Cornwall is a wonderful place to visit at any time of year. Perhaps you want to explore the county in winter when there are fewer people around, or enjoy early Spring sunshine in the gardens and walk the south west coast path. Summer is great for warmer seas, ample beach time, water sports and outdoor dining. And, Autumn brings with it warm days and quieter beaches. Whatever your favourite season, our holiday cottages in Cornwall have plenty to offer.
Enjoy a long weekend in a cosy cottage in Porthleven this winter. There is so much you can fit into your stay or just relax and go as the mood takes you!

We would argue this is the best time of year to visit Cornwall and Porthleven. As the summer holidays come to an end it is a little quieter in the county and there are still long, warm days to enjoy. It is a popular time to walk the South West Coast path.
