This page is in printer-friendly black & white so please print and take with you as reference!

From Helston 

Take the road to Porthleven (it passes by Coronation Lake - the boating lake). At Porthleven, this road becomes Fore Street at the end of which is the harbour. Turn left along the Harbour Road and continue past the Harbour Inn  taking the first turning left up the steep Salt Cellar Hill (beware traffic from Prospect Place to the left and the sides of your vehicle). At the top of the hill take a very sharp hairpin turn to the right  into Peverell Terrace (beware of traffic in Peverell Terrace as Salt Cellar Hill is invisible). Continue along Peverell Terrace past the Atlantic Inn where Pentre House will be found on your left.  Pentre Cottage is in the grounds of Pentre House.

 From Penzance

Take the road to Helston. Before reaching Helston you will find another road to Porthleven on the right which is well signposted as an historical harbour. Follow the road into Porthleven and after you turn left into the harbour area (the harbour will be on your right) follow the road until you see the Harbour Inn on your right.  Turn right into the Harbour Road and go past the Harbour Inn and taking the first turning left up the steep Salt Cellar Hill (beware traffic from Prospect Place to the left and the sides of your vehicle). At the top of the hill take a very sharp hairpin turn to the right  into Peverell Terrace (beware of traffic in Peverell Terrace as Salt Cellar Hill is invisible). Continue along Peverell Terrace past the Atlantic Inn where Pentre House will be found on your left.  Pentre Cottage is in the grounds of Pentre House.

Be careful entering the Harbour Road from this direction as you will be cutting across traffic from Fore Street that is turning right into the harbour area.  

Parking

Parking can be found along Peverell Terrace but depending on vehicle size & type visitors to Pentre Cottage may be allocated a Parking Space in our Car Park.  The Car Park is opposite Pentre House next to the garage.

General

Please note that many of the roads around Porthleven are very narrow and may not be suitable for some vehicles and the roads can often be further restricted by inconsiderate parking. Please take extra care when driving especially on tight bends & corners where, without care, you might scrape your vehicle on the walls, and worse still, that other oncoming traffic may not be able to see you.

 Please park considerately!

And please remember that, all over Cornwall, the hedgerows look green and lush; but under this greenery is usually a friendly granite wall which has a habit of not moving, irrespective of how hard you might try with whatever machinery is at your disposal!
