Property code: OC-6STELV

This welcoming apartment boasts a prime position in the heart of Porthleven’s bustling harbour. Sleeping four guests, the sociable, open-plan accommodation is ideal for both small families and couples. Keen walkers will be in their element, with dramatic stretches of the South West Coast Path branching away from the town. Nearby attractions include St Michael’s Mount, The Lizard Peninsula, and Flambards Theme Park (all within 10 miles).

The apartment is arranged across two floors and is accessed via a private entrance. The decor is fresh and contemporary, with vibrant pops of colour adding personality and style. Enter into a cosy sitting room, which is a lovely space to unwind with a good book, before heading upstairs to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This bright, sociable space has a dining table for sharing mealtimes as a group, and comfortable sofas for enjoying movie nights together. The stylish kitchen area is equipped with everything you need for a self-catering holiday. The property has two bedrooms to choose from: an elegant double with a four-poster bed and an en-suite shower room, and a cosy twin. A family bathroom rounds off this fabulous harbourside apartment. Outside, you’ll have a small balcony where you can relax with a sundowner.

Porthleven is a working fishing port and, as expected, you’ll find many restaurants and traditional mariners’ pubs serving delicious, fresh seafood. The town also has a lively art scene, and there are several studios and galleries to peruse – the perfect place to pick up a little souvenir from your trip. Stretching away from the town is a 3-mile sand and pebble beach. This wild and rugged landscape is a great place for experienced surfers and keen walkers. For a traditional buckets and spades-type beach, head to the gorgeous Praa Sands, just 5 miles along the coast.

Fifth time in Porthleven, had a great time as always! We would recommend Praa Sands beach - kayaking across the harbour at Waterborne if you have children. Thank you!

Great weather most of the week. Super walks, great food - really enjoyed the Atlantic Inn - never ventured up the hill before!

Just what the Doctor ordered! The moment we rounded the bend into the harbour all became well in the world! So good to be back. Very impressed with the new Kota Kai and fully recommend 'Sea Drift' for a Sunday Roast. If you get a mo, visit the Minnack Theatre, Porthcurno - amazing place.

Thank you for a lovely holiday, most enjoyable. Just like home from home - didn't need to bring anything with us! Mother-in-law lives at other side of the harbour so good position to be in. Plenty to see and do in surrounding areas so have been very busy!!

Thank you for a well appointed and spotlessly clean apartment. We've had a brilliant week - the children have hardly left the beach!

Thanks so for a fantastic stay in a wonderful apartment. The welcome pack was a lovely idea, Lewis is now totally in love with clotted cream (Harry is unfortunately not allowed dairy). Porthleven is a lovely, friendly place, we have thoroughtly enjoyed our stay. The Atlantic Inn does loevely food and children eat free between 5.30 - 6.30 during theRead more summer. It is well worth the walk up the hill, the views are fantastic. We also found the book on the coffee table about Porthleven very usefull and enjoyed a couple of walks, there are so many hidden walk ways around. The rockpools also provided many hours of fun and we caught all sorts of things. The chippy on the top road re-opened this week under new management so may now be worth a try. We have certainly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to come back. Hide

What a beautiful apartment - we have fallen in love with it! We love Porthleven (our 2nd visit) and really enjoyed being right on the harbour. Such beautiful sunny days made local walks in both directions a real treat.

I have been meaning to drop you a line all week just to let you know that we had a fantastic holiday and that 'st elvans retreat' was top notch. Thank you for your assistance in arranging our booking. Hopefully we'll be in touch with you again in the future.

Our first trip to Cornwall and well worth the long journey. Apartment is perfect - cloean, well thought out and what a position. We loved Porthleven - such a beautiful interesting place. Cornwall is fabulous - especially this South West corner. We are already planning our next trip back to 6 St Elvans.
