Porthleven Coastal Retreat with 5 Bedrooms

Amazing views of the sea from so many lovely big windows, great to watch the fishing boats, fabulous location, had everything we needed and all the space for a group of 9 and a dog. Great garden and enclosed for the dog so quite safe.

Had to pay the owner an extra £10 per night for the dog - in what I thought was a dog friendly property I’d already paid for on booking.com. Upstairs shower didn’t work well, and that bathroom could do with a deep clean. Lots of cobwebs and dirt and dead flies by the lamp in the living area. Mostly clean though. Perhaps needs a deep clean every now and then. Everything else worked and there was nothing we needed: maybe extra toilet rolls. The furniture and decor is all dated and very old and tired but that’s to be expected for the low cost and excellent location.

Fantastic location, only 10 minutes walk to the harbour. Plenty of space for 9 of us without feeling like we were on top of each other. Great facilities- cooking utensils, dishwasher, washing machine.

There was nothing we didn’t like

The location is amazing, the views are stunning. The size of the property easily catered for 9 people & 3 dogs. The garden was a great bonus.

We loved it but being objective, the place needs a little tlc. The outside furniture needs replacing, one of the chairs was completely broken & so we avoided using them as they are wooden & brittle. A mop would be very handy, as would additional mats by both the patio doors.

The location of the property is perfect. Lovely sea views and within walking distance to Porthleven harbour and beach. The rooms were all a good size. The host was responsive, friendly and helpful.

The property is in need of some tlc and basic repairs. The shower door fell off the runner constantly and had to be put back before we could use it. Some curtain rails were hanging off the wall and curtains didn’t close fully. The cupboard door to the washing machine was broken and hanging on one hinge. This almost fell on my grandson when we first opened the door. Ideally we should have been warned about this. We had to keep a chair in front of the door the whole time to ensure it didn’t fall on one of the children. One window was ill fitted and tissue paper has been stuffed in the gap, presumably to prevent draughts. The outdoor furniture is really old and there were chairs on the balcony but not in the garden. There was a table in the garden but not on the balcony which is upstairs off the lounge. The only access from the house to the garden is downstairs through a bedroom or via the front door. There was no hairdryer even though one is mentioned on the listing. There were no spare bin bags and no dishwasher tablets so both had to be bought at the local shop. The bedrooms are below the lounge and kitchen/dining areas and due to the flooring being wooden, this meant that the sound and footsteps echoed through the floor. We had very young children and so when they woke at 6.30 am everyone else was awake too.

Window views of the sea and sunsets were lovely, kitchen and table good size for large family, easy walk into harbour for shops and restaurants. Good WIFI for distraction during heavy rain 😄

Some rooms were a little dusty. A few broken door hooks and broken patio chair, but nothing significant that impacted our stay.

Great place for big family or groups.You have everything what you need for your vacation.Well worth the price,plenty space for everyone.We really enjoyed it,highly recommended.The beach is only 4 minute walk from the house ,which is great.

The location is great and the view from the property is great.

The property is in need of a lot of TLC. It feels very neglected and in need of decorating and modernising throughout.

The property was great, very spacious & well equipped

Nothing at all
