This was our second stay at the cottage and it was again perfect for us (2 adults, 2 children) to head out to discover Porthleven and Cornwall.The house is very clean, is well equipped and nicely furnished and decorated. The beds are very comfortable and parking on the street not far from the cottage was always possible.

Excellent cottage

Great location just a short stroll down to the harbour where there is a lot going on and many excellent places to eat. The lovely beach is just a short stroll past the harbour. The property was a characterful cottage that had been tastefully modernised and had everything we needed for the four of us. We certainly will stay here again.

Island House, a perfect place to stay

Island House is perfectly located in the centre of Porthleven. Very comfortable and nicely decorated. It was an ideal base for a walking holiday. Excellent restaurants, pubs and a micro-brewery within walking distance. Will certainly return and would highly recommend to others. The host, James, could not have been more helpful.

Cosy Island House ideally situated in Porthleven

We thoroughly enjoyed our second stay at Island House. As soon as you open the door you feel welcome it’s so well presented, with everything you need. Island House is ideally located just a few minutes, walk from The Harbour, Beach, Shops and Restaurants its all there without needing to get in the car. Cornwall offers plenty more to explore just a short drive away. We would love to visit again. Julie

Great place to stay

Excellent contact with owner/host. Great location, 2 min walk into town. Parking was easy, even in July, there was room very near the property for free parking. But even if there isn't, you can park for £6 a day nearby. Spotlessly clean house. Comfortable furniture/beds etc and well equipped kitchen. Good shower. Note the bathroom is downstairs. Nice, small garden to sit in.

A PORTHLEVEN AND CORNWALL MAGNIFICENT HOLIDAY

After over eight years my twenty something son and I finally managed to have a two week holiday together and stayed at Island House in Porthleven. What a fantastic place and location we were fortunate to stay in and it exceeded all expectations and was without doubt our best ever holiday! The precious time we spent together was 'perfect' in every way. Thank you for everything! Robert Taylor

Perfect house & Perfect location!

We’ve just returned from a weeks stay at Island House (myself, husband and 19 yr old son) The house is perfectly appointed and really cosy, especially with the log burner which was so lovely when the weather was wet outside! It’s located in a lovely quiet area yet just seconds and minutes away from cafes and restaurants. Unlike some Cornish resort villages, Porthleven does not have a Cramped feel ( if that makes sense!) all the shops and restaurants are based in a semi circle around the harbour area. So even though it may be quite busy, you can always find a quiet spot. Portleven beach and harbour are lovely, but for swimming the lovely Praa sands is a 10 minute drive. We also visited Porthcurno beach which is beautiful. An evening performance at the minack theatre was a great experience, but very windy and cold. Even in early September dress very warmly and bring blankets! The best thing about island house, is that you can quite happily spend a day in Porthleven, wandering around the various shops and eateries, sit on the beach and watch the waves etc… yet if it rains or you just fancy going back to base you’re re only few minutes walk from the cottage….Light a fire, cosy up and get a takeout from the restaurant, literally across the street! So basically you don’t need to take the car out and travel to keep occupied, it’s all there in Porthleven! Thank you so much to the host and for leaving a lovely welcome pack! We would love to return 👍😊

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub in dem kleinen Cottage. Der Hafen mit kleinen, netten Läden und Cafés und der Strand sind nur 100 m entfernt. Der Ort ist idealer Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen an der Küste und viele Ausflüge und Sehenswürdigkeiten. Das Cottage war sehr sauber und alle Räume waren gemütlich und liebevoll eingerichtet. In der Küche fanden wir alles Wichtige zum Kochen vor. Die Gastgeber James und Sally hatten Shortbread und Prosecco als Willkommensgruß für uns bereit gestellt und wir haben uns in ihrem Cottage direkt wohl und willkommen geheißen gefühlt. Total nette und sympathische Gastgeber, die wir jederzeit kontaktieren konnten und uns mit Tipps weiterhalfen. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Klare Empfehlung!

Lage zum Hafen ist super, vom Haus aus sichtbar und nur wenige Schritte und man ist dort. Auch der Strand ist gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Netter kleiner Hof, der sich gut zum frühstücken eignet. Besonders mit den riesigen Scones vom Pizzabäcker eine Straßenecke weiter. Tagsüber leider etwas lauter, da direkt an der Hauptstraße gelegen, dafür einen Stern Abzug für die Lage. Aber nachts ruhig, da auch auf der Hauptstraße praktisch kein Verkehr ist. Gute Ausstattung und gemütlich. Parken ist nur mit kleinem Auto in unmittelbarer Nähe möglich, für größere Autos ist die enge Gasse hinter dem Haus zu schmal zum parken.

Perfekter Aufenthalt

Auf unserem Roadtrip durch Südengland haben wir mit unseren 2 Kindern eine Woche im Island House verbracht. Wir haben uns so wohl gefühlt , dass wir gerne länger geblieben wären. Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und dekoriert, sehr sauber und bietet alles was man braucht. Tolle Restaurants, Geschäfte, der Hafen und der Strand sind fußläufig erreichbar, was ein wichtiges Kriterium für die Auswahl des Ferienhauses war. Und von Porthleven aus kann man Cornwall super erkunden. Es gibt keinen eigenen Parkplatz, doch konnten wir in der näheren Umgebung immer einen finden. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen. Auch unseren Kindern hat es sehr gut gefallen!
