A lovely fishermans cottage a stones throw away from the harbour. Very welcoming and equipped for all our needs. Furnished to a high standard. The courtyard was a lovely space and on street parking not a problem. Good base for walks and only a 5 minute walk to the beach. We holiday in Porthleven alot and this was a lovely cottage to explore the Read moresurrounding area and relax in. Hide

Beautiful cottage in a great location. The surroundings were beautiful and relaxing, and the cottage itself was spotless, cosy, and well equipped with everything we needed. A perfect place to unwind and enjoy a break away. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend to others.

The cottage is fanstastic througout. Recently refurfished to a very high standard. There was nothing we were short of or needed. Spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfy we slept really well.Its only a few minutes walk to the town in a very quiet street. No problems parking we always found a space, Porthleven is a great base as its 30 minutes drivRead moree to most of the places you would want to visit. Lots of walks form the town. The Ship Harbour inn and the Mussel shoal are great places for a beer. Would stay is the same cottage in a hearbeat loved it. Hide
