We had such a wonderful time at the cottage and in Porthleven! Thanks to Maria’s tips in advance, a very comfortable check-in and the easy communication throughout we were able to enjoy our stay from the very beginning on. The cottage is very well equipped (we are a family of five), especially the kitchen provides everything one could hope for and washer and dryer were a great asset as well. The location is perfect (everything from supermarket to harbour and beach is just a short 5 min. walk away) and Porthleven is a very charming town. We were particularly happy about the cleanliness of the cottage. It’s a bit unusual to have kitchen and bathroom all the way downstairs - and the stairs would be too steep for smaller kids. Also, the taller ones of us did hit their heads once or twice - but it didn‘t take long to get used to ducking your head when entering the bathroom :-)We were super happy with the cottage, would definitely recommend it and would love to come back one day!

My family and I had an excellent stay in Porthleven. The house was lovely, very clean, and it had everything we needed for a week away from home. The location is excellent and it was just a few minutes walk to the harbour. We couldn’t always get parked on the street that the house is on, but we did manage to park each night in the street behind if needed which wasn’t a big deal. We messaged the hosts a couple of times and I have to say that they were excellent. They replied quickly each time and they were super accommodating. Overall we had an excellent stay, and I would highly recommend this property and hosts.
