We watched the surfers off the quay, did some paddle boarding in the harbour and sea-kayaking with the seals off Porthoustock. The walks along the cliffs to the east and west are spectacular. Evenings are lively in Porthleven with numerous pubs and restaurants within easy walking distance around the harbour - and don't forget the Atlantic Inn up the hill behind the cottage. The sunsets are spectacular.

Also it was noticeable that the property wasn't quite so clean as previous years, dust and marks on the living room coffee table and some other surfaces and water splash marks all over radiator in bathroom. Also blood stains on bed sheet in first floor bedroom. We still had a lovely stay.

I just assumed it would be there - especially for the money we were paying - and it never occurred to me to check it. I have learnt my lesson. Wonderful location - within the house, lighting could be improved both upstairs and downstairs (for reading) and dining room area quite cramped
