“The iPod doc did not exist.”

We were told it was there previously and a USB cable was delivered. However the small stereo was so old that there was no USB port. So it is difficult to believe it ever existed. Plus the Bluetooth speaker was not in the cottage this meant we had no ability to play music. As theses were detailed on your website we feel this was a misrepresentation. ...

We were told it was there previously and a USB cable was delivered. However the small stereo was so old that there was no USB port. So it is difficult to believe it ever existed. Plus the Bluetooth speaker was not in the cottage this meant we had no ability to play music. As theses were detailed on your website we feel this was a misrepresentation. The garage key security safe was very temperamental ( it took 5 times to unlock). As we were advised to leave the key in the safe for people to use the garage for laundry storage this was a worry. This made us nervous about using the garage access. The TV had a freesat box installed the day we arrived due to the previous people’s complaint. There was no instructions left and as there was a very specific set up required we had no TV until we were spoken to by the engineer on the Saturday. Overall the cottage was tired and not of the standard depicted by the pictures which was a shame as the location was lovely.

“It was a really enjoyable holiday in a lovely location.”

We felt the check-out time of 9am was quite early, but this didn't actually impact us at the time as the housekeeper was so kind in giving us extra time. The TV was still not working despite the previous review, and this was a minor set-back, but again the very helpful housekeeper is going to chase this issue.

“Having reported that the tv did not work on our first day, I tried the suggested solution which did not work and got NO response from the team when I further emailed on the Monday.”

It would seem that this problem of a non functional tv at the cottage is long standing from the Housekeepers book and should have been sorted. It is not fair to let a property knowing the tv does not work when we are into dark nights!!

- Mrs Walker, October 2020

We are sorry to hear that you had some difficulties with the television during your stay. The television has been checked and works fine. As explained, as there is a Freesat box, you need to ensure that the TV is on AV and not TV. Owner relations

The property

The sensational coastal views from this adorable cottage will linger in the memory.

Occupying prime position above the turquoise waters of the harbour, Kerbenetty (previously known as Harbour Cottage) could hardly be closer to the sea.

Few experiences are more pleasurable than sitting on the wide sun terrace that runs with width of the cottage and watching the activity of the harbour below, be it crashing with waves or still as a mill pond.

Children will love to play in the sheltered cove which has a small sandy beach and rock pools at low tide creating a natural playground for swimmers and snorkelers.

Portloe sits on the eastern side of the Roseland Peninsula; with a Mediterranean feel there are pretty coves, quiet sandy beaches and hidden creeks to explore.

Flip flops and walking boots are essential. Visitors to Kerbenetty will be transported back in time in this pretty fishing village where the landscape (and probably some of the residents) have hardly changed over the years.

Once a busy fishing port and smugglers haunt, the village is now a favourite with film and television producers.

Working fishing boats still depart daily to catch crab and lobster which are served at the upmarket Lugger Hotel (with restaurant and a spa) at the top of the slip, providing the perfect alternative to barbecuing on the terrace.

There is also a pub in the village offering good local fayre whilst basic provisions can be bought at the nearby Veryan Stores. Inside the cottage offers accommodation with a chic nautical feel and there are incredible sea views from every room.

The stylish sitting room is snug but all three first floor bedrooms are spacious and flooded with sunlight.

Pretty fabrics and period pieces blend effortlessly throughout.

About the location

PORTLOE

Truro 12 miles; St. Austell 13 miles; Newquay 20 miles

Often described as 'the jewel in the crown of the Roseland Peninsula', and rightfully so. Portloe is a very pretty, picturesque coastal village well-known for its fishing and walking opportunities. It boasts a delightful harbour with 3 working boats that go out to catch crab and lobster. Portloe was the filming location for a number of different films and TV series in the 20th century including the comedy series 'Wild West', featuring Dawn French and Catherine Tate. It is a small village with not much in terms of amenities, however it does have a very highly-rated food pub as well as a the Lugger Hotel with similarly positive reviews. Portloe proves itself to be a fantastic base for exploring some of Cornwall's most beautiful places. Truro, St. Austell and Newquay are all within easy reach, all with a fantastic choice of amenities and things to do. All three are well worth the visit whilst you're in this part of the country.
