Mel is extremely knowledgeable.  Hope to return before to long"

"We've stayed in Porthleven many times over the years.  Penty Myghal is a lovely place to stay.  Great location - the walk to Loe Bar is one of our faves with a coffee stop at The Stables.  The Ship Inn, sitting by the fire has also been essential this week to dry off & get warm!  Sunday carvery at the Harbour Inn is also a must.  A great stay thank you! We look forward to coming back for the New Year!"

"What an incredible weekend we had staying in your beautiful home.  It has everything you want and more.  We were so lucky to be here for the Christmas lights switch on - fantastic friendly and festive atmosphere.  We are in love with Porthleven from it's stormy harbour to the coastal cliff walks, enjoying drinks by the fire in The Ship Inn and a lovely steak meal at the Harbour Inn.  Thank you so much - Mel best host ever! xx"
