Mr Myatt
October 2020

“The owner has taken every step to make the cottage dog friendly.”

Great cottage in town walking distance to beach and countryside beyond. Cottage was extremely well equipped and made dog proof for visitors.

Mrs Edwards October 2020

“The cottage itself was very comfortable and the description accurate however, the description of the outside did not live up to expectations.”

The terrace was tiny with barely enough room for two chairs and a small coffee table and a very limited view of the harbour. The lower patio area situated at the bottom of a flight of about ten steps was small and uninviting and the utility room was not in the basement but was situated in a separate outhouse.

“Not clean , parking was terrible We couldn’t park near the cottage .”

The information listed on you information below wasn’t true You have a delightful patio area at the rear of the cottage, where you can pour yourself a glass of wine and drink in the views of the harbour. You could only just see a small part of the harbour in one of the bedrooms. Very disappointed as this was the reason I book this cottage and the guy on the telephone said it had a Seaview .

“Was very disappointed with the cleanliness of the cottage.”

The glasses needed washing before we used them as they looked filthy the table cloth was dirty. Pans were dirty and inside of draws littered with what looked like old food stuff. The shower plug hadn’t been cleaned in what looked like a long time. With The COVID pandemic I would of expected a higher level of cleaning anyway between guests but it wasn’t up to this in any standard. Very disappointed, stayed in many holiday cottages and never felt like I’ve needed to thoroughly clean everything before using things. Cornish cottage holidays have been good at communication throughout the covid they just need to address the standard of cleaning letting them down.

- Mrs Murray, September 2020

Thank you for taking the time to comment and I am sorry that you felt that Pilchard Cottage had not been cleaned to a satisfactory standard. We would always ensure that the housekeeper returns if the guests arrive and are unhappy. Unfortunately, as you did not report the issue upon your arrival and we were unaware of your thoughts until we received your feedback we did not have the opportunity to visit the property and remedy any issues.

About the location

PORTHLEVEN

Helston 3 miles; Penzance 10 miles; Hayle 11 miles; St. Ives 17 miles; Falmouth 17.5 miles.

Porthleven is one of south west Cornwall’s hidden, coastal gems, located near Helston, famous for its annual Flora Dance Festival. Situated between Lizard Point and Land’s End, Porthleven retains the feel of a traditional Cornish fishing village, enjoying uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean and the beautiful Cornish coastline. The iconic clock tower sits on the harbour entrance and the pubs, shops, cafés and restaurants cluster around the historic picturesque inner harbour, where there is plenty of boating and marine activity. With a warren of streets lined with classic Cornish, granite cottages, an extensive beach manned with lifeguards, the chance for alfresco dining in one of a number of well reviewed restaurants, and crabbing off the harbour, there are plenty of activities for the whole family to enjoy, all year round. Porthleven is building a reputation for eating out with a popular food festival established in the spring. Out of season, Porthleven has one of the best surf breaks in the country where you can sit down and get lost for hours watching the energetic surfers riding the waves. There are some fabulous hidden coves along this stretch of coastline, including Praa Sands, Poldhu Cove, and Rinsey, a magical setting for the more energetic. You may have even seen pictures of Porthleven on television, being one of the best spots in the UK for storm watching, with the crashing winter waves often being used as the backdrop to weather forecasts. Walkers will enjoy the South West Coast Path, adventuring west past Rinsey Head with spectacular views, or south across Loe Bar to Penrose Estate with its National Trust cafe, and on to Gunwalloe Church Cove. Take a trip to the Isles of Scilly by boat or plane and marvel at the display of sub-tropical gardens at the stunning Tresco Abbey. The Eden Project near St. Austell offers an interesting day out. Porthleven is the ideal base for discovering the delights of west Cornwall and the Lizard Peninsula.
