Excellent holiday location with parking

Very clean and cosy homely property for a great getaway in Porthleven. With parking an issue in this popular village being able to know you can just park up on your own dedication spot is great. We love Porthleven and look forward to coming back again and would definitely rebook this property.

Bathroom needs attention.

We had a very good stay at Driftwood. Porthleven and the location of the property were ideal. The only thing that was at fault was the bathroom which needs some serious attention. Also we could have done with an information pack left by the owner.

Easy to find, great communication and the perfect base for our holiday. Parking was such a bonus and the very short walk to the harbour was ideal. Lisa and Matt were quick to get back to us with any questions we had and some much appreciated tips on the local area. We had an amazing week. Thank you!

we arrived late in the day but entry was as arranged. the property was immaculate and well furnished. there were some welcome drink making items. The kitchen was nicely laid out with good quality items. we didn't realize there was a dushwadher until later in the week, but as we were mostly dining out itvdidnt matter. the house is in a quiete street and has a secluded back garden with patio furniture. me walk into the town is less than a five minute stroll. porthleven is a lovely place with a picturesque harbour and beach. we enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Brilliant location for this beautiful place

Having dedicated parking in Porthleven is great and takes out all the stress when you know you can just pull up. Located in a quiet area with friendly neighbours but just a short walk to the harbour. When my son and I come back to Porthleven we would definitely like to stay here again. The only negative with an otherwise great place is that there is not a freezer facility but Lisa kindly arranged to freeze some bottles for our journey home so that we could take home some famous Philps pasties.

A week in Cornwall

The cottage and the location absolutely brilliant. Best of all it's on the main bus route between Penzance and Falmouth The buses are really cheap and reliable so if like me you like a tipple with your lunch it's the perfect way to get around.

Very clean, just a slight ingress up and down to get to Harbour, and need more info to operate hot water boiler. Neighbours were very nice and friendly. Windows could do with up grading as condensation is in between double glazing.

Conveniently located to explore the south west of Cornwall- spectacular beaches, coves and coastal walks. Parking space is very welcome. A very minor problem was quickly dealt with.
