away from 6 Bay View Terrace, no matter whether it is raining or sunny. Porthleven has a wealth of coastal paths and country lanes. One mile to the east of the village is the famous Loe Pool, Loe Bar and the beautiful Penrose Woods, all under the auspices of The National Trust. To the west are coastal paths to Bishop’s Rock, Rinsey and Praa Sands. There are two miles of sandy beach and several nearby golf courses, parks and sports centres. There are regular bus services to Penzance, Falmouth and Truro. Although Porthleven has, within easy reach, all the charms and amenities to entertain those who want a relaxing holiday, it is also very central to a whole host of attractions.
