"Kernow Cottage is a comfortable and well-equipped base for your holiday."
It ism literally 5 minutes walk to the attractive harbour at Porthleven, and the town shops and cafes. The owners re-equip frequently, making sure that the property is kept up to date. We have stayed in this house for five consecutive years, and thoroughly recommend both it and Porthleven as a holidy venue.

"Lovely cottage very close to harbour and amenities."
9.30am exit time too early as you couldn't arrive until 4pm meant you lost best part of a day. Kitchen roll would most acceptable also spare toilet rolls.

"Great location for centre of Porthleven."
Comfortable beds and chairs. Second bedroom is somewhat cosy, OK for us as only one person was using it. Bathroom mirror way to low for most, needs replacing with something with adjustable height. TV could do with an upgrade.

"Just returned from a fabulous week at Kernow Cottage."
On first impressions this is a house at the bottom end of a small housing estate . However the location couldn’t be better . A two minute walk brings you to shops and the harbour. The house itself has off street parking , which I think is a bit of a rarity in Porthleven . Inside was spotlessly clean and well equipt with everything you could possible need . The house is ‘upside down’ with the bedrooms being on the ground floor . There was only the two of us so we used the second bedroom for storage area. It is rather small with just about enough room for two single beds , but would be absolutely fine for children and it did have its own small fitted wardrobe . The main bathroom is upstairs, but there is also a downstairs toilet so you don’t have to negotiate the stairs in the middle of the night . I wouldn’t hesitate on recommending Kernow Cottage , and we will certainly stay again when we next visit Porthleven

"Kernow Cottage is in an ideal location a few streets away from the harbour, literally a few minutes walk away."
The cottage is comfortable and well equipped, suitable for a couple or maybe a family with small children. Although there is a second bedroom, this wouldn't be suitable for four adults. It's great that there is a driveway for off street parking. A lovely place to relax after a day walking and exploring this beautiful area.

"We had a lovely time at Kernow Cottage."
We couldn’t fault a thing. It had everything we needed in it and was so perfectly close to everything: the harbour, beach, shops and restaurants. The history of the house and town were fascinating to read about in the guides and welcome book provided. The guest book was great for ideas of places to visit and eat in. The parking space was such a bonus.
We loved every minute and had rebooked for next year before we left! We can’t wait to come back next year - we are already counting down the days!

"A lovely upside down house to stay in, which we wasn’t expecting."
Quite glad the bedrooms were downstairs as it was quite warm when we stayed and with the bedrooms being downstairs meant they were cool at night. The house has everything you need for a stay in Porthleven, only 3 minutes from the main harbour (yes we timed it!). Would definitely stay here again.

"This was our second holiday staying in Kernow Cottage."
It had everything we could possibly need and was very comfortable. It was great to be able to walk to the harbour so quickly and easily. Porthleven has a variety of places to eat and some lovely little shops. The bonus with this cottage was having our own parking space, rather than parking on the road, which is the case with lots of holiday cottages in the village. Many thanks!

It is a very comfortable house, well appointed and in a quiet location, yet only a few minutes walk to the town of Portleven and the harbour. We love the town, and there is always something happening to watch. It is also well-placed as a centre for visits to places of interest in other parts of Cornwall.

"The house inside was great, it had everything that we needed for a comfortable holiday."
We felt the outside area was let down. The back yard had a table and chairs but was surrounded on 3 sides with high grey walls, there was no plants or anything to brighten it up at all and it just felt very unloved and had zero wow factor
We were glad that the visitors thought the house inside was great and enjoyed a comfortable holiday. As the picture of the patio on the Sykes website shows, the rear high wall running the length of the house, offers privacy and is painted white. There are shrubs, bulbs and a flowering bush, planted in the raised bed at one end of the patio, which is further enclosed by the rear wall of the house and a small side wall. The patio is swept and cleaned weekly and the patio furniture is new for the season.

"The location is the main plus with this house, within a few minutes walk you can be at Porthleven Harbour, there is not a huge number of shops, but plenty of places to eat and drink."
A short car drive is Penzance and our favourite Falmouth.
The property is well equipped, and looks to have recently been refurbished, however there were a few minor jobs that need to be addressed, also we thought some net curtains would have been a nice touch.
All in all a property in a good location well equipped, by the sea.

"House located in very quiet location near to Porthleven harbour and all amenities."
The neighbours were friendly and said hello. Well equipped and comfortable house. House was warm and there was plenty of hot water. However, the kitchen could do with another large lidded saucepan, a large lidded saute/wok pan and some slotted plastic spoons.
Cleanliness - Surfaces were dusty. All mirrors smeared. Fridge needed a wipe inside. Mould inside plastic rim of washing machine. It was stated in note from owners that non-recyclable bin bags were provided under the sink - but there were none. We had bought our own cleaning supplies etc, so we left a few of our own bags for the next visitors. On the Tuesday evening a kind neighbour put out the black waste bin (normally stored in storage container in front of house) in which we put our black sack of non-recyclable waste.
Despite the slight let-down with the cleanliness issues, we would stay there again.
