Tea, coffee and milk were provided which was a really nice touch. The outside area is really big and would be lovely to sit out in the summer. A quick walk to shops, restaurants, pub and a cafe. It would be better if there was a hob but the portable one was good enough to make a one pan meal. ##### Makayla This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrizia Oct 6, 2024 #### Beautiful house in porthleven Beautiful house, very comfortable and perfect for two people! Perfect location to go easily on foot around the very beautiful country. And also to visit all the wonders of Cornwall, we had a great time we wished we could have stayed longer. We had a bit of trouble finding it because it was in a little street but in the end everything worked out fine. ##### Patrizia ### 8/10 Good #### Marion D.

The cottage was slightly hard to find and the map location slightly off, so check the instructions carefully. Cottage is nice, though maybe a bit smaller than I thought from the photos, and a bit expensive. There were also a lot of forms to complete! ##### Alasdair This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen Mar 22, 2024 #### We loved our stay at Salvay, in Perthleven. It was in a perfect for us to walk to family and had everything we needed for our stay – apart from a hob! I would suggest a hob be added to the kitchen, then Salvay would be a perfect 5/5 across the board.
