"This is the fifth year that my Daughter and I have stayed at this excellent bungalow."
The bungalow is well equipped and comfortable for our stay. The location is only a short walk to the harbour and the various pubs and eating places. The location is ideal for either local walking or commuting to other interesting locations. There is always a treat left for our arrival, this year the makings for a cream tea and some milk.
We intend to book again for 2022.

"Penrose was perfect for our week away in Porthleven."
The bungalow was well equipped and in a great location, so close to the harbour yet within a quiet neighbourhood. Outside provided off road parking and outdoor seating to catch the evening sun.

"Lovely, comfortable, very neat and clean cottage in a lovely little town."
My only negative comment is the curtains let in a lot of natural light as well as the street light, but having said this we slept extremely well anyway.

"Having stayed at this property a couple of times in previous years and given that it has not been occupied for a number of months we were surprised to find cob webs on the light fittings and on the walls."
We also had to open the bathroom window when having a shower as the extractor was ineffective.
Thank you for your feedback. The owner apologies for the cleanliness not being up to standards and he confirmed he spoke with the Housekeeping team which assured they will take better care of Penrose. We hope you will enjoy more holidays at the property in future and have a lovely time Property Owner

"Penrose was a lovely bungalow, spotlessly clean and fully equipped with everything we could possibly have needed for our week’s stay."
It was just a 5 minute walk to the harbour with its shops, cafes and restaurants. The locals were very friendly and every effort seemed to have been made to make Porthleven as COVID secure as possible. We found plenty to do and see in the area and think we will be returning in the future.

"Penrose cottage was in an ideal location for exploring Porthleven."
You could leave the car parked safely on the drive and walk to the harbour in abour 7 minutes. Was a gentle slope uphill on return, not very taxing.
The cottage was in a peaceful, residential location which was ideal for exploring south Cornwall. It had lots of extra little touches for making the most of a self catering holiday, although we ate out most nights as there are an excellent selection of pubs and restaurants in the village. We enjoyed the bottle of wine left for us on the bench in the garden which is a real sun trap in the evening.
The only negative would be if you're a family with 2 cars, parking for the 2nd may be an issue. There are lots of cars parked all along the road and in turning points so this would need to be considered.
A thoroughly enjoyable holiday and felt very safe with all the covid precautions in Portleven.

"Every facility was provided for."
Accommodation spotlessly clean. Central heating was on when we arrived. Bottle of red wine on the table and a pint of milk in the fridge, a lovely welcoming touch. Could not fault anything. Unfortunately had to cut short the stay because of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. The cottage is well positioned for visits to all parts of the Cornish places of interest.I do wish the company every success in surviving this virus crisis. You are a real asset to Cornwall.

"This property is pretty much perfect (if your not fussed about having a garden or coastal view) ."
It is really clean and inviting and in a great quiet location within a short walk to the harbour, pubs and shops. It is extremely well equipped with everything you need, such as sharp knives, the variety of cookware, cleaning products etc. This may not seem much to some but to me it's these small things that mean a lot (and we've stayed in many cottages and so don't say that often) . I Would whole heartedly recommend this property to anyone.

"Penrose is a delightful bungalow for a holiday - this was our 3rd stay."
It is spotlessly clean, very well equiped, lots of strage space, and has a very comfortable king sized bed. It's a short downhill walk into Porthleven, so ideally placed if you don't want to use the car much. And Porthleven has lots of lovely places to eat and drink, and lovely galleries. The walk to the Loe Bar along the coast path isn't too strenuos, and in the opposite direction you can walk to Rinsey Head and beyond. There are many places to visit within a short drive from Penrose too. We certianly hope to stay here again.

"Penrose is a lovely house, set in a lovely quiet area of Porthleven."
It is situated perfectly to enjoy the peace and quiet but only 5 / 10 minutes walk away to all the lovely restaurants, shops and the very picturesque harbour. Everything is supplied in the house, you don’t need to worry about anything and sitting outside in the back garden area is lovely, a real sun trap.

"Both Porthleven and Penrose are great, everything you would want for a holiday destination and accommodation."
Penrose is an extremely spacious, modern, clean, very well equipped and very comfortable bungalow. It was in a lovely quiet spot, and was only a 6 mins walk to the harbour and all the facilities. We really enjoyed staying there, and would not hesitate to stay there again as it was an ideal base to get to Falmouth, St Ives, Penzance and St Michaels Mount to name but a few. If you are looking for a great holiday stay, then Penrose is the one for you....
Many thanks, John & Brenda.

"We were not happy with the pervasive reek of oil from the boiler, we had to have the patio door open to clear the air whenever we were in."
The heating was set to completely the wrong time and there was a notice on the door to say do not touch the heating, so it was never on when we needed it. We could not get the TV in the lounge to work it kept switching itself on and off on its own! Luckily we did not want to watch much. It might be worth warning people about the difficulty in parking at the top of a steep incline into a narrow drive.

"This is a very pleasant and well - equipped holiday let, very well located for access to many interesting towns and seaside areas and we enjoyed our stay."
Our reason for not booking again has nothing to do with Penrose, but Cornwall is 400 miles plus from where we live, so we have been, ticked the lists and will not need to go again. However, I would say that this is the worst designed feedback form it has been my misfortune to encounter in a very long time.
