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!
We had an amazing winter break in this lovely, characterful house. Fiona couldn't have been more helpful, and everything was provided for. We loved Portloe, and the bonus of having a parking space was very useful. We'd definitely like to return to make more use of the lovely garden spaces too. My mum is 83, uses a stick, but managed to get up the steps to enjoy the view! Loved it!
This lovely old character property is well equipment, comfortable and cosy as well as being surprisingly large. The only thing I feel compelled to mention are the very steep concrete steps to the garden out the back door, there is an alternative route to the garden that avoids these steps but not directly from the cottage. The bed was extremely comfortable and the log burning stove in the lounge was a dream to use. Would recommend bringing a small car, if you can, as the roads in and out of Portloe (and most the surrounding area) are typical Cornish country lanes with one car's width with occasional passing places, a lot of reversing up was required to get around. We have a Toyota CHR and found it a tight squeeze, even had my wing mirror clipped a couple of times, despite me being up against the hedge on my side. It won't stop us visiting Cornwall we will just use my partner's smaller Aygo next time. Fiona, the owner of the cottage couldn't be more helpful and her pre-visit instructions were very detailed.
Great location, lovely property, and a very thoughtful, responsive and helpful host. Weather was not so kind but the house was warm and cosy so it did not matter.
Wonderful spacious house with an amazing garden with views to die for. Lovely sea views from all the bedrooms and reception rooms. The property is very well equipped and has large comfortable beds, you need for nothing.
However I would not recommend to anyone with mobility problems as the steps up to the garden are very steep. My husband and I would definitely book again.
We had a lovely break here.
Great communication from Fiona throughout booking.
The home is very clean, comfortable and well-equipped plus the views from the bedrooms are amazing!
Property is within a stones throw of the small harbour (perfect to give the dog a quick run) and the local pub with very friendly owner.
Would absolutely recommend the property and the village.
We could not have asked have for anything more. The property is stunning with every large double bedroom benefitting from a sea view. Literally home from home! Kitchen well equipped with high end appliances. The garden is wonderful and we would love to return in the summertime to see all the plants in bloom, itâs obvious lots of time and effort has been put in. Visited for Christmas with 5 adults and two well behaved dogs. 5 stars!
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.
Beautiful house, amazing location with wonderful views, very tastefully furnished and extremely well-equipped, very gpod quality linen and general house finishes, lovely design and decor, garden was magical and interestingly layered.
Communication with the owner was prompt and very informative.
Our dog was very at home and loved the cliff top walks a stone's throw from the house.
We have no fault to make whatsoever. Nicest property and spot we have stayed in, in Cornwall and we have stayed in many.
Fiona's house was perfect for our family of five with a dog. The communication was amazing throughout and a small issue we had with the bed configuration was sorted within an hour. The whole house is well equipped, the location near to the harbour and 2 mins walk to the pub was ideal for us. The stairs to the garden are slightly steep but once up there the views were magical. Thank you for a lovely stay!
Cliff Garden is a spacious yet cosy cottage with a spectacular view of the sea.
The cottage is beautifully decorated and is really well equipped. The garden is really special - lots of garden rooms that our dogs enjoyed exploring.
Cliff Garden is positioned in the heart of the village of Portloe and it is easy to walk down to the sea, walk the coastal path or pop to the village pub but it also easy to drive to many other places in the area.
Fionaâs communication was excellent from start to finish - she provided lots of helpful information so that our holiday ran smoothly.
We would highly recommend a stay at Cliff Garden.
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!
Very nice property for a 1-week stay in a lovely little cove. Quirky lay-out since the property seems to be combined with an old kiln. Lights are on all night in car park below which is a bit polluting, but that is not the fault of the property owner. Good overall.
Really liked the property. Very good and comfortable accommodation. Very nice beds and furnishings ⊠well equipped. The garden is really gorgeous but not suitable for anyone who isnât prepared to climb steps.
I have let Cliff garden since 2005. We use the cottage as a family holiday home too so I have tried to make it really comfortable and a good place to stay to enjoy the best Cornwall has to offer. I like to think of Cliff Garden as a home way from home and hope you will too.
Portloe is a beautiful picturesque fishing village on the Roseland Peninsula. It has wonderful beaches and cliff walks. Local pubs and restaurants serve delicious cuisine. It is very peaceful yet you are able to travel to all the attractions of Cornwall quickly and easily. A bus service runs through the village to local areas which can be very handy.
The cottage is actually situated on the South West Coat Path with stunning cliff views - perfect for walkers, and their four legged friends.
The little harbour and beaches nearby are perfect for walkers, swimmers, anglers and professional sand castle builders.
The atmosphere of the cottage and its garden is such that it is the perfect place to unwind. The lovely sea air and listening to the waves is so relaxing. To sit up in the garden and look out over the sea has meant many guests have hardly left the property during their stay.
The house has a comfortable feel with top quality beds for a good nights sleep.
The friendly Ship Inn about 100 metres away serves good pub food. The little harbour is ideal for swimming or paddling as well as watching the boats go in and out. Freshly caught crab and lobster is readily available.
