  We have just spent five nights in this beautiful cottage and were very honoured to be the first official guests . Communication prior to checking in was excellent and on arrival we had a lovely personal greeting and were shown around by our host . There was a generous welcome pack with fresh bread, butter, milk,wine and chocolates , and also a useful doggie hamper which was thoughtfully put together .The cottage is recently renovated to a very high standard with high quality fittings and tasteful furnishings throughout, it was also spotlessly clean. There is a good range of kitchen equipment and lots of thoughtful little extras that proved useful during our stay . The outside area provides a relaxing space with views of the surrounding countryside and will be even more delightful in the Summer. The hot tub was super for relaxing in after long walks. The cottage is very well located for exploring both the coast and inland, with lots of local attractions and beauty spots to choose from. The local beach is a couple of miles away and delightful and there are a variety of pubs and shops within easy walking distance in the village. It should be noted that although the hosts live next door , the cottage is very private both inside and out and they are very friendly and respectful and leave you in quiet enjoyment of the accommodation. We would not hesitate to book this excellent cottage again and will be recommending it to family and friends .

  A lovely cottage with a great view over the marshes from the front bedroom window.

  Just a couple of little things could have made it top notch. A bin bag was provided in the kitchen waste bin but when we had to empty it, there was rubbish underneath that was not ours. The fridge had not been thoroughly cleaned, bits in the drawers. Quilt covers had not been buttoned up . Nothing too serious but just showed a certain carelessness which was a pity. Like other cottages please could owners leave appliance books so that you can check how they work eg. the oven and microwave. It is just so much easier to look it up in the book rather than fiddle about trying to work out how things go especially after a long journey. Clearer instructions for the key box could have been given in an email as I could not get it to work and had to phone the owner. Overall a lovely area with easy access to walks, great little shop for the basics but the Crab box was not open; too early in the season. Good pub with lovely food.

  The cottage was easily found and the key system worked perfectly.

  On entering we were greeted with a lovely little welcome pack. A great start. The cottage was very well equipped (I do take my own wok these days!) throughout. Two comfy beds, warm quilts and superb view out across the marshes) from the front bedroom. The Cottage was always warm, ideal after some of the blustery, wet walks we had. A very good shower was well used. We hunkered down most evenings which was fine. On a personal note the sofa did not suit my back but the conservatory chair did! The Cottage location was ideal for touring the area. A straight forward loop walk from the front door to the shingle beach and back via the village store was a good start, or end, to the day. When we revisit the area If Pintail was available we would not hesitate to book again.

  A beautiful little gem of a property to stay in Porthleven, Cornwall, with stunning views across the harbour.

  Ideal location to use as a base to explore, with a must visit to the Twisted Currant, especially for their cream teas and The Deli, especially for their pizzas. Exceptionally clean, very warm, with underfloor heating and preset heating. Would have been nice to have had some instructions to be able to adjust the temperature as it did feel slightly chilly on occasions. Also, no instruction to utilise the Quooker, however didn't prove to be too much of a problem. Wonderfully comfortable bed and beautiful bedding in the main bedroom and some super decorative touches. Settees in the living room were not designed to spend too long a period of time on as felt a little hard on the back. All in all, a lovely place to stay.

  We have an amazing stay at Westfield Retreat. We felt welcomed from the initial call, tour of the place promptly when we arrived and the little extras Angela and Rob had, including a kit for our dogs which meant we barely needed to bring anything for the dogs. We had complete privacy and the time and date for checking the hot tub was clear from the beginning so this continued throughout our time away. It was a 10 minute drive to filey which we did regularly throughout our time away for walks on the beach and of course great fish and chips! Wonderful stay - would recommend to anyone! Ps the garden is a sun trap so if you drop on with the weather you won’t need to leave.
