Great location, usually a parking space at front. Ideal for access to cafes, restaurants and shops. Plenty of towels, hot water and basics in the kitchen.

Great location, usually a parking space at front. Ideal for access to cafes, restaurants and shops. Plenty of towels, hot water and basics in the kitchen. The DVD player on the TV didn't work sadly and the corkscrew was missing which was supplied by the landlady. The bins weren't emptied on Saturday as required, we assumed it was the wheelie bin that we had placed the black sacks in. But it wasn't clear in the book which bin to use. Landlady responded well to messages.

Travelled from USA. 2 bulbs in the house had blown upon arrival, one in the bathroom one the bedroom. Had to take apart bathroom light fixture and replace the bulb with one from the bedroom. The tv did not work upon arrival. It would not power on. I checked the fuse box and that was fine. Disappointed, Tried to contact owner of the house to repair but got no answer

The bunk bed room wasn't made up as requested. The top floor double bed is uncomfortable, maybe a mattress topper or new mattress would be a good investment. A washer/dryer or dryer instead of dish washer would be a good idea. Everything else and Holliday Fab

“Sea Star was in an excellent ...”

Sea Star was in an excellent location with an easy flat walk to the shops and restaurants. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Porthlevan is a wonderful place with lots to see and do on the doorstep. We all had a fabulous holiday with Sea Star provided the perfect base.

“A welcome pack is always very ...”

A welcome pack is always very welcome but in a holiday home at this price I would have expected at least a bar of soap to have a wash once we had arrived! We had to go out immediately to buy some, not ideal after a long journey. Wifi too would have been nice and was surprised (once we had booked the cottage) that it was unavailable.

“What a view!!!”

Lovely holiday rental Right on the harbour with amazing views. Nice welcome pack - thank you greatly appreciated - lovely fresh flowers in the lounge area as well. Comfortable sofa, Well equipped kitchen, everything needed for self catering, nice modern bathroom. Bedrooms a little dated but well maintained although beds were a little tired - maybe new mattresses sometime to prevent aching backs from springs? Loved sitting out the front on the bench and nice touch that a small table & chairs were available for food alfresco style. Very close to many fab food establishments- if unable to park outside there's a designated parking space a few minutes walk away by the local supermarket.

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 its 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 its 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.
