  A lovely cottage with a great view over the marshes from the front bedroom window.

  Just a couple of little things could have made it top notch. A bin bag was provided in the kitchen waste bin but when we had to empty it, there was rubbish underneath that was not ours. The fridge had not been thoroughly cleaned, bits in the drawers. Quilt covers had not been buttoned up . Nothing too serious but just showed a certain carelessness which was a pity. Like other cottages please could owners leave appliance books so that you can check how they work eg. the oven and microwave. It is just so much easier to look it up in the book rather than fiddle about trying to work out how things go especially after a long journey. Clearer instructions for the key box could have been given in an email as I could not get it to work and had to phone the owner. Overall a lovely area with easy access to walks, great little shop for the basics but the Crab box was not open; too early in the season. Good pub with lovely food.

  The cottage was easily found and the key system worked perfectly.

  On entering we were greeted with a lovely little welcome pack. A great start. The cottage was very well equipped (I do take my own wok these days!) throughout. Two comfy beds, warm quilts and superb view out across the marshes) from the front bedroom. The Cottage was always warm, ideal after some of the blustery, wet walks we had. A very good shower was well used. We hunkered down most evenings which was fine. On a personal note the sofa did not suit my back but the conservatory chair did! The Cottage location was ideal for touring the area. A straight forward loop walk from the front door to the shingle beach and back via the village store was a good start, or end, to the day. When we revisit the area If Pintail was available we would not hesitate to book again.

  What an absolute gem of a cottage, beautifully designed and decorated.

  The kitchen/diner is very large inside equipped with all the essentials, the dishwasher was out of order minor issue. Lounge very cosy and relaxing, bedroom large in size with a really comfortable bed, minor issue the bed is very low. David our host was extremely welcoming and informative about the cottage and surrounding area. The welcome pack of chocolates and cake was a lovely gesture thank you for the treats. We have never stayed in such a relaxing, peaceful and quiet accommodation. You can hear the bees buzzing the birds singing. You could never tire of the beautiful panoramic surroundings, the views are simply breath taking. Returned home feeling extremely relaxed and recharged, we will definitely be returning.

  A beautiful little gem of a property to stay in Porthleven, Cornwall, with stunning views across the harbour.

  Ideal location to use as a base to explore, with a must visit to the Twisted Currant, especially for their cream teas and The Deli, especially for their pizzas. Exceptionally clean, very warm, with underfloor heating and preset heating. Would have been nice to have had some instructions to be able to adjust the temperature as it did feel slightly chilly on occasions. Also, no instruction to utilise the Quooker, however didn't prove to be too much of a problem. Wonderfully comfortable bed and beautiful bedding in the main bedroom and some super decorative touches. Settees in the living room were not designed to spend too long a period of time on as felt a little hard on the back. All in all, a lovely place to stay.

  Property generally clean, but omisssions in some areas, E.

  G. between bannnisters at top of stairs where there was accumulation of dust. Kitchen: Kettle needs regular descaling as could most of tap area. Instructions for microwave would have been useful. Cleaning cloths for use in bathroom and kitchen would have been helpful. Bedrooms: Maybe tog rating of duvets could have been higher in view of cold nights. General: It would have been useful to have clear instructions for recycling/landfill etc. These comments are intended to improve user experience. Seaview Cottage is a spacious property in ideal location.
