Finest Retreats - The Hideaway - Studio Apartment in Porthleven

Like a great ‘tiny home’ - had everything we needed in a great, quiet location. The bed was very comfortable and there were lots of ‘bits and bobs’ there we wouldn’t have expected. Things like washing up/ cleaning stuff you often need to go and buy were already there. ( as were tea / milk etc). The space is small but well thought through. Comfortable temperature. Heated towel rail that dried wet towels/ swimmers. We got street parking close by. Easy walk to harbour. Pleasant outside area. Great value and would return.

The ‘private’ patio seating area is not as private as indicated - is completely open to the ‘alley’ / backs of other properties/ walkway. As it goes, it was nice to say hello to the neighbours/ the few people who walked past but was not as expected.

The cleanliness and design of the property.

I found the bed a little hard on the first night, but soon got used to it.

Great location, property was tidy and clean and they left us some lovely biscuits and a few things in the fridge :-)

Possibly an issue with humidity which was building up during the night due to lack of ventilation. With the door slightly opened it seemed to resolve.

Great compact apartment in a good location close to the village centre. It's got everything you need.

Nothing to report.

Everything you needed for a short stay

shower wasn’t great but did the job no tea towels provided

it was very well instructed so i knew exactly what to do. there were extra details e.g. shampoo/conditioner which were great.

took me a while to figure out how to turn the shower on! maybe a sign or a note to say the switch is outside ?

Location, facilities

Lovely little studio apartment in central Porthleven with easy access to restaurants/pubs/harbour/beach. Quite small inside but space was used well but there isn't a great deal of storage. Just enough room for our (big) dog to sleep. Easy to access and find with What3Words and easy to get in with key lock box plenty of parking on Thomas Terrace but we did stay in January. Can imagine very busy in summer. Very clean and tidy with lovely welcome of milk in fridge and tea/coffee in jars as well as a support number if we needed it. Porthleven was gorgeous in the January sunshine and we loved and long walks along the coastal path to Loe Bar and Mullion and the Ship Inn is a fantastic retreat post exercise!!

I personally found the mattress too hard, but my partner was fine with it. With 2 keys and keyring we found it very difficult to fit the keys back in the lock box everytime we left. These are only minor gripes though and it was a lovely stay.
