Very disappointed with this cottage. It was very unclean and was much smaller than it looked in the pictures. Although the sofas quite comfortable they smelt strongly of dog. The garden furniture very uncomfortable and dirty so unable to sit in the garden. Limited utensils in the kitchen and one of the beds had not been made so we had to ring to ask for extra bedding. It was also difficult to find parking near the cottage. Location for Porthlevin very good as only a short walk to the harbour but on a steep hill so wouldn't be suitable for everyone.

Our third visit and the property is even better having been refurbished since our last visit 2 years ago

Loved the cottage very homely and welcoming, the log burner would be lovely at colder times of the year

Plus points - very comfortable, clean beds, and lovely hot water.. Needed instuctions about how to find Elfin Cottage - after a long journey, we had quite a job to locate it. Felt the whole house was 'tired' - it could do with redecorating, and the bathrooms brought up to date. Kitchen adequate, but also looked old. Too much stuff, needed to be rationalised. The furnishings lacked something - one of the sofas smelt - dogs? In fact we thought the whole place needed a thorough, in depth, clean (this is not to criticise the people who went in to spruce up between clients - sure they did a good job, with the time available to them). Books very old; everything felt greasy, even the blue information folder. Contact telephone number in the folder rang off immediately. The garden was charming but way past its best - dead plants and overgrown shrubs. And why not a table and chairs in the garden? The chairs provided, once we'd cleaned them, were only comfortable to lie back in - hard to drink a cup of tea unless you perched on the edge. Finally, we think that you should provide some means of collecting recyclables, and instructions as to what to do with them. Surely just chucking everything in one bin isn't enough these days.

Absolutely lovely traditional cottage in heart of Porthleven.. Very restful and all necessities catered for. Garden was lovely and had some welcome shade under the apple tree. Thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and would love to visit again. Only little negative points was that parking could be difficult (although appreciate there are little narrow streets) and the dustbin was filled and overflowing with unhealthy unbagged rubbish from previous renters. Loved it though

The cottage was cosy, comfortable, warm and quite well appointed, especially the kitchen.. Showers were good too. Unfortunately it was also rather tired and jaded. The exterior was rather scruffy and there were copious amounts of dog poo on the garden and in a bag left by the front door - not a pretty sight when you arrive at your holiday cottage. The free wifi annoyingly gave up after a few days - possibly a router problem. Whilst we would wholeheartedly recommend Portleven (lovely harbour and foodie lovers paradise), we won't be going back to Elfin Cottage.
