The Gables is in a good location and very comfy in every way. Dedicated car parking really helped us too. The washing machine and dryer came in handy as we'd already been away for a week elsewhere before we got to Porthleven. Our 2nd stay, and very nice it was too!

A Beautiful fully equipped clean cosy cottage in a great location, close drive to local coastal resorts. Literally five minutes walk to restaurants, shops, pubs. Driveway is a little on the tight side if you have a huge car width wise. We have a Peugeot 3008 which was ok. We would definitely stay at the Gables again. Loved everything about it..

It is in a prime location to the harbour (2 minutes walk). You walk in and immediately know that the property is exactly what you were looking for - only shame it was just for a week for me. Porthleven is vibrant with so much to see and do, and is a great base to explore/ re-explore this part of Cornwall. Well worth the six hour drive from Essex, wRead moreill be coming back again soon.

Everything was to a high standard which we were expecting and location was perfect being so close to the harbour, beach and many lovely restaurants. The reason for the 4 score on booking again is only because we hope to visit many other places /countries and may not return to Cornwall very soon.
