Guest testimonials

In their own words

The views are outstanding and Portloe is a small, quiet and very pretty village. The interiors are top notch and we enjoyed cooking in the lovely kitchen. It’s really well equipped and the table was a good size so it was a great space. Beds comfy and bathrooms fabulous - I recommend highly!
Jude - October 2025
This is the second time we have used Cornish Secrets (St Ives last year) and we will definitely be booking again with you in the future - keep up the great work!
