Porthleven is another fishing village, larger than Cadgwith, on the western side of the Lizard peninsula facing across Mount’s Bay. Its harbour is a deep inlet from the sea, protected by three sets of granite walls. The area around the harbour is very picturesque with three pubs and several excellent restaurants, including Kota – famous for its seafood. The village is well situated for touring the whole of west Cornwall and is an ideal base for exploring the coast path and magnificent cliff scenery. There are lots of sandy beaches and family attractions nearby. The adjacent Loe Pool is the largest freshwater lake in Cornwall and offers secluded woodland walks and plenty of wildlife. Only three miles away is the quaint old Cornish town of Helston, notable for the Flora Dance. Restormel provides one whole floor of a modern house on the side of the valley. The garden and decking area have panoramic views out to sea and across the village. It has its own access and parking. The nearest beach and the village centre are both within five minutes walk.

We have had a wonderfully relaxing time over the last fortnight staying in Restormel which is kitted out beautifully - everything you could possibly need to feel at home. Mary and Mike upstairs are a lovely couple who have made sure our stay here has been comfortable and very pleasurable and we thank them for their kindness during our two week stay. Porthleven is a quaint and fascinating harbour village with warm and welcoming people and we had much fun joining in with their bi-centenial celebrations of the Harbour's inception.

August 2011- We have spent a very relaxing and comfortable week at Restormel.Mary and Mike made us extremely welcome. They were on hand if we needed anything and gave us lots of suggestions for places to eat and visit.

Porthleven is a lovely place, enough going on to be interesting but not too busy.

Thank you!
