  • We took a little visit to Porthleven, looking around Porthleven Bay and the town, what a beautiful little place.
    You can also see our other visits around St Ives, Cornwall and other areas on the channel.

    Been coming to Porthleven on-and-off for 25 years. After this years trip I have decided that one will be my last.
    When I first went there it was a working fishing village. I took my tent and fishing rod and headed to the pier or nearby Prussia Cove. The cottages were half tourists and half locals. There were shops and Pengelly's for food. And there were still 2 pubs.
    Now it's a tourist resort. Might as well rename the village to Pontins.
    All the cottages are tourist lets. The (main) campsite no longer wants me and my tent. (there is another campsite up the hill - slight trek "Treza Camping". Very good and welcoming. But a pain of a walk for someone with a heart condition).
    All the local pastie shops appear to be charging London prices. Same in the pubs.
    "The Ship Inn" is the most expensive but I'll admit the food it 10/10. As expensive as it is - it's probably worth it. The beer is equally as good. So even at the prices being charged I wont complain over it.
    "The Harbour Inn" tho is a complete joke. The beer is average. And Im being REALLY generous in an average mark. I didnt hate it - but I didnt want another one...
    And the food. OMG.
    The food is at the same standard as a "Hungry Horse". It is not good.
    The prices tho. Very price gouge'y.
    As per The Ship. I dont mind paying for quality. Tho I might limit myself to only a few visits in my trip. But you are not getting quality at The Harbour Inn. But you are paying for it...
    Such a shame. I used to look forward to my trips here. From now on I'll be heading off to North Wales/Anglesey instead.

      Sorry to hear you're not a fan anymore. I still love it to be honest... but I only went for the first time 3-4 years ago

    Portleven is stunning but you should check out a video here on yt of porthlevan in a storm. Crazy footage of 80 ft waves battering this extremely well constructed port. Well worth a watch

    This is where my parents live video a little confusing one shot is one side of the harbour next is on the other wouldn’t recommend following this if you’re doing a walk round and it’s Phelps pasties not Philips 😂
