Fantastic place, so pin drop quiet at night and saw so many stars.Nearby coast lines well worth a visit. Comfortable home from home. Steps to the garden are steep so be prepared but once mastered the views with morning coffee are outstanding.Rooms immaculate. Shower is lovely! Sea view is very special. The kitchen is the best we’ve stayed in. Could do a roast for 6! Host very quick response. We stayed for 5 nights and would love to return

A lovely relaxing couple of days at this lovely property - watched incredible sunrises over the sea, enjoyed cosy nights in front of the log fire and had a lovely meal at the hotel just a few steps away from the house. Homely, comfortable and well equipped, we loved our stay at Cliff Garden

Lovely property in a great location, fully equipped with tasteful furniture and a fully equipped modern Kitchen. Bedrooms are large, airy, light and clean. All linen was newly laundered and of good quality. All in all, a delightful stay with a wonderful cliff garden. As always in Cornwall, parking would be an issue with more than one car; however, there is a handy and reasonable community parking area.

Very nice stay in Portloe

The cottage is nice, quite spacious and very near to the sea. Garden with a beautiful view. The only downside is the slight dampness. But overall we loved our stay.

Dear Bert, I am so glad you enjoyed the cottage and your stay in Cornwall. As we say in our notes on the house, the area as you enter is technically an outside space as this is the historic feature of the old lime kiln. Unfortunately as this does have rock walls it does appear damp from time to time, especially in the wet weather like we've been having. All of these old listed cottages do suffer from moisture as they are so close to the sea and we do also highlight this in our notes. I am glad that you still loved your stay. I am going to double check the property to make sure that the main accommodation is warm and dry. Best Wishes Fiona

Cliff Garden is a Gem

We loved our stay at Cliff Garden. The cottage is filled with light, has a wonderful kitchen, the most comfortable beds, and is just steps from The Ship Inn for the best fish and chips! The cottage was larger than we needed as a family of 3 but made us realize that we will come back with friends next time! Our only wish was that our stay be longer!

Absolutely Perfect

We couldn't have found a better place to stay for our Cornwall vacation. The house was clean and beautiful and well-appointed, while still maintaining the old cottage by the sea charm. The host was very availalble if we needed anything and the village residents were lovely. We can't wait to come back!
