About this house rental

Special offers and short breaks available. Dog friendly beach available all year.

Newhaven is a spacious holiday home that is ideally situated 100 metres from Porthleven Harbourside and 400 metres from Porthlevens long sandy beach. The popular 18th Century fishing village of Porthleven, near Helston in Cornwall is renowned as a holiday destination, offering tranquil surroundings, excellent food with a large selection of award winning restaurants, cafes and pubs. Art galleries, gift shops and a variety of water sports and boats trips all available in the harbour. Combine this with fantastic sea views and a long sandy beach which also offers a dog friendly section all year round - the perfect place for a relaxing holiday.
With a view of the harbour head from the master bedroom, Newhaven can accommodate parties of 4 to 6 in three bedrooms and has a good sized secluded private front garden with patio and barbeque - ideal for alfresco dining. Located just a two minute walk from the harbours edge and five minutes from a long sandy beach which stretches miles along the coast to the famous Loe Bar, this is the perfect place to spend a holiday by the sea.
Porthleven is a beautiful village which has managed to retain its wonderful Cornish charm. It has much to offer with a supermarket, restaurants, fisherman's pubs, many interesting quayside shops to browse selling arts and crafts and a village supermarket. Here you can spend many an hour strolling around the harbour and watching the boats bobbing up and down on the water, or the fishermen returning home to unload their daily catch. Alternatively, just sit back and take in the breathtaking views out to sea and across Mounts Bay. It is no surprise that Porthleven is popular with visitors all year around. During the summer months, the cliff tops are dotted with an abundance of wild flowers and in the winter, the dramatic sea makes a fantastic back drop for walkers enjoying the coastal path that stretches from Lands End to The Lizard. The pretty bustling market town of Helston is only two miles away and offers plenty for visitors of all ages. The town has an interesting mix of Georgian and Victorian architecture and offers a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. Being the gateway to the Lizard Peninsula and the Helford River, the Helford Valley has many beautiful villages to visit, set amongst wonderful rolling countryside.

We booked at the last minute and were so glad we did. The house was great for our family., enough room for five of us. It was really close to the harbour and the outdoor space was lovely. We found everything we needed to cook family meals, the kitchen was well equipped. Great place to stay, would highly recommend.

We have just left Newhaven after spending a lovely week in Cornwall. Newhaven and Porthleven are the perfect base for exploring Cornwall. We absolutely loved Porthleven. It’s got a perfect mix of atmosphere without being too busy. It had a lovely feel to it and out of all the wee towns and harbours we visited it was definitely our favourite. The house is situated perfectly with a lovely view over the harbour. The enclosed garden is perfect for dogs and the property is very homely with lots of beautiful art work. The host is very responsive and any questions were answered promptly. Would not hesitate to book here again.

Newhaven is a spacious house with a lovely garden in a brilliant location in Porthleven. There is lots of room downstairs with a kitchen, separate dining room and living room. Upstairs two good sized bedrooms, plus a bunk room which is suitable for young children. The house could do with a bit of TLC but that is reflected in the price. We had a few concerns at first but the landlady responded immediately to everything. With two toddlers and two dogs in our party we found the location only two minutes walk from the harbour ideal and we completely fell in love with Porthleven

Owner communicates via email and text and supplies all check-in information, house rules, and local information and recommendations. The house has lots of character and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The garden is enclosed at the back, which was great for our dogs, with garden furniture and gets the sun until about 6pm (late September). The patio at the front of the house is also a bit of a sun trap with garden furniture and gives access to the street where parking is available on first come first served basis. When we parked we were never more than 10 metres from the gate. The rear garden also has a gate which is the easiest way to get to the harbour avoiding the steep road and takes about 1 minutes to walk to the harbour. Great views of the harbour from the main bedroom. WiFi was available throughout the property. The main rooms - lounge, dining room and kitchen were spacious and nicely furnished. Also plenty of storage in the two main bedrooms. Bathroom has large bath with integral electric shower. Additional there is outside padlocked storage if needed. Porthleven is a beautiful harbour with great pubs, cafes and restaurants.

Newhaven was spacious and clean, a perfect house for a family holiday. In a great location, less than a 5mins walk to Porthleven’s harbourside with shops & restaurants. 10mins walk to the beach.

We stayed in Newhaven for the week with our 2 dogs and had a lovely time. The house is very spacious and provided everything we needed for our stay. The added benefit of a secure garden was the icing on the cake. It’s also a sun trap so we enjoyed sitting out there. Porthleven is such a lovely place and Newhaven is ideally located just a minute’s walk from the harbour. As the G7 was in full swing we didn’t venture too far on this occasion but there are plenty of lovely walks on the doorstep that kept us occupied. The 2 local pubs offered great service clearly working hard to meet Covid requirements. Communication with Sarah was easy and pleasant. All in all this is a 5* recommendation and we would certainly go back to Newhaven and Porthleven in a shot.

Fantastic location
Fantastic location
The property is in a wonderful position just tucked back from the harbour front. The garden was lovely and relaxing. The cottage was well equipped and furnished. However, we had a very cool start to our week and the night storage heaters were not on and the cottage was cold and the heaters were not sufficient for the evenings. Apart from this had a fantastic time with our dogs in the cottage.
