Lovely property in great position. Just round corner from harbour but great sea views from main bedroom. We especially like the small bench outside front door for watching sun go down. Good facilities as described. Porthleven its self is lovely in so many ways.

The cottage was in an ideal position with views of the sea from the front. Inside the cottage was completely comfortable and clean with everything you need and more! Homely touches throughout and many nice local, quality furnishings

This was our 3rd stay in this cosy home by the sea, which says it all really. A comfortable retreat whatever the weather in a seaside town we love to visit.

We had a good week in porthleven. The property was fine but a little tired. The Internet was very poor, only worked for one day! On the plus side the bed was very comfortable.

We had a super time at Tigh-na-Mara, its a great cottage, a hop skip & jump from the beach and 5 minutes to the harbour square. For our four legged member, perfect enclosed patio (escape proof) & enclosed kitchen. The kitchen is well equipped, has the option of a bath or shower, very cosy and possibly the best holiday cottage bed for comfort wevRead moree stayed in. It was fabulous to hear the sea lying in bed. We relaxed very quickly and would love to return. Porthleven is a lovely quaint fishing port. One helpful point for future visitors is the parking, the space is not a problem but on exiting, there are often parked vehicles opposite. My husband managed to negotiate his L200 out but with care. This is not a complaint or to put people off, just the heads up. Theres also plenty to do in Porthleven that you dont need to leave. Happy holidays if you choose here. Hide
