Mr Redfern
Lovely property in great position. Just round corner from harbour but great sea views from main bedroom. We especially like the small bench outside front door for watching sun go down. Good facilities as described. Porthleven it’s self is lovely in so many ways.

The cottage was in an ideal position with views of the sea from the front. Inside the cottage was completely comfortable and clean with everything you need and more! Homely touches throughout and many nice local, quality furnishings
