My family and I had an excellent stay in Porthleven. The house was lovely, very clean, and it had everything we needed for a week away from home. The location is excellent and it was just a few minutes walk to the harbour. We couldn’t always get parked on the street that the house is on, but we did manage to park each night in the street behind if needed which wasn’t a big deal. We messaged the hosts a couple of times and I have to say that they were excellent. They replied quickly each time and they were super accommodating. Overall we had an excellent stay, and I would highly recommend this property and hosts.

A wonderful quirky property in a perfect location, just a stones throw from the Harbour. Beautifully clean, the property was exactly as listed. Definitely not for really tall people or little ones due to the height of ceilings, steepness of stairs and layout of property, but was perfect for us! We all loved our little home for the week. Maria and Robert were more than accommodating when we had some personal issues trying to check out - we can't thank them enough! Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will definitely return ❤
