Porthleven is a picturesque Cornish fishing village, located on the south coast 10 mins from Helston (by car). This is a great place to stay for a few days, there's loads to do, lots of great food & beer and some fantastic photograph locations. Porthleven has plenty of accommodation but booking early is essential, there is also a campsite 5mins walk from the village centre. There are loads of great restaurants & pubs with a plentiful supply of coffee shops, not forgetting the 'Horse & Jockey' pasty shop, a beef skirt rough puff pasty is my favourite, especially washed down with a pint of 'Proper Job' from the Harbour Inn. One of my favourite places to eat would have to be the 'Ship Inn', really very good food, lovely sea food and some good vegetarian options also. Roaring log fire in winter for those cold drizzly days. Places to photograph - The Clock Tower is probably the most famous landmark to take an image of, especially during a S.W. Storm, waves frequently reach the top of the tower, how it's still standing pays testament to its builders (they don't build them like that these days). At the end of the pier is good for surfers out on the reef, you'll need a long lens at least 400mm. Between Porthleven and Helston, there is a National Trust area called 'Penrose Estate', this is a great place to walk, it has forest, open pasture, beach front and lakeside views (I'll be posting a separate description about Penrose) at a later date. One thing to note - During the English school summer holidays, Porthleven can get extremely busy.

"We only stayed the one night, so didnt get chance to use the facilities. Although we didnt have a dog, there was plenty of evidence that the hotel was very dog friendly. We had a very nice double room on the ground floor. It was clean and welcoming. There was a variety of chairs to sit on. Much more comfy than squatting on the side of the bed. The bathroom was also spotlessly clean with a lovely walk in shower and a bath. Lovely large white fluffy bath towels. Our stay came with a breakfast, which was really appreciated as we had a long drive back home. The menu choice was good and varied. Overall we enjoyed our stay and wouldnt hesitate in recommending to others. The only thing that spoilt our stay was my husband getting black marks on his hand going to breakfast. From the ground flloor rooms, there is a small number of steps going down to the reception and restaurant area. Im guessing that the handrail had been cleaned with a metal polish and the residue had not been polished off sufficiently. My husband has mobility issues and would have gripped the handrail quite tightly to help navigate the steps. Luckily there was lovely thick paper napkins on our table, so i was able to wipe most of the marks off."
