What our customers say about their holidays

  Wow! What a holiday we had - first week was calm then Storm Eowyn arrived and after that Storm Herminia! If you love storm watching, this is the place to do it. The views from the property are spectacular and made our holiday. As visitors, we found the town welcoming and friendly with a choice of eateries considering it was January. We had breathtaking walks when the weather allowed. The sea was just boiling coming into the harbour during the second week - having lived in Cornwall previously and for many years, we had never seen anything like it. The property was exactly what we needed with comfortable, reverse level accommodation to take in the incredible views. Beds were comfy and we slept well on the ground floor during both storms with two blips in power which must have immediately restored themselves as we only realised because the cooker clock was flashing. Internet was good - initially we both did some work from home simultaneously and it held up well to both of us being on Teams calls at the same time. Kitchen incredibly well equipped. We loved it and were sorry to go home but we are planning our next visit.

  We relaxed as soon as we arrived! We loved being able to walk over the road and be on the beach but also being able to retreat away when we needed a rest. The house was fresh and felt loved. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we could need. The beds were comfy! We used the parking for unloading and loading on arrival/departure but parked in the harbour or opposite The Atlantic Inn aside from then - we knew our car wasn't small so would likely not fit well (it fitted but so tightly it felt as though it was going to end in wiping it down a wall at some point if we did it often!) but being able to park close for those days was great and it was easy to find parking close-by that was better sized for our car when we needed it. There's an outside tap for washing down muddy or sandy things which we found really helpful. The location is great, both for Porthleven but also for the surrounding area. Plenty to do without getting into the car, and even more if you do. All in all we loved it and would happily have stayed for another week!

  Fantastic holiday cottage in perfect location. The upper floor gives perfect views of the pier and the sea rolling in. Happily spent time just watching that. There are some very steep stairs to the attic room however so need to be aware of in case there are any mobility issues. The cottage has everything you need come rain or shine and the quality of everything in the cottage was excellent. Cottage cleaning adapted to ensure all Covid safe. Location was perfect, right near the harbour and with beautiful walks on your doorstep. Good bus service if you want to explore further afield but don't want to take the car. No parking at cottage but street parking round the corner with no issues taking up resident spots etc. On arrival easy enough to ramp up outside cottage to unload then park up when done.

  We had a lovely stay at Fair View in December. Location is great - close to the town but with a lovely sea and beach view from the attic room (our favourite room). You can hear the waves crashing from the bedroom, and a lovely bench out front to sit and people watch. There is no parking but we were able to easily park just behind the house after we off loaded our luggage. Lovely and cosy on ground floor, bedrooms luxurious and as mentioned - the attic room a perfect place to relax whilst watching the sea, surfers and wildlife in the warm and dry. We will definitely return again.

  A great location and the view is wonderful; the apartment is comfortable and convenient for the rest of Porthleven, however, I don’t feel the property was worth the price tag! If you’re going to charge £1200+ for a property then it’s got to be 100% maintained in all areas, the log burner should be left with kindling logs and matches, and there shouldn’t be dog hairs left around the apartment. The Friday changeover is also problematic for those with children of school age and working people who don’t want to take an extra days leave!
