Porthleven B & B is a cheerful, well laid out room near the center of Porthleven. The hosts were good communicators and the breakfast food provided was great.

An ideal lodging and location - everything we needed! And the host notified us ahead of time about a spring celebration in the neighboring town to catch. We highly recommend!

Located at the top of Fore Street in Porthleven your accommodation is just a short walk away from the bustling harbourside with its classic pubs and excellent restaurants, even a brewery. Porthleven B and B is in Belmont built around 1874 with sections of the building looking to predate that. However, the suite totally separate using your own private entrance you’ll enter galley area with sink, kettle, pod coffee machine and fridge. We will provide complimentary breakfast snack items along with tea, coffee including pods (if you have a favourite bring it with you) milk and cereal. Continue into the ensuite bedroom the bed itself is a king size with Hypnos mattress so you can be assured a restful night’s sleep. There is a small desk and chair along with a separate table and 2 chairs to enjoy your breakfast snack. Along with plenty of hanging space drawers and space to put away your suitcase you’ll still have plenty of room to relax without tripping over your belongings. For those that want to just lay back and relax there is also a wall mounted smart TV. The ensuite in Porthleven B and B has a large walk-in digital shower with two shower heads and a sink unit with plenty of space for all your bathroom essentials. Comfort, space and convenience are the key features of this quality accommodation and having undergone total refurbishment in 2023 and opened in 2024. This means full rewiring with new sockets which include USB sockets full Wi-Fi and bedside lights that also have their individual reading lights and more USB sockets. Conveniently located at the top of Fore street with a 250-meter walk to the harbour head slipway. On the way you’ll pass 3 great cafés for those looking for a more substantial brunch with others to choose from around the harbour.
Kate & Julian had been involved in the travel market for nearly 20 years with the last 10 years being here in West Cornwall. We are always happy to welcome questions from our guests and are happy to share our knowledge of this wonderful area.
Porthleven is synonymous with food the famous food festival occupying the whole harbour (in 2024 26th-28th April) great places to eat out from excellent quality restaurants, kitchen bars, an open-air seafood bar, pub food, pasties and of course fish and chips to enjoy sitting by the harbour. There are of course and great more places to eat out nearby and we are happy to share our experiences with you. Porthleven Cornwalls (and the UK’s) most southerly port is of course on the coast path so plenty of opportunity for those who love to get their hiking boots on to explore.
