• "Lovely view ."

  Night storage heaters ,always difficult to regulate the heat .Upstairs bath very deep and would be difficult for a person with mobility issues or to bath a baby .Yes there was parking for three cars but the slope would deter a nervous person .Dishwasher was a surprise .clothes washing facilities good .Accept 4 o’clock arrival ,but 9 o’clock departure early ,especially if six have to wash and children are involved .Rubbish bins got full ,and not clear if anything gets recycled .We would have hoovered before departure ,if there had been one .Two bedrooms did not have a window to fresh air ,might be hot in summer .Property was clean ,and kitchen facilities good .Good location to walk into Porthleven

• "This is our second stay at the property."

  It is well equipped, spacious and well placed for touring. The views from the house are a treat, the harbour area is well worth a visit and there are several shops and places to eat. We hope to have a third visit in 2024.

• "Overall the property was a very nice place to stay."

  Negatives: The downstairs shower had some black mould along the bottom of the door Bed comfort 3/5 Upstairs bedrooms not ideal leading onto garden room .. too hot in hot weather Thought garden room was an unnecessary addition. Driveway very steep Positives: Excellently equipped kitchen/utility Comfortable lounge area Lovely garden space Suggestions: A bbq would be a welcome addition Cushions for the garden chairs

  Thank you for taking the time to send in your feedback. The mould along the bottom of the shower door has been dealt with. All the beds have new mattresses. We are glad that you enjoyed the property and we hope to maybe welcome you back again. Property Owner

• "Superb location, close to the beech and the harbour, easy road access with private off street parking."

  Very well equipped accommodation, with upside-down layout so you can look out to sea in the evening.

• "Despite two phone calls to the housekeeper (messages left both times, ) we got no reply."

  We could not figure out how to operate the new hotplate and needed some help. There were no instructions .We could therefore not have our usual egg and bacon breakfast Regards, Graham and Linda Swift

  Thank you for completing your feedback. There was an error with the telephone number for the housekeeper, this has now been corrected. The hotplate is an induction hob, so the rings will not heat up until a pan is put onto the ring. Property Owner

  Very steep drive to park on. That was the only problem but Will probably go back in the future.

• "Pendrea was a lovely house with everything we might have needed in it."

  The welcome goodies were a lovely touch along with beach towels etc that we could use. It was clean, spacious, well situated for Porthleven beach and harbour and we had an amazing holiday there! We hope to return again next year!

• "Pendrea house was ideal for our family of 4 adults and 2 children."

  The situation is ideal with fabulous views of the ocean from every window. The garden at the back of the house is beautifully tiered and an ideal place to watch the sun setting in the evening. Only a 5 minute walk to the beach and 10 minutes to the harbour. We loved Porthlevan and the sun shone on us.

• "Cottage and location were perfect."

  Easy driving distance to famous Cornish landmarks. Lovely views of the sea from the cottage and terraced garden. Suited our needs admirably. Loved Porthleven with its harbour, pubs, restaurants an easy 10 minute walk away. Would have no hesitation in recommending the property to a friend. Thank you for a lovely family holiday, even the weather on the whole was good.

• "We had a wonderful week at Pendrea cottage."

  It was well equipped and we were grateful of the stair gate, high chair and travel cot that was all provided. Great location with 10/15 min walk into Porthleven and Loe Bar also right on your doorstep to walk round. We are regulars down to Cornwall but first time with a toddler in tow so we visited a new place for us - Paradise Park in Hayle can highly recommend for little ones! Thank you for a lovely holiday just what we needed.

• "The cottage was lovely one of the best equipped holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in."

  It had beautiful sea views. My boys especially liked the games room where they played table tennis. There is plenty of places to visit so it makes a good base. But the harbour is beautiful so if you don’t want to go far it’s nice to walk down to it. Go left from cottage and you have nice cliff walk. Altogether a gorgeous holiday destination.

• "Lovely holiday home in a great location."

  The views from the living house and garden are amazing! It’s just a short walk down to the shops and pubs but also on the edge of the Penrose Estate so handy for long walks and the beach. The property had everything we needed and more and is clearly very well looked after. We’ll definitely be looking to book again!

• "An excellent property in a great location with marvellous sea views ."

  All the many positives in respect of this good sized, well equipped property with great coastal views in a wonderful quiet location on the outskirts of the village are well reflected in previous published guest feedback. However as also previously noted there are a number of areas for improvement which the owners should address. In particular more attention to the cleaning which superficially was fine. During our stay we had a significant issue with the electrics tripping after rain, the housekeeper/owner does not answer the published phone number (previously noted). Sykes Holidays, who are difficult to contact due to their telephone queuing system, offered very little visible useful support and we finally got the issue, hopefully, resolved through assistance from Cornish Cottage Holidays.

• "Very well situated with magnificent views only down side was the steepness of the drive which we were not aware of which made parking more difficult than I wanted."

  The property was well laid out and well equipped with thoughts given to leisure activities should the weather be not suitable to go out. The tumble dryer was full of clothes fluff which we removed before use as it could have potentially been a fire hazard. The property at end of main season probably needs a deep clean rather than a normal changeover clean as there are areas such as bathrooms that need attention. We did really enjoy our break and would recommend the cottage should the items be addressed

• "We have stayed here before and love it for it's location and sea views."

  However the cottage is looking a little tired now and could do with a bit of an update. The new bigger TV was a hit though. The standard of cleaning was not as I would expect. I think the cottage could do with a good spring clean every 6 months or so to get rid of the carpet stains and to clean the cutlery drawer of all the crumbs that like to dwell in there! The glass doors in the kitchen were also very smeary and greasy.

  Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay at Pendrea. Following a very busy season we have since had the carpets cleaned following your stay and plan to replace them in the new year. We are pleased to hear that despite the points mentioned you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

• "A fabulous holiday home with lovely views and in a great location for walking into the harbour and village."

  The welcome gift of wine, biscuits and flowers are a wonderful touch and there was even a pint of milk in the fridge so we could have a much needed cup of tea whilst unpacking. The owners have thought of everything you could possibly need even down to crabbing nets which were well used by my children. The games room is fantastic for if the weather isn’t great and led to some family competitiveness between adults and children - the children won! The only negative points were the standard of cleaning and the housekeeper phone numbers provided by both the email confirmation and in the welcome folder in the house are not recognised when called. Cornish cottage holidays have acknowledged this and have contacted the owner but to date there had been no update. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pendrea and would definitely recommend to friends.

• "The house was in a good position in relation to the village of Porthleven and the surrounding area of Cornwall with all areas of interest no more than 10-15 miles drive."

  The house was comfortable with all facilities needed and the added attraction of a games room with a full sized table tennis table bringing out the competitive natures of the family!! The walk into Porthleven was enjoyable, taking about 10 mins alongside the beach and the harbour and there was an array of good pubs/restaurants, tea room and small shops. The local art was also fascinating as well as the jewellery.

  It offered everything a family needs and the ping pong table was a great night in for fun entertainment. The walk down to the centre has breathtaking views of the sea and beach. We had no issues apart from we had no internet for a couple of days. The minute we mentioned it to the cleaner, she passed on the information to the owner and he gave us all the information needed and phoned BT. We managed to sort it in the end,although we weren’t to bothered,our two teenage children were..
