Mrs G. Jones
"A well placed, beautiful cottage in a lovely setting. We found the walks in the area really good andpeople were very friendly. Good to have amenities a few minutes walk away such as shops and the pub. Able to walk to lots of areas around such as the woods. We were in the area to visit family however did get to Bantham and Bibury plus took the train to Looe for the day from Plymouth."

"The Porthole is a lovely property and we actually thought it was even nicer than the brochure pictures suggested. The view from the upstairs bedrooms is stunning - we enjoyed having a glass of wine on the balcony each evening before dinner. The property is well equipped, there's nothing it lacks and handy to have the local shop a few minutes away and the pub a 5 minute walk. We would happily visit again."
