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 ❤

Very clean with all the essentials for self catering. The cottage has been refurbished to an excellent standard but has retained original features. It was comfortable and just a lovely place to stay. We would certainly recommend it to others looking for a holiday in this part of Cornwall. The owners were friendly and easy to speak with and we were given details of their house keeper in case we had any problems. We have no complaints at all.

Sadly the review of this property is skewed by the fact that on the last day we found our bed to infested by what looked like caterpillars of some description. There was also a strong smell of damp in this room, which we were willing to overlook until this happened. Thankfully the room our daughters shared didn’t have any issues. It is a real shame that this occurred, as the cottage by and large was quirky and nice. Albeit if you are over 6ft tall you will struggle going down to the kitchen and bathroom. The location is excellent and very convenient for the town with its lovely harbour and restaurants. It’s also a good for exploring Penzance, lands end and other towns around the area. We brought this to the attention of the owners 24hrs ago and sadly they haven’t got back to us, but their representative was very helpful at the time. We would certainly return to the area and recommend, but not at this property. Overall a great holiday ruined at the end by the disgusting finds in our bed.

We had a great week in Porthleven - a lovely spot with the cottage 5 minutes walk from the harbour. The cottage was warm, cosy, spotlessly clean and with everything you need - exactly as described. Tastefully decorated, period features yet with all mod cons. Strongly recommended and hope to return another time.

Das Cottage ist wunderschön und sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Die Anreise war sehr unkompliziert und auch noch spät möglich. Vielen lieben Dank dafür! Mit Kindern ideal: Der Weg in Ort, Hafen und zum Strand ist sehr kurz. Sehr gute und hilfreiche Tipps für Ausflüge sind im Cottage zu finden. Wir haben die Zeit in Porthleven sehr genossen. Vielen Dank Maria und Rob.

House lovely. Not to far from Harbour

We was lucky with the weather we did lots of rocking pooling with our grandson. We had to leave early (Friday) as our grandson was unwell and was advised to go home .Our only concern was the parking We was told parking outside house but only if you could find a space Some days we had to park up the hill .

Lovely fully equiped cottage with great distance to the harbour

As a family of five we felt really at home for our one week in this tiny but fully equiped cottage. Porthleven is a nice little harbour village with lots of restaurants and things to see and do in the surroundings. The cottage is very cosy and had everything we needed. We loved it.
