Guests say
Porthgwidden Cottage in Lelant is a well-equipped, spacious property with a lovely garden and BBQ, ideal for families. It's in close proximity to St. Ives, local amenities, and beautiful beaches, though on-street parking is not directly outside. The cottage's low kitchen ceiling may be a concern for taller guests, and with only one toilet and shower, larger parties should plan accordingly. The hosts are praised for their helpfulness and prompt communication.
Guests have described the cottage as very clean, indicating high standards of cleanliness throughout the property.
The cottage's location is highly praised for its proximity to St. Ives, local amenities, and beaches, making it perfect for exploring south-west Cornwall. Deductions are made for the parking not being directly outside.
The beds are described as very comfy, and the cottage is spacious enough for families. However, the low kitchen ceiling and limited bathroom facilities for larger groups slightly affect the comfort score.
The property is well-equipped with a kitchen and BBQ, but the single toilet and shower for a party of six, and the low ceiling in the kitchen, suggest some limitations in facilities and maintenance.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches from the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness category.

The J family
Very nice house, well equipped and not far from great beaches. Only thing we struggled with was no parking outside the house particularly as we have 3 young children, but other than that it was lovely.
