Mrs Rolfe
The cottage is lovely and comfortable , the beds are very comfy . The kitchen is well equiped and really lovely . A Dvd player would be useful , we realise there used to be one . We had our cornish family to dinner and table and chairs were a great size , we had plenty of plates and glasses . We would love to stay again .

Lovely cosy cottage. Perfect for our family of 6. Close to beaches and nice hikes. Porthleven is just 10 min by car or 1.5h by hike away
