This property was up an unmade road, and was on first impressions clean. However, we felt that a deep clean was needed as there were a number of cobwebs around the house and the oven would've benefited from a professional clean as it smelt of burning fat when used. Having said that it was well equipped and very comfortable.

This is our second stay at Porhelik. Lovely property, can see the owners care about their property and keep it up to a great standard. Nice seeing the cows in the field from the property and great to have parking for two cars. Wi-fi signal is great. Love the location as only a ten minute walk to the beach and close walking distance to coast paths. Would highly recommend and will definitely return again.

We loved our stay at Porthellik. The rooms were spacious and clean. Showers were both really good too! The walk to the beach is down a steep hill but it wasn’t far at all to get to the beach (which is beautiful). Would highly recommend
