    "Brilliant find!"

    'The Loft' offers a prime location in Portmellon bay with immediate access to the beach and only a short walk to Mevagissey harbour. The views were unbeatable and we often found ourselves watching the sea with our morning cuppa! The property is well equipped, very clean and had the bonus of a bath and washing machine which can often be difficult to find when booking holidays. All of the beds were very comfortable and our children slept like logs! We had a thoroughly enjoyable time and are already looking to book our next holiday at 'The Loft' Definitely recommend this home from home ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    "The one positive about this unit is the view."

    Apart from that, what looked “quirky but cute” online was just awkward and uncomfortable. The floors are uneven and there’s an odd 1 inch step from the main area to the bedroom area. The bunk room can only be accessed by going through the other bedroom. The bunks might seem fun for a 6 yr old but my teenagers couldn’t sit upright and the upper bunk has about 1 ft of clearance to the ceiling half way down. The mattresses were very uncomfortable. The bathroom is clean but so sparse there wasn’t even a box of tissue. There is no dishwasher so everything needs to be hand washed. The WiFi is ridiculously slow and only works in the main room. If you are booking it anyway, know to book your dinner reservations in advance because all the good restaurants were full on a Wednesday night. Plan on walking up and down the large hill to dinner because the roads are a narrow nightmare for driving and parking is almost non-existent. We had booked for 2 nights but left after one.

    "This was our second stay at The Loft."

    We will definitely be returning next year. The views looking over the bay are fantastic. Saw a seal! Had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Adam. He clearly has a passion for this flat and took our comments very seriously. He also owns the flat below, "The Beach House" which he showed us. It is very tastefully decorated. Adam clearly has his guests comfort at heart. Locally we recommend "Lobbs Farm Shop" near the Lost Gardens of Heligan for supplies. Apart from the walks along the sea there are some nice public footpaths behind the flat which takes you inland. Next time we will bring binoculars. FIVE STARS

    "My second stay, with a different friend this time."

    Only a short break but have had the best time. Got chatting to various other people holidaying locally (also a few of the locals) everyday. Lovely to sit outside and the lady staying below gave us Pimm's with all the trimmings. Enjoyed a couple of dips in the sea. Lovely meal at the Ship Inn, Mevagissey and wonderful views walking over. There is always something to see here. I couldn't wait to get back to the comfy bed from which you can see and hear the sea. Although sunny on the last day, a huge wind whipped up and threw huge waves and seaweed over the road, quite a spectacle. Had a small issue with no hot water but Adam (owner) was very helpful and quickly dispatched two very pleasant plumbers to get it sorted. I will be back again as soon as possible.

    Great sea view! Love Portmellon and would recommend our accommodation. A long mirror in the bathroom would be good. Fab food at the Rising Sun! and the Barley Sheaf in Goran.

    The location afforded fabulous views over the bay and the place grew on us during our stay. Would return there with no hesitation.

    "We had a lovely week at Portmellon, the view from the property was out of this world and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the apartment looking out of the window."

    As a keen swimmer, the bay was safe to swim in daily and we had some lovely walks around the area. The apartment was perfectly located for the kids to play on the beach whenever they liked and the friendly neighbour lent us his binoculars so that we could watch the seals in the bay.

    So relaxing with the most amazing view and the sound of the waves constantly, what more would you want. The local pub is very friendly and lovely food there. The Shack next to it was so convenient, lovely pasties and hot chocolate. We've already booked for next year! P.S Lovely coastal walks, up the hill to the right.

    "We absolutely loved our stay at the loft, the views were amazing, we were seconds from the beach for paddle boarding and everything was so clean and comfortable."

    Only slight problem was the bottom sheet and mattress protector kept coming off the bed every night no matter how tight we put it back on, which made sleep a bit uncomfortable. Would also love a couple of armchairs so that kids could watch tv with us.

    Thank you so much for your feedback, we are delighted that you loved your stay at The Loft at Beach House. We are grateful to you for flagging the issue with the sheet and mattress protector, the elastic had in fact gone which was causing the issue of them coming away from the mattress. We can confirm that our housekeepers have now replaced both the bottom sheet and the mattress protector. Property Owner

    "We loved the location."

    The property was equipped with what we needed although furniture was functional rather than comfortable. We were disappointed not only that the room temperature was only 10 degrees when we arrived but that there was no way of controlling the heating. The owner said we just had to hope it would click on eventually. Some days it did and some not at all. No consistency of timings. It would have been good to have some recycling opportunity, and it would have been helpful if the listing had indicated the presence of a freezer.

    Thank you for your review following your stay. I am sorry the heating was inconsistent, it appears the timer had been inadvertently altered. This has now been set to the correct timings. The property description does already list a freezer, apologies if you missed this. I am glad that overall, as you said in the visitors book, you found The Loft at Beach House a great place to stay.
