Lovely cottage, perfect position and well appointed inside. Very spacious and nice layout. Everything you need for a lovely holiday in Porthleven. Parking a real bonus even if a bit tight for bigger cars. Would stay again.

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 parkedRead more 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! Hide

A lovely cottage, seconds away from the beach. Perfect for our needs. This is our second time here and will probably return again. The only down side is a small parking space but at least it has one. Would highly recommend.
