Lovely house with fabulous views. The large patio is a very pleasant place to sit and you can watch the occasional plane take off, otherwise very peaceful. The house is well looked after and probably the cleanest that we have stayed in. Friendly owners. A previous review said that the WiFI is non existent but it worked fine for us, just a little slow at times.

It was such a pleasure staying at porth view cottage. Definitely the better view between the two cottage’s. Getting away from the city to a quiet farm filled with cows, sheep and a horse was amazing. I thought the smell may be an issue but it definitely wasn’t. The family that owns the cottage are so helpful and kind, very accommodating. Loved everything about the holiday, there’s a quiet beach 7-8 minutes drive. Every beach in Cornwall is individually beautiful.
