  • "Boscregan is a property with lots to offer."

    Beautifully designed with spectacular views. It is well equipped, nicely furnished and its cleanliness was apparent throughout. We would visit again without hesitation but for one thing. We were unfortunate to experience a change to the weather in the second part of our weeks stay which meant that the internal temperature fell at night under a comfortable level and it was cold. There was no instruction in the property about heating and indeed it seemed to us that the only visual controller had no power flowing to it to allow activation. A message and a chat with Sykes failed to produce any useful response and we were not contacted by the maintenance team to attempt to rectify the situation. The property description states that power is provided as part of the weekly rental fee but this did not apparently extend to heating.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback, we're absolutely thrilled to hear how much you liked Boscregan and are grateful for your positive words.  We're sorry to learn though that it wasn't perfect and you felt the cold during the latter part of your stay.  The error has been tracked to the simple issue of the controller needing new batteries and although spare batteries are provided, we appreciate you didn't know this and we're so sorry that our responses didn't help identify this or help at the time.  We'll look to add a note to the information pack to cover this should there ever be a recurrence in future and we'd like to reassure guests that heating is certainly included in the rental charge.   We do hope this helps to reassure you and that we can welcome you back again soon.

  • "Generally, it was a great place with great views, very clean and comfortable."

    We have a few points that would have improved our enjoyment. It appeared that the heating didn't come on until fairly late in the morning (after 8.00am) and the temperature setting seemed low with no obvious way to give it a boost. We would have like a grab rail or something in the shower and a "soap" tray to put soap/shampoo on while having a shower We did like that we didn't have to put the bins out like we have had to on other holidays in Cornwall

  • "We spent a gorgeous week at Cornwall and it was made even more memorable by Boscregan."

    The property is a short walk to the habour and the beach and ideally located in that sense. The walks on either side down the SW coast path were gorgeous as well. The bungalow is beautifully maintained and kept to a high standard. It was imepaccably clean on arrival and well equipped with cleaning essentials and a thoughtful welcoming cream tea with local scones and some milk in the refrigerator. The kitchen was very well stocked and fitted with good quality Neff appliances. The beds were comfortable and those sofas in the lounge were the comfiest we have been in - even better with jaw dropping 270 degree views and the best sunsets we have seen. We had a few niggles with a broken hoover on arrival but that was promptly replaced and our request for fans was dealt with too. We didn't use the barbecue but will definitely try and get there again for peak summer to give that a go. If I had to make any suggestions , some spare rolls of loo roll and better quality toiletries would be helpful. I can whole heartedly recommend Boscregan and thanks again for such an amazing stay.

  • "This is a beautiful property and beautifully maintained."

    Sofas, beds all so comfortable. So much light coming into the house, lots of space for 4 adults and two little girls to run around. This has to be the cleanest property we have ever stayed at, thanks to little D. The garden is big, just need to keep an eye on little ones. Lovely big balconies and patio area, unfortunately due to dreadful weather (2weeks) we were unable to use. The views are just stunning. We met a neighbour who was very friendly, as was the gardener and window cleaners. The cleaner little D was so helpful with suggestions for visit with children and advice going to Eden project. This fantastic property helped make this holiday. We can definitely recommend Boscregan.

    Everything was very clean. Many thanks to the cleaning team. The house is in a great location and it is only a short walk into the wonderful town. It was very quiet. We had a welcome basket with lots of delicacies. The kitchen is perfectly equipped. Its a great base for walking in the area. We can highly recommend Boscregan.

  • "We had a lovely stay at your holiday home, which has been thought about and planned to the highest standards."

    My sister in law said to me before we left if you get comfy sofas you can survive the week. They were lovely and we just wondered if you would tell us where they were purchased from as we would like to replace ours. Even though it rained a lot the house made it worth staying in . Big television helped.

    Thank you so much for the kind comments. The sofas were purchased from the Carnaby range at J C Williams in Helston. Property Owner

About the location

PORTHLEVEN

Helston 3 miles; Penzance 10 miles; Hayle 11 miles; St. Ives 17 miles; Falmouth 17.5 miles.

Porthleven is one of south west Cornwall’s hidden, coastal gems, located near Helston, famous for it's annual Flora Dance Festival. Situated between Lizard Point and Land’s End, Porthleven retains the feel of a traditional Cornish fishing village, enjoying uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean and the beautiful Cornish coastline. The iconic clock tower sits on the harbour entrance and the pubs, shops, cafés and restaurants cluster around the historic picturesque inner harbour, where there is plenty of boating and marine activity. With a warren of streets lined with classic Cornish, granite cottages, an extensive beach manned with lifeguards, the chance for alfresco dining in one of a number of well reviewed restaurants, and crabbing off the harbour, there are plenty of activities for the whole family to enjoy, all year round. Porthleven is building a reputation for eating out with a popular food festival established in the spring. Out of season, Porthleven has one of the best surf breaks in the country where you can sit down and get lost for hours watching the energetic surfers riding the waves. There are some fabulous hidden coves along this stretch of coastline, including Praa Sands, Poldhu Cove, and Rinsey, a magical setting for the more energetic. You may have even seen pictures of Porthleven on television, being one of the best spots in the UK for storm watching, with the crashing winter waves often being used as the backdrop to weather forecasts. Walkers will enjoy the South West Coast Path, adventuring west past Rinsey Head with spectacular views, or south across Loe Bar to Penrose Estate with it's National Trust cafe, and on to Gunwalloe Church Cove. Take a trip to the Isles of Scilly by boat or plane and marvel at the display of sub-tropical gardens at the stunning Tresco Abbey. The Eden Project near St. Austell offers an interesting day out. Porthleven is the ideal base for discovering the delights of west Cornwall and the Lizard Peninsula.
