It was located in a back ally way. The women on the phone seemed disinterested in helping us get in our front door. We never saw a real person. It was a very small studio unit. The Booking.com description over sold what we got. It was expensive for what we got in our opinion.

It was newly renovated.

Little more plates etc and a mirror up higher in the living space

Lovely compact place. Everything we needed. Nice extra touches. Excellent location

Would be nice to have more hangers and a bigger chest of drawers. Please clean the shelf at the top of the bed/sofa as it is the only space to store luggage and it was very dusty and all the dust ended up on the bed after moving the suitcases around. Please be aware that the picture of the outside space is bit deceiving, it is just a couple of chairs in front of the main door with is on a side street. Make sure to bring an eye mask as there are no curtains and there two large glass panels which let it lots of light!

Great location, very close to the harbour. The studio is small but you get what you pay for! We found it quite cute :) It was definitely big enough for two adults and a whippet (no extra charge for a dog which is appreciated!) Bed is comfy but quite small.

The door didn't open and close easily. Shower kept going hot and cold. The room was cold on arrival. A security light would be beneficial to open key box on arrival. Overall very good accommodation.

The location was good with easy parking.

The most serious drawback(no pun intended) was the lack of any form of curtain or blind at the full length windows either side of the front door and the window pane itself in the front door. This meant that ambient light from the town came into the studio at night. In high summer when the sun rises at 4:30 am, sleeping must be very difficult. And it would not be much of a problem to rectify. Also, we arrived in the dark and rain to be met with two rental cottages within 100 yards of each other, both going by the name of The Hideaway and each having identical key safes outside. We spent a long time trying to open the wrong key safe. Either the two owners of the two properties need to have a conversation with each other or this needs to be mentioned in the directions, which, unless you are using the What3Words app, does not take you to the obvious front door of the property. 

A masterpiece of miniaturisation in a charming little ginnel in a lovely, and typical Cornish harbour town. Very well equipped and perfectly warm and comfortable.

Only 2 if everything so had to wash up even during a meal at times Getting the bed down and putting it away was a bit of a pain

Close to village centre Takes dogs

The ‘private’ patio seating area is not as private as indicated - is completely open to the ‘alley’ / backs of other properties/ walkway. As it goes, it was nice to say hello to the neighbours/ the few people who walked past but was not as expected.

Like a great ‘tiny home’ - had everything we needed in a great, quiet location. The bed was very comfortable and there were lots of ‘bits and bobs’ there we wouldn’t have expected. Things like washing up/ cleaning stuff you often need to go and buy were already there. ( as were tea / milk etc). The space is small but well thought through. Comfortable temperature. Heated towel rail that dried wet towels/ swimmers. We got street parking close by. Easy walk to harbour. Pleasant outside area. Great value and would return.

I found the bed a little hard on the first night, but soon got used to it.

The cleanliness and design of the property.

Stayed in June 2023

Possibly an issue with humidity which was building up during the night due to lack of ventilation. With the door slightly opened it seemed to resolve.

Great location, property was tidy and clean and they left us some lovely biscuits and a few things in the fridge :-)

Nothing to report.

Stayed in February 2023

shower wasn’t great but did the job no tea towels provided

Everything you needed for a short stay

Stayed in March 2023

took me a while to figure out how to turn the shower on! maybe a sign or a note to say the switch is outside ?

it was very well instructed so i knew exactly what to do. there were extra details e.g. shampoo/conditioner which were great.

I personally found the mattress too hard, but my partner was fine with it. With 2 keys and keyring we found it very difficult to fit the keys back in the lock box everytime we left. These are only minor gripes though and it was a lovely stay.

Lovely little studio apartment in central Porthleven with easy access to restaurants/pubs/harbour/beach. Quite small inside but space was used well but there isn't a great deal of storage. Just enough room for our (big) dog to sleep. Easy to access and find with What3Words and easy to get in with key lock box plenty of parking on Thomas Terrace but we did stay in January. Can imagine very busy in summer. Very clean and tidy with lovely welcome of milk in fridge and tea/coffee in jars as well as a support number if we needed it. Porthleven was gorgeous in the January sunshine and we loved and long walks along the coastal path to Loe Bar and Mullion and the Ship Inn is a fantastic retreat post exercise!!

It was a bit hard to find on google maps, kept sending us around the block. Might be easier if the hideaway sign was facing the street instead of tucked in the little alley

Stayed in September 2022

the bed was so hard, so we left a day early and the towels start to smell musky after 4 days wouldn’t have fancied them for another day

the location and its new and fresh, close to everything and could park in a street nearby. Neat little kitchen and lovely table and chairs to sit outside

Beautiful studio in a lovely location. perfect size for us plus one small dog. Very clean and everything was thought of including providing all the essentials that one would need.

Stayed in September 2022

A set of blinds either side of the front door as the light comes straight in, in the morning. Obviously not an issue in winter but in the summer it gets you up early

Such a wonderful little place, put together incredibly well with a great finish. The host had provided a few items like milk and fresh corn ish strawberries in the fridge. There were even bathroom items like toothpaste and brushes incase you'd forgotten your own. A really good electric shower as well. Couldn't have asked for much more

Nothing to dislike & will definitely consider returning to this Studio apartment.

Location was perfect, easy access to the centre of Porthleven & also great walk around Loo Pool.

The overall size of the unit was very small. The bathroom sink was impossible to use as the space between the mirror and sink was too close. There was no view as the windows and door looked straight onto another house. No parking.

The location was fine and very close to the main port area
