The house has been beautifully renovated and is in a convenient position for visiting various places on the Lizard. Everything in the house was tasteful and the property was very clean. We were able to park on the road outside the cottage every day, which was a bonus in Porthleven. The cottage was even better than the photos and I would definitRead moreely stay there again. Hide

Beautiful cottage, with everything we needed for our week long stay. Great location for the village and easy on-street parking. Steep stairs, but the description was clear about this, and the hand rails are good. Beautifully fitted out and spotlessly clean - thank you for a lovely stay.

Gorgeous fishermans cottage, on a quiet residential street. Only a few minutes walk from the harbour. Small but perfect! Hard to leave!
