  The Slipway is a very cosy and comfortable cottage.

  It was exactly what we had hoped for during our two night stay. Perfect location and close to everything in town. The very welcome box of chocolates and red wine were also appreciated - thank you. There are a few things I would like to mention, which might be useful to the owners: Firstly, it would have been so nice to have arrived to find some milk in the fridge, and some teabags. We struggled through the snow and ice of "The Beast of the East" to get to Slipway and then found we had to go out immediately to buy these simple, cheap items before we could make ourselves a cuppa. Also the coffee and tea mugs were badly stained and I had to wash some cutlery and crockery before using them. It would have been really helpful, too, if there had been some soap in the bathroom - again, it was another trip the shops in the freezing temperatures. Secondly, we asked for a slightly later check out on Sunday (one hour) which Thaddeus kindly agreed to; but I just wonder if 3pm check in and a 10am check out is rather ungenerous, even for allowing for the cleaners to changeover. In my experience a 2pm check in and a 12 midday check out has been the norm. These are only observations which I hope might be useful. They didn't stop us having a lovely time a The Slipway - albeit very short. Thank you again.

  The property was cosy and comfortable.

  Scones and milk on arrival and flowers were a nice touch. We enjoyed our stay but a few things need some attention. 1) The property instructions folder needs a review. The WiFi details are incorrect and only a text message from the owner revealed the password (that I have written in the instructions). The location of the wheelie bin key is not described correctly. The kitchen equipment user guides are not mentioned. We eventually found them under the scales in one of the drawers. 2) Three of the oven buttons are missing so its timer functions cannot be used. 3) The fridge motor is very noisy. 4) The DVD player was in a drawer and needed connecting up in order to use it. 5) The online property summary mentions 'CD/radio' but we did not find a radio. 6) Would be useful to have a user guide for the TV, DVD, etc. 7) Bedroom walls were running wet with dampness or condensation. At such properties we usually expect some shower gel or conditioner to be supplied. There are very few drawers for storing clothes in the bedroom.

  Faded and fraying.

  Having paid the premium rate for a week in August we were at least expecting clean well appointed accommodation. All the comments I will make have been mentioned in previous reviews and I am not sure that the owner will take any action to remedy the faults. The directions to the accommodation were adequate but could be a little better. On arrival there was a musty smell of damp, I appreciate that the building is old but it has been renovated and surely something could be done. The damp was not helped as there was no place to dry wet clothing. The carpet was dirty in places and very frayed at the front door which was covered by a doormat, there was dust on many surfaces which had been there for some time and we found a pair of ladies briefs behind the armchair. The toilet brush was old and rusty and food wrappings and containers were found tucked into the sofa. On the positive side, the accommodation was very well located near the town centre and harbour.

  We had a lovely stay at the beachcomber, it had everything we needed and the location was spot on.

  There were few things that were a bit disappointing, we arrived to find no had soap or washing up liquid (even a very small amount would have been helpful as we arrived late in day after the local Tesco was closed). The bathroom bin was broken and there was some mould in the bathroom and when we came to use the washing machine it was full of black mould around the seal. Fortunately we had brought some antibacterial wipes with us which I used to clean the washing machine, there was even an old used tissue in the machine. The floor in the apartment wasn’t very clean, our white socks were black after the first day and there was a strange smell in the twin bedroom. The bed in the main bedroom was also very uncomfortable, almost like it was sloped on one side. Parking was a nightmare as well, very inconvenient. We wouldn’t stay here again

  A fabulous cottage, extremely clean , cosy living room , nice spacious kitchen and really comfy bed. A couple of minutes walk to the harbour. Porthleven is a beautiful place with lots of lovely places to eat and drink. We had a fantastic time . The corner deli was one of our favourites, their pizzas are amazing. The harbour Inn was good too. Amelies was a bit overpriced for what you get . Don't miss the brass band , they play opposite the harbour inn on Sunday evenings. They are really good. . We spent alot of time wandering around the Porthleven , it's so beautiful, stopping for coffee and ice creams . Look out for the local cat Reggie who always seems to be hanging out by the ice cream parlour . They even sell cards with his picture on . We had a wonderful stay , thank you
