We love the location and area of the old post office . Tge attention to detail was not the same as our first stay . The property was a little tired compared to our previous stay 2 years ago, cracked floor tiles , marks on carpets, marks on sofaâs . Bedroom 1 smelt musty /damp . The bathrooms were lovely and clean as well as the kitchen . The log burner was unable to be used as kept filling the room with smoke, so we were unable to use wood purchased. Previously this was already in the property. I also had to clean the glass before attempting to use. We had to purchase cleaning equipment, additional toilet roll, to keep the property clean during our week stay. Previously this was all available . We were disappointed that we were unable to adjust our stay by one day even though the property was empty without having to pay £71.00. Hopefully you will address these details as we would love to return.

A couple of minutes walk down to the harbour. We go down to Porthleven a couple of times a year, so know the village well. Lack of private parking is the only downside with this property, and what would stop me booking for the summer, but in the low season this isnât an issue as the nearby Kittos Field car park always had space. The apartment was very comfortable and well equipped. A small chest of drawers in the front bedroom would have been useful as there was no storage apart from the bedside tables. As other reviews mentioned in the guestbook, there is noise from the upstairs apartment, not the fault of the guests but you can hear every step on the floor - maybe some extra rugs are needed to deaden the noise? The heating in the apartment is very unusual, radiators are mounted on the ceiling in the living area and on the walls in the bedrooms which are designed to look like art prints. It was fiddly to adjust and get right throughout the apartment as there are separate controls for every single room. We would definitely come back to the Old Post Office for a low season break & are considering Rock Pool House for summer 2025.

Lovely apartment, perfect location. Went back to the ship, lunch at The Harbour, enjoyed the Welloe at Praa Sands and The Victoria at Perranuthnoe. Mabel loved running on the beaches.Shame about the weather, but we soldiered on.
