Property code: OC-GRANDA

A tastefully renovated fisherman’s loft featuring sweeping ocean views across the coast of Porthleven. This secluded bolthole is perfect for couples or solo travellers seeking a restorative retreat by the sea. Unwind on the Porthleven harbourfront (500 metres) and sample curated seasonal menus incorporating unbeatably fresh ingredients. Back at base, toast with a sparkling sundowner perched on your clifftop terrace.

This traditional cottage is brimming with a refined coastal charm. Picture clean lines, calming marine blue tones, and light-dappled social spaces. Shrug off sandy windbreakers at the door then ascend the staircase to the inviting heart of the home. Rustle up a post-adventure supper in the compact shaker kitchen and slide out a chilled bottle of wine from the fridge. Curl up on the padded armchairs bathed in the natural light from the large picture windows and indulge in a sweet treat overlooking the rippling waters beyond. Completing this floor is an airy bathroom. As the night draws in, venture downstairs to discover a tranquil double bedroom with a glorious glass door. Pad along the terracotta tiling then sink into the soft linens for a peaceful night’s sleep and awaken to the sounds of the ocean below. Throw open the patio door and sip your morning coffee on the decked terrace or escape the elements and delve into a novel in the inviting summer house.

Embark on a blustery saunter along the golden stretch of sand at Porthleven Beach (100 metres) before strolling by the selection of local galleries, coffee nooks, and independent shops peppering the harbour (500 metres). Get snap happy as you pick up a section of the coastal path winding towards Loe Bar (1 mile) or drink in the breathtaking views from the iconic Lizard Point (13 miles).

Grandad's Net Loft is in a good location with fabulous views. Lovely clean white sheets and towels, a nice welcome with a vase of flowers some scones and jam and a pint of milk. The kitchen area was fine, it's small, but we weren't cooking lots, so it was ok. Plenty of space for clothes and lots of coat hangers. However, the whole place is tired anRead mored needs some love. A coat of paint might help, a table would be more useful than footstools. The photos you see on the website were taken when the chairs were new - they don't look like that now. We didn't sit in the summerhouse - too many cobwebs and it needs painting and a new floor. It seems expensive for the standard, but I guess you're paying for the view. We had a lovely holiday - would I book it again - maybe if it was spruced up a bit. Hide

A lovely cottage and perfect for a weeks stay. It was very cosy and comfortable and the garden and summerhouse were a true boon to take in the absolutely fabulous view. We hope to return.

We love coming to Porthleven. Second time in Grandad's Loft. We shall be back. Very small but clean and ideal for two people. Not much room for cooking but we ate out apart from breakfast. Every morning we had a seagull tapping on the door??

The whole property was in a very poor state of repair and cleanliness. We were shocked that having paid a premium price for this property that we did not get the same quality accommodation that he have received from both this holiday company and several others over many years of holiday rentals. Before I submit my review I would ask you to contaRead morect me so I can gain some understanding as to how this property was allowed to be let in this very poor state. Hide

We have stayed at Grandad's Net Loft three times in three years. It is in an ideal location with parking. However this year the property is looking tired and tatty in places.

The location of the property was idyllic. BUT in poor weather conditions it would be too cramped, as no sofas or comfortable seating, and the living accommodation is too small. The locks on both the front doors and the door to the garden are DIABOLICAL, stiff and very hard to operate, and one day someone is going to break the keys, and get stuck Read more!! These need changing. The decorative condition needs attention, all window/door frames need work, and so does much of the plaster work inside the cottage. Kitchen/bathroom are well appointed. Nice to have own parking space. Garden furniture was covered in bird muck on arrival and we had to wash this, the cleaners should have done this. The clothes drier needs replacing, too rusty to use and broken in parts. Generally the property needs a fair bit of maintenance and TLC. The garden is unkempt and disappointing. Everything looks very tired. Hide

Lovely position. Compact accommodation, lovely terrace when the weather allows. No dining area and only one tray for TV suppers. The outside picnic table was a little heavy to bring into the bedroom area for an evening meal. But don't be put off, we loved it.

The towels and linen were very good. The mattress on the right side had collapsed gave me backache. Cream tea was ok but washing up liquid would have been appreciated a lot more. TV remote was not compatible with TV the up and down did not work.
