    We loved the cottage it is well furnished and everything that you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. There was milk biscuits and juice left for us and tea and coffee. Fresh flowers in the lounge so a very welcoming feel to our stay

    A lovely, well equipped cottage in the middle of Porthleven. Only a 5 minute walk from the Harbour, its location is ideal to explore Porthleven itself, and the numerous walks (including the SW Coast Path) in the area. The cottage is lovely,...
