We really enjoyed our week in Kestrel House, it's spacious and very well equipped. The bedrooms and bathrooms were especially nice and everywhere was very clean. We loved the convenience of the location and didn't find it noisy. Having the garage was a real bonus. We would definitely stay there again.

We absolutely loved the house. It was so spacious and comfortable, decorated and furnished to high standards and really clean. The location is amazing - right on top of all the local attractions and amenities - and having the garage is a real bonus.

This was our 4th stay at Kestrel and we love it. The location is superb and parking on site is priceless. Everything about the house is comfortable, warm and welcoming. Its easy to get to so many places from Porthleven plus there are some lovely walks close by. Well be back

We have stayed in Porthleven 5 times in total. This cottage was the most central and the convenience of access to facilities was offset by the racket we endured. Unbeknown to us, Shute Lane appears to be a main arterial route to this side of Porthleven. This meant there was an endless stream of vehicles including a reversing bin wagon at 0509 hrs. Read moreOn the Saturdays (day of arrival) we wanted a quiet night in after a very long drive but unfortunately an open air bar has appeared in the harbour and the din of the music could be heard all night up until they closed at 11pm. I'm not clear why they've been given permission for this, given the quiet nature of the fishing port. Overall I would not stay in this cottage again. Hide

A great house in a fab location, it comes with an attached garage for parking which is so useful in Porthleven. The house itself is lovely and spacious, great for a family with children of all ages. Would definitely recommend!
