Hello Mrs Fisher. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Crab Pot so much. Thank you for such a glowing review. It has been a particularly wonderful time to visit Porthleven and Cornwall this year with fantastic weather. Should you visit again we will look forward to hosting you but can’t guarantee the weather will be quite as good! Best wishes to you all and thank you again for the excellent review. It is really appreciated.

Thank you so much for such a great review Mrs Graham. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay so much. It means a lot us to have such praise. Sitting and relaxing overlooking the harbour is a lovely thing to do. I’m pleased you made the most of it. Whether another stay would dovetail with such good weather we cannot guarantee but it’s been a real bonus in Cornwall so far this year! All the best and we really do hope to welcome you again.

That is so good to hear Mrs Lytle. A special thank you from me to you both for booking Crab Pot again and for the care you take of it when there. We also particularly appreciate returning guests and the positive comments. Porthleven is a great place to be and we are delighted that you enjoy being in Crab Pot when there. We wish you an excellent summer and rest of this year. Hopefully we will welcome you again in 2027. Best wishes Tina

Hopefully you will return at some point! Your comments are very much appreciated. Best wishes to you all for a great Christmas and for 2026.

It is so good to hear that you had a great weekend and made the most of the winter weather in Cornwall. We try hard to present Crab Pot well and provide what guests need for a happy holiday. Your lovely comments make it all worthwhile! Thank you so much for a great review and for taking the time to comment. Our best wishes for a very Happy Christmas. We hope to see you again at some point. Tina

It was a pleasure to welcome you back to Crab Pot. I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay as much as before. We really appreciated the couple of minor things you flagged. It’s always far easier to address things before they become a problem - and thank you so much for tightening the screw on the towel rail! We really hope you might visit again sometime. Thank you for a great review. Best wishes to you all. Tina

Thank you so much for such lovely comments. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay. It really does matter to us that guests have a great holiday. Could you please explain why ‘facilities’ are marked down? I think this may be a mistake! Best wishes go you all and hope to Welcome you again at some point. Thank you for taking the time to comment. It’s really appreciated. Tina

Thank you so much Mrs Lytle. We are delighted you really enjoyed your stay and hope you will publish your comments on the website! Guests who take time to comment are really appreciated. It would be lovely to see you back at some point. Best wishes to you all and thanks again.

Thank you so much for a lovely review. I tried to contact Mr Miners before and during your stay but received no response. I was particularly concerned your stay would be special as the surname rang bells. Lottie Miners (previous owner) must have been a great lady and I would be really interested to know about her. My neighbour at number 5 has very fond memories of her. Please, if you would like to, ring me to tell me about Lottie and the cottage. I’m intrigued with the way things were in Porthleven and what changes you or your Father see in the cottage. It’s hard to imagine what it must have been like to be one of the nine children living in Porth Vean! I am really delighted you enjoyed your stay. It really matters to us that the cottage fills expectations. Please do ask Mr Miners to get in touch. My number is 07815 765222 Best wishes to you all. Thank you for booking and I do hope you will visit again. I am thrilled you and Mr Miners stayed in Crab Pot. Tina x

Thank you Emily for taking time to review. It’s lovely to know you had a great holiday and that you found everything you needed in Crab Pot. It’s great to know that you heard of the cottage from relatives. Word of mouth is just the best promotion! Best wishes to you and your family. Hope to see you again sometime.

Wonderful to hear you had a great holiday and so enjoyed your stay in Crab Pot. We do try hard to get it right so seriously appreciate your comments. The cleaner remarked how well the cottage was left. Thank you for taking the time to strip the beds too. It was a great help when there is such a lot to do between changeovers. Thank you for your lovely comments and for being model guests! I hope the rest of the summer is a good one for you and that we may see you again sometime. Take care and best wishes to you all.

It was really good to know you enjoyed your stay in Crab Pot Cottage and found it very comfortable. The ‘Pirate room’ is very handy and children do love it. We try hard to get things right in the cottage but can’t control the parking I’m afraid. Generally it is possible to park within 75 yards of the property if not directly opposite. Thank you for choosing to stay in Crab Pot and for your great review. We do hope to welcome you again the the future. Best wishes to you all.

We are delighted that you so enjoyed your stay in Crab Pot and really appreciate your comments.

It was unfortunate you were given the incorrect postcode by Cornish Cottage Holidays, not a good start to your holiday. The description and photographs do clearly show the cottage to be overlooking the inner harbour. The cottage is kept exceptionally clean in all areas and is usually complimented on how well equipped and clean it is and never that there is too much in the cupboards. Following your stay I went to the cottage and checked everything. The shower in the shower room is was found to be functioning perfectly well so I am mystified as to why you seemed to have a problem with that one of the two in the cottage. No one had mentioned an issue with sink and bath plugs in the en-suite prior to your stay. That has now been looked into and one of the two plugs replaced. When we spoke you acknowledged that if prior guests had not mentioned it, I would not know. Thank you for flagging that. Of the three toilets in the cottage there was a fault with the one in the shower room. It appears that the screw inside the cistern attaching the handle to it was loose. Possibly as a consequence of it being loose the hook joining the handle to the flush mechanism had detached. An easy fix as it turned out. It was such a shame you did not contact me as soon as the problems occurred and I could have found a plumber to visit. You arrived on the Saturday and did not inform me of any problems until the following Thursday mid day. I tried but it was not possible to get a plumber to come on your one remaining day, a busy changeover day, Friday. I’m pleased you found the high quality beds to be comfortable and also the lounge furniture. I hope you were also able to take advantage of the lovely seating area overlooking the harbour during your stay. Crab Pot is described as a characterful Edwardian ‘cottage’ and has been lovingly restored and brought up to date. Your adverse comments are not reflective of all the very positive ones found in the Visitors Book.
