Porthleven (/ˌpɔːrθˈlɛvən/) is a town, civil parish and fishing port near Helston in Cornwall. It is the most southerly port on the island of Great Britain, and was originally developed as a harbour of refuge, when this part of the Cornish coastline was recognised as a black spot for wrecks in days of sail. Nearby Loe Bar was particularly infamous, with swimmers and surfers being warned off the area. Porthleven has many large areas of social and council housing. An electoral ward called Porthleven and Helston South also exists. The population at the 2011 census was 3,059.

A very conveniently located large sized apartment (4 adults and a dog) Plenty of modern equipment. Beautiful well equipped kitchen. Busy harbour but quiet and relaxing location. Tastefully decorate with comfy beds and a large sofa in the lounge area. Would certainly visit again. The owners are a lovely helpful couple who own the shop below which is very convenient if you require any help Wish I was there now!!!!
