“Lovely cottage in idyllic setting.”
Mrs Whyte September 2019

“Even better than 3 years ago, when we stayed the first time.”

The cottage has been improved, especially the kitchen, and the old loungers outside have been replaced too so they are more comfortable. Everything was as we would have hoped and we have already booked the same week for 2020
Mrs O Leary August 2019

“Lovely cottage in an absolutely stunning location.”
Mr Gosling March 2019

“Beautifully situated cottage, very comfortable not far from a dog and people friendly pub.”

Fantastic area with lots of stunning coves and beaches, parking very difficult for all but the smallest vehicle, we paid to park in the village car park and walk, it was easier and safer. Stairs very steep if your mobility is limited.
Mr Kemp March 2019

“Would book again if the price had not jumped up so much compared to the week we had.”
Mrs Mann March 2019

“Cottage was pretty much as described although more information on whether the garage is to be used or not would be helpful as there was nothing in the instructions that suggested whether we were allowed to park in there or not.”
Mrs Embling February 2019

“Wonderful, right on the cliff location.”

Cottage is well equipped and comfortable. Be warned of narrow steep drive for parking and a number of internal steps, but this a great place for the able bodied to enjoy total peace off season and leave feeling revived.
Mr Mills February 2019

“We could not have asked for more.”

Within touching distance of water in the cove that is Portloe the Cottage was close to perfect. Everything had been addressed to make our stay comfortable and welcoming including some scones to enjoy with that first cup of tea when we arrived. Cornwall in February surprised us with regards to the weather, warmer by a few degrees than at home in west Berkshire and so many plants in bloom. The owners have managed to make the Cottage more of a home than just a rental. Thankyou
Miss Allen February 2019

“Wonderful property.”

Ideal location for escaping the hustle and bustle of life. Cream tea on arrival was lovely and sitting out on the patio with a cup of tea and enjoying the tranquility of the surroundings was heaven.
Mr Rodgers December 2018

“Thanks for that wonderful accomodation and location,we came for a restful and frlaxing holiday and that IS just what we got.”

GREAT

Kerbenetty is a wonderful cottage in an amazing setting.
Mrs Maddocks November 2018

“Wonderful location, lovely clean cottage with amazing views of the harbour and cliffs beyond.”

We were met with scones, jam, milk and clotted cream in the fridge which was very nice. Linens and towels were great quality and clean and bright white. The cottage is very nicely decorated in a beachy theme, the kitchen had all the necessary equipment as well as coffee, tea and sugar (some basic herbs/spices/olive oil would have been welcome as there is no shop within walking distance). No hair dryer was provided and the glass on the wood stove had to be cleaned before we could enjoy the fire. We really enjoyed sitting out on the terrace in the sunshine watching the waves and the seabirds and had lovely cliff walks each day. The beaches in the surrounding areas were wonderful and as we were there in the “off season”, our dog was able to enjoy them as well. We would caution anyone with small children or any mobility issues as this cottage is on a very steep cliff and there are very steep stairs inside and outside the cottage. Although we enjoyed our stay, our first night was a bit chilly as the electric heaters had not been on and it took until well into the following morning before we felt the cottage had warmed up sufficiently. There is no mobile service in this area so we were not able to contact the housekeeper but emailed Sykes for assistance, it took 24 hours for Sykes to respond and by that time my handy husband had figured out the heating and we had burned through all of the logs provided! Very surprising in view of Sykes reputation for customer service. A lovely place no matter what the weather!
Miss Evans October 2018

“What a cosy and delightful cottage.”

The sea views were fabulous. We enjoyed the scones and clotted cream and settled straight in to eat them . The weather was great for mid October and the sun shone regularly so we could sit and eat outside. We enjoyed walks with our dog straight onto the coastal path with spectacular views. What a lovely break from it all at home .
Mrs Cranstone October 2018

“Beautiful setting and lovely welcome cream tea and flowers, very Much appreciated - thank you.”

Close proximity to the local pub and lots of walks. A couple of points though - Need to include tea towels and oven gloves at the property Should be in the listing that the stairs are steep, uneven and open on one side - especially if a family with young children or elderly relatives arrive Should state that there are different floor levels/steps inside the property - this can be a bit of an issue for relatices who are slightly unsteady on their feet.
Mrs Bishop August 2018

“Great property!”
Ms Barry June 2018

“This is the most amazing house, the views are so fantastic You can see and feel the sea all around, it's like being on a luxury ship The cottage looks beautiful inside and outside and.”

the terrace overlooking the sea is the ultimate holiday treat, this place is a nature lovers paradise Portloe is a haven of tranquility and felt so fresh even when the temperatures were soaring This is the place to go if you want perfect peace Listen to the waves lapping and drink in the calm relaxing and rejuvenating atmosphere The cream tea on our arrival was a lovely touch We immediately felt at home - such a gorgeous and homely house Sykes is a great agency, thank you for being so friendly helpful and efficient

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.

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.

Note: the unique setting and position of this property mean that children should be supervised. Note: Check in time for this property is 4pm
