Excellent holiday location with parking

Very clean and cosy homely property for a great getaway in Porthleven. With parking an issue in this popular village being able to know you can just park up on your own dedication spot is great. We love Porthleven and look forward to coming back again and would definitely rebook this property.

A week in Cornwall

The cottage and the location absolutely brilliant. Best of all it's on the main bus route between Penzance and Falmouth The buses are really cheap and reliable so if like me you like a tipple with your lunch it's the perfect way to get around.

Perfect family stay

Easy to find, great communication and the perfect base for our holiday. Parking was such a bonus and the very short walk to the harbour was ideal. Lisa and Matt were quick to get back to us with any questions we had and some much appreciated tips on the local area. We had an amazing week. Thank you!

Bathroom needs attention.

We had a very good stay at Driftwood. Porthleven and the location of the property were ideal. The only thing that was at fault was the bathroom which needs some serious attention. Also we could have done with an information pack left by the owner.

Very clean, just a slight ingress up and down to get to Harbour, and need more info to operate hot water boiler. Neighbours were very nice and friendly. Windows could do with up grading as condensation is in between double glazing.

Brilliant location for this beautiful place

Having dedicated parking in Porthleven is great and takes out all the stress when you know you can just pull up. Located in a quiet area with friendly neighbours but just a short walk to the harbour. When my son and I come back to Porthleven we would definitely like to stay here again. The only negative with an otherwise great place is that there is not a freezer facility but Lisa kindly arranged to freeze some bottles for our journey home so that we could take home some famous Philps pasties.

porthleven Forth Scoll

we arrived late in the day but entry was as arranged. the property was immaculate and well furnished. there were some welcome drink making items. The kitchen was nicely laid out with good quality items. we didn't realize there was a dushwadher until later in the week, but as we were mostly dining out itvdidnt matter. the house is in a quiete street and has a secluded back garden with patio furniture. me walk into the town is less than a five minute stroll. porthleven is a lovely place with a picturesque harbour and beach. we enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Gepflegtes Ferienhaus in guter Lage

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche in diesem hübsch eingerichteten Häuschen in einer ruhigen Sackgasse in Porthleven. Lisa und Matt waren super entgegenkommend, als sie z. B. gehört haben, dass wir von "overseas" kommen, haben sie sofort angeboten, uns Handtücher zur Verfügung zu stellen (Normalerweise werden nur Bettwäsche und Geschirrtücher gestellt). Fragen per Mail wurden innerhalb von 1-2 Stunden beantwortet. Das Haus liegt günstig für Wanderungen auf dem South-West-Coast-Path und für Ausflüge/Besichtigungen im Westen Cornwalls. Vielen Dank für die tolle Zeit. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Brilliant holiday in Cornwall

Conveniently located to explore the south west of Cornwall- spectacular beaches, coves and coastal walks. Parking space is very welcome. A very minor problem was quickly dealt with. Property is clean and good for a small family. Thank you for all the recommendations of where to visit and places to eat.

About the host

Hosted by Matthew and Lisa Jones

We are a family of four that fell in love with Porthleven and everything it has to offer. We have been coming here since 2003 and have seen our children go from playing on the beaches to crabbing, body boarding, harbour jumping, fishing and mucking about on boats. We still spend the majority of our holidays here both in winter and summer.
We have tried to think of everything to make your stay enjoyable. You will find us easy to deal with and happy to help.
Best wishes
Lisa and Matt.

Why they chose this property

There are many reasons why we love coming to Driftwood, here are a few of them. Driftwood is light and spacious yet in the winter feels warm and cosy. It is in a peaceful location just a short walk to the harbour, beach and shops. We often enjoy breakfast in the back garden on the sunny decking. It is thoughtfully decorated and feels just like a holiday home should.
It is easy to get to and park, having our own drive is a real benefit in the height of the season when parking can be tricky in town.
